1. WOW...A PEEP from little Miss Livni
Malcolm   (09.24.07)
Wasn't she the one who surrendered to Ahmadinejad last summer? weren't the terms of surrender endless day and night re-arming under UN supervision? Didn't she hand Ahmadinejad Gaza and not make a peep about his endless arming of Hamas through Sinai? So what the hell is she bitchin about NOW? She gave her overlords in Tehran EVERYTHING they wanted WHEN they wanted it.
2. ...should be ashamed....
Ed ,   USA   (09.24.07)

eddie ,   london UK   (09.24.07)

7. Livni, Ahmedinajad, Sharon, Peres, all in same camp
Samuel Gopinath ,   Hong Kong, SAR   (09.24.07)
Livni and all the others before her should be ashamed too! Israel killed Americans during the '67 War. Israel has killed Arab-Americans in its various invasions of Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank. And more importantly, Israel has caused many Americans' death due to its policies of occupying Arab lands and the myriad after effects that policy has engendered. Yes, shame on you Livni. You're in the same camp as Ahmedinajad.

Eshter ,   Ofarim, Israel   (09.24.07)
You can only dream of our freedom of speech in your Hezbolla/Syria/Iran controlled country. Apply the same energy to clean up Lebanon of your foreign overlords that you to do hating Israel and see how your country would bloom. Unfortunately those who talk out of line on your side of the border tend to get blown up. OOPs..

13. i see the moral equivalence crowd is present
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (09.24.07)
present, with their ignorance proudly displayed for everyone to see. at least the truth remains that israel's weapons are for the deterrence of the islamic-fueled crazies whose weapons are for israel's elimination. which is why there is no moral equality to be found in this equation.
14. No membership-I agree
never ,   ever   (09.24.07)
What can possibly the Columbia University gain from this visit ?He will be prepared for all the questions.Iran should lose their membership in the UN.They are at conflict with the UN.The UN continues their shameful behavior.They never learn.
15. Demonstration
never ,   ever   (09.24.07)
The students at Columbia could make a difference if they turned their back at Ahmedinejad when he arrives.In that way they show him and the world that they want no part in this Holocaust-denier and his warmongering attitude.Isn't he "satisfied" with the work of the nazi regime,since he is denying it happened ?
16. Shameful
ART ,   Lebanon   (09.24.07)
Livini is responsible for killing just as many Israeli lives as Lebanese lives in the last war... Iran should be the least of your concerns... Politics change and less than a decade ago the shah of Iran wass your buddy...lets just get this shit over with and sign peace that suits all equally...
17. #12 Israel doesnt go around saying REPEATEDLY that..
Scott   (09.24.07)
it will wipe other countries off the map. Iran DOES. Is that too hard for you to understand? Israel doesn't even admit to having nukes , despite what Olmert was supposed to have said.
18. Comment
Jacob ,   US   (09.24.07)
I totally agree, US should be ashamed of allowing such a racist Nazis country like Israel to be a UN member. Israel is an illegitimate state, build on the torture of the Palestinians and the taking by force of the land & property of the Palestinians, the real owners of the Palestine. Israel people are homeless, country less individuals who came from different countries and settled by force in Palestine. Israel is an 'illegal' state and UN should be shameful of offering it a seat in the UN assembly. I dare you publish this comment.
19. colombia U tax free statues
chaim ,   miami beach usa   (09.24.07)
A 501-3c allows public bodies to be exempt from taxation, NY City also does not impose real estate tax upon the tangible and intangible property belonging to Colombia University. In my opinion Colombia University has violated both the content and spirit of the law granting them Tax free statues. First in their treasonous act of “publicly denigrating” our armed forces by refusing them any rights to have its recruiters on their property. Second under the guise of “Free Speech” is encouraging a despot the ability of spreading his venomous diatribe against the very foundations of the county Colombia University rest upon. The notion that, that weasel will give clear and concise answers to any questions posed to him, has never seen this piece of human waste answer pointed “yes” or “no” answers to any reporter from a country that cherishes to right to free speech, if such reporter is even granted a visa to enter a country that its very laws deny, deprive and incarcerate or just outright murder any dissention from their 6th century religiously conjured up laws. The entire leadership of Iran is compromised of an attitude of total disregard of human decency, and the joke I heard from this vermin when he was intervened by an American Reporter to a direct question that he answered which was patently false, “I am a Moslem and I cannot Lie” Islamic law allows, deceit, lies, when used against an infidel. The publicly announced reasoning behind the leadership granting such vile murderer of aiding and assisting in the maiming and murdering United States Solders yet at the same time denying them the right to recruit students that have fidelity and strong sense patriotic duty to their country. This learning establishment is not entitled to have any relief for being Taxed. Yes they can invite any worm to appear on their property but not at the Public Expense. Vacate their tax exempt statues then what they actually do is not publicly funded by the American, New York Citizens
20. Free Speech at the UN
steve ,   london, england   (09.24.07)
Israel's Foreign Minister is wrong to declare, quote: "In a just world, his visit would never have been authorized and Iran would not be a member of the United Nations". What would be the prospects for the maintenance for international peace and security if Iran were expelled from the UN? Israel is not the only country in the region. There are other nation States whose peace and security would be compromised if Iran were expeled from the UN. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has formerly declared to his people that he was born to lead them and to deliver up to them a better world than the world he inherited when he became president. The way he has chosen to go about doing this is the way of a ranting bully. The methods he has employed are the methods of a contract killer. This is definitely not a man to be excluded from speaking his mind at the UN. Unfortunately the General Assembly is not the best place for cross-examining a man with regard to his ambitions. Speech making is as easy for politicians as silence is for dumb mutes. However, the more people who get to scrutinize his state of mind the better. It is better to be forewarned for forewarned is forearmed. The elections are coming in Iran and this man will hopefully be kicked out of State power. There are millions of rational people in Iran too. It should be easier to arrest him when he is out of office. He should be arrested and tried for crimes against humanity. Come now Tzipi Livni, you can do better than that. Mobilize Israel television to make copious and intensive television reportage on the efforts of the UN Organization to monitor human rights in Iran and Syria. Pull the ground from under all their feet. The UN included. They are incompetant. Take the fight for a better world to the enemy my friend. Shalom
21. To Tzipi Livni: You areguided by theguardian angel of Israel
Rivkah   (09.24.07)
which is Michael the Archangel. Mr. Ahmadinejad is influenced by the Prince of Persia, a fallen angel who has authority over Iran. You should pray for Mr. Ahmadinejad to be protected from being incited to war by the Prince of Persia who is so powerful he prevented a messenger angel from the Lord from getting a message to Daniel the Prophet in the Bible for 21 days. How can a mere human resist the influence of a fallen angel who appears to be an angel of light but is evil beyond belief? By prayer and fasting of those who want him to be stronger than the evil that seems to control him. His job is much harder than yours because the dark powers that rule behind the scenes in Iran are evil while the guardian angel of Israel is good. In the meantime, sanctions on Iran may be helpful.
22. #21 You give the devil WAY to much credit. He is a fallen
angel.Not created in ,   mans class @ all.   (09.24.07)
23. to 18 Jacob
steve ,   london, england   (09.24.07)
You nasty little person. Israel is neither Nazi or Zionist. It is a nation STATE. As in the english verb: to express words in speech or writing., and the english noun: an organized community under one government. And before you launch into a tirade against me about the government of Israel. It is a democracy. Our government was not elected to kill people. We do not kill people for pleasure. If we didn't have to respond violently (however expediently with consideration to civilians and non combatants as we possibly can) to attacks on our infrastructure and our people we could get on with our lives in peace. But since we have not enjoyed a single day of peace since Auschwitz was liberated we shall go on standing our ground. And we shall stand tall and shout miserable racist idiots like you down. Eat yourself. There is only one State in the region who is serious about an international community governed democratically and in the context of human rights and it is the State of Israel. For starters you should look up the Hebrew and Arabic words for 'state' see how these compare to english and perhapsd you will see the magnitude of the problem facing us. Our record on human rights would be better if we didn't have to fight. We hate war. We are almost the only State who hates war.
24. Ahmadinejad mocks freedom
Ypip ,   Vancouver   (09.24.07)
Iran is smuggling advanced weapons, including surface-to-air missiles, into Iraq to be used by extremists against American troops and Iraqis. The mullahs are shifting sophisticated arms such as RPG-29s, explosively-formed penetrators (EFPs), 240 mm rockets and Misagh-1 surface-to-air missiles across its borders into Iraq and most likely into Afghanistan as well. It continually interferes and infiltrates shaky governments of the region, like Syria and Lebannon. It's like rag-weed run amok. It continues to use companies which are free from sanctions to further develop its propoganda, munitions, and nuclear programme. Over all of this - mainstream Iranians within and without the regime can't really stand Ahmadinejad nor the regime thats been repressing the country since the revolution. Shortly after his IRGC-engineered win, Ahmadinejad, a former senior IRGC commander, vowed to “spread the Islamic Revolution throughout the world.” With the full blessing of Khamenei, he staffed the top tiers of his cabinet and diplomatic corps with veteran IRGC commanders. Today, nearly one-third of the parliament is comprised of IRGC members. Backing down in the nuclear standoff and in Iraq would jeopardize the survival of the mullahs theocratic regime as well as Ahmadinejad, obviously.
25. Livni is right
Brod ,   USA   (09.24.07)
Livni is right on this issue. It is amazing to see Antisemtes and Islamist-Jihadists singing their tune in these TBs. They are full of venom for Israel. It seems that they are in full agreement with Ahmadinejad's evil goal on Israel.
26. Where is MOSSAD ? !
QmAn ,   london   (09.24.07)
I just wonder where mossad is? I think Ahmadinejad should be vanished for a long time ago.
27. #11, we should not be ashamed of anything!
DR ,   Florida, USA   (09.24.07)
Israel and the US allow free thought, free religion, free speech and a freedom to persue happiness. Iran does not allow any of these things. There are plenty of Muslims living in Israel and in the US, enjoying these rights. Ahmadinejad represents all that is bad in the Muslim world, yet fools like you defend him? You are the one who should be ashamed!!!
28. DR,.....YOU ARE LEFT OUT.#27
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (09.25.07)
DR,Ahmednejad represents avery big country which is becoming more and more popular.besides few countriesin the Middle east,now even the americans are begining to question the misinformation on Iran.Obviously,you wont join the band but atleast reduce your lies and avoid influencing people having brains to use.they understand and have begun to appreciate what they actually know as opposed to being fed from the biased press.
29. #28 Mahmood and mis-education
DR ,   Florida, USA   (09.26.07)
Any sane person with an education level above the third grade knows that you are wrong. maybe you believe that there are no gays in Iran and maybe you believe that Iranians have freedoms as we do here in the US. If you do, then you are trully dumb and uneducated. This is the main difference between western cultures and people like you. We actually have free press and free education so the truth usually finds its way out. I'm not so sure in your case.
