1. US veto in pocket of Jewish lobby, wipes Israel's crimes
la ,   USA   (01.25.08)
It is not in US interest to defy Int'l community to give immunity to Jewish occupation in Palestine. Jewish lobby runs the show in Washington and US interests mean nothing when it comes to Israel
2. the UN is not interested in the facts
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (01.25.08)
facts do not fit within the UN's agenda, which is why it is an ineffective and impotent propoganda tool for such despots.
3. UNOCCUPIED GAZA
Stan ,   JHB RSA   (01.25.08)
Shooting rockets into a neighbouring state is an act of WAR. Providing electricity and humanitarian aid to a neighbouring state is an unneccessary act of KINDNESS Gaza is an unoccupied liberated independant democratic state that should consider its actions carefully
4. To # 1
California Bear ,   Berkeley, USA   (01.25.08)
And you in the pocket of leftist insanity and Islamic terrorists apologists once again show the subversive elements living amongst us in the West.
5. The Arab League says "Jump"...
Lisa ,   USA   (01.25.08)
and the UNSC asks "How High?" Seriously, why any nonsense produced by the Arab League is automatically considered and even has to be accepted by the Security Council? It is time for the member countries who claim to be enlightened democracies to just say "NO".
6. 1# "jewish lobby"
izzy d   (01.25.08)
I think that you refer to logic and reason as "the jewish lobby". gee
7. Good Wood
Prince ,   Netanya   (01.25.08)
The hypocracy shown by the nations of the world is mind boggling, after Isreal succumbs to international pressure to leave Gaza which is biblically Jewish land and only closes the borders with Gaza after repeated terror attacks through these open borders leave it no choice and apart from over 10 000 rocket attacks on Israel from Gaza in the last two years they continue to blame Israel for the suffering in Gaza . This can only be explained in one of two ways 1.Rampant antisemitism-dont try and call it anything else because you know in your hearts its true 2.Massively successful Arab/Palastinian propaganda
8. What a shame
Christian ,   Sweden   (01.25.08)
Evidently US was alone in the security council defending common decency and international law. The other members of the council including France and Great Britain were prepared to deny Israel natural rights for every sovereign state as defending its citizens and controlling its borders which includes a temporary shutting due to security reasons. What other states takes for granted should be denied Israel. What a shame. It is capitulation in the face of Hamas and its supporters.
9. un gaza blockade
mark ,   england   (01.25.08)
The UN is a totally damp squid that is blatantly anti israel and is more the problem than the solution.
10. Right or wrong Arab League incapable of honesty
Steve   (01.25.08)
I submit to the esteemed U.N. delegates from various Arab states who decry Israel's tactics as "crimes against humanity" that in order to do so one must have a source of "humanity" to violate.
11. Where are the resolutions against Hamass crimes?
freejay ,   Israel   (01.25.08)
The UN has been hijacked by islamofacists. Disgustingly biased!
12. Israel left Gaza 2 years ago but it keeps
Gillerman is full of ,   s   (01.25.08)
bombarding it from above. Israel still controls everything and everyone that goes in and out of Gaza. Gaza is has been the biggest prison in the world ever since Israel so graciously decided to "leave" it.
13. will anyone solve that little problem?
observer   (01.25.08)
((Delegations from the United States and Israel, which both have observer status at the Council, boycotted the two-day session, diplomats said.)) http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3498351,00.html ((Only one of the 15 council members - the United States - opposes the Arab draft.)).
14. Arab murderers should not be put on the same footing as Isra
Harold Lane ,   Tel Aviv   (01.25.08)
Arab murderers should not be put on the same footing as Israeli victims. The UNO and the Security Concil members should know that there are never good excuses for murder : ignoring the murder is the equivalent of complicity. It is the duty of every State, as well as Israel, to defend its citizens – Its absolute duty and not only its right. Condemning Israel doesn’t bring solutions. Only a clear, straight and objective approach of the painful Israelo-Arab problem will have a chance to solve it as explained at : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-paradigm-for-israeli-palestinian_19.html
15. Canada
To #1: Arab lobby ,   Frank   (01.25.08)
So you are disastified because some countries does not bow to the Arab lobby and its repulsive methods: terror, blackmail, anti-Semitism, war, ...
16. #12- it's that daily rocket & mortar "bombarding" thing
Cameron ,   USA   (01.25.08)
It tends to be one Hell of a stimulus toward an Israeli response.
17. The Jewish land of Gaza will expunge the enemy.
Roger ,   USA   (01.26.08)
They will never be happy on it and will drown in hate and misery.
