61. 47: Hey, Invicta, if you really believed it, you wouldn't be
Global Citizen ,   Israel & USA   (12.15.08)
here trolling. The truth is, our enemies are unsafe for everyone - always have been, and if we're wiped out, you're next. And while you're allowing your brain to be twisted into a pretzel by their and Mr. Falk's propaganda, consider how dead you'd all be without everything we do with any money. That's right - instead of building bombs and weapons, we're curing diseases and creating technologies for your sorry arses. If you're ungrateful, PLEASE boycott and wave bye-bye.
62. To Richard from Londonistan
Joo ,   Eurabia   (12.15.08)
Please learn how your compatriots murdered Israeli citizens in Tel Aviv in Mike's place bombing in 2003. The recent events in Mumbai, again British terrorists are killing americans, Hindu, Jews. Please don't waste the time with your moronic brainwashing. Londonistan is the European center of Jihad. You've got a problem, habibi!
63. #6,10 not a new policy to hide, being Jew is anti-Semitism
observer   (12.15.08)
Speaking to the BBC, Richard Falk, professor emeritus of international law at Princeton University (and a US Jew) said he believed that up to now Israel had been successful in avoiding the criticism that it was due. He is not an ultra-Orthodox NK, but an ordinary Jew.
64. Rights of the Palestinian civilian population
James ,   Ramat Hasharon   (12.15.08)
A simple question - who are the Palestinian civilians living under Israeli occupation? Gaza is not under Israel occupation, neither is Ramallah.
65. #63 Yes, observer, just an ordinary Jew...
Roman ,   Lod, Israel   (12.15.08)
...who believes in the 9/11 Vast Right-Wing Zionist Conspiracy, who supported Khomeini's revolution in Iran... And who believes that Israeli occupation is the same as a genocide with 12 million casualties. Oh, and he also believes that suicide-bombing is a legitimate form of "struggle". Basically, he's a radical Left-winger who just happens to have had Jewish parents, and who has no problem with using his supposed Jewishness to give him political street cred.
66. #46, Dick, Road blocks save Lives
David ,   Boston, USA   (12.15.08)
Its too bad you are more interested in NOT protecting lives on both sides and in peace than you are in complaining about Israel. Real peace comes when people want it. Its clear you and the Arabs DONT want it, just to complain and steal Jewish land.
67. #47, you sure?
Danny   (12.16.08)
Why don't you check how much Israel imports from the EU and how much it exports... And again learn to read, never mentioned the EU
68. #50, technically it is a present tense conditional
Danny   (12.16.08)
and invicta is english. I know their education system has been collapsing for years but that really is no excuse.
69. #62, again don't bother
Danny   (12.16.08)
He knows it is BS. That's why he doesn't argue and cuts and pastes from whatever "I am an anti-semite who pretends to be anti-zionist" throws up on google.
70. #63, Falk must have his geography mixed up
Danny   (12.16.08)
When EXACTLY was Israel "successful in avoiding criticism"?
71. #47, not if the "truth hurts"
Danny   (12.16.08)
when you say something true, I'll let you know. PS noticed your moronic comment about the EU was directed at someone else. Doesn't alter the fact that Israel is a net importer from the EU.
72. Falk claimed Bush knew about the 9/11 attacks
Ken Jurist   (12.16.08)
This guy is a wacko who believes Bush knew about the 9/11 attacks. Zionism is a political movement against Moslem racism. The so called "suffering of the Palestinian people". They chose the path they are on when they launched their terrorist campaign. They must walk down that path. Israel`s hands are clean, all it has done it protect its people from the murderers who hide in amongst their own civilian population. We can show sympathy to Palestinians who were hurt because they were victims of their own leadership. Falk believes the world should support people who build bomb factories inside apartment buildings, or strap bomb belts to retarded and disturbed teens. The routine mass-murders and crimes committed by the Palestinians only decreased significantly when Israel reocuupies the cities and started destroying the houses of suicide bombers and of terrorists operatives, and killing the terrorist leaders.. Proving that these are effective steps. One only needs to ask, which side blows up buses full of children and which side targets ringleaders and masterminds.
73. Falk silent on Arab aparthied
David Stoler   (12.16.08)
Read this great article. http://us.oneworld.net/issues/population/-/article/300000-syrian-kurds-buried-alive
74. Man I betcha that guy was so pissed of@us.Blah,ha,ha,ha,ha,
ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha ,   Made my day it did!   (12.16.08)
75. To Terry #6. Speak Out Loud And Louder.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (12.16.08)
You say :” We don't have to cooperate in our own demise.” I agree. We (i.e. Israeli officials) should speak out loud and louder against the anti-Israel approach of Israel by representatives of other countries and world bodies. In front of God we should remain meek and humble. But in front of jackals, who has surrounded us and wants to dismember us, we should NOT remain meek and humble. Regarding Mr. Tony Blair, only AFTER making sure that the Wahabbism-nonsense being preached by the two universities (Al-Riyadh and Al-Medina) of Saudi Arabia is STOPPED -- only then can he enter Israel. This Wahabbism is creating great HAVOC in Pakistani society and is the cause of terrorism worldwide.
76. Next time Falk shows up, put him on trial
eh-oop ,   UK   (12.16.08)
It's not much of a punishment for this master of black propaganda to be turned back at the airport. His caricatures of the truth incite hatred against Israel, demonise the innocent party and provide "intellectual" cover for those who want to destroy it. If he comes back, charge him with crimes against humanity. Has the world learnt nothing since Streicher?
77. funny
#68   (12.16.08)
arguing grammar here! But no, present tense condition is #1 and would be" If I have... will+v in the base form. doctorate in English! nevermind though it is insane!
78. #77, i stand corrected....
Danny   (12.16.08)
79. wow
#78   (12.16.08)
I respect your honesty! You are a good person! It gave some time out in view of these annoying propaganda-promoting pro- palestinians! And now there is that awful bus accident... bye! Thanks
80. In spite of all the Invictas, Richards
isde   (01.12.09)
and Falks of the world, Israel should never open her doors for dubious people and organizations, especially when such individs and organizations are only bent on premeditated criticism, bashing and singling out of only Israelis, Jews, Jewish values and whatever is connected to us. Meantime, the terrorist Hamas who are the real responsible ones for crimes against their own people, conveniently skip your attention and that of the redundant organization called U.N. There comes a time when enough is enough ! But we advise you guys to condemn only yourselves for your meanness, lack of respect for the 'other', your raw hatred and your intransigence towards Israel.
82. israel denies entry to human rights
ray stuart ,   zurich   (01.12.09)
Falk is biased against Israel so it is only right hisn entry is denied. Also there is an Irish representive Goren???? who is so biased ,now and in the past against Israel ,he should not be allowed to continue in his role as head of the Organisation PS I am also Irish so lets not have any comments about me being Anti Irish Long may Israel Exist
83. i just don't get it
nancy ,   PA USA   (01.12.09)
why does iIrael absolutely refuse to cooperate, even with allies?! first step is delusion and second is denial. rogue nation is usually the term that comes to mind when states do not allow others to observe their actions freely. and when they think they are right while the entire world is wrong. why should we believe all the reports coming out of Israel? Why are you scared of allowing UN officials, one who is a Jew and American, to inspect?/ Please work with the world, Israel, work with us! You will have none left to defend you, how dare you criticize the US council on HUMAN RIGHTS when it is such an organisation that gave you the right to exist! Do you know you just used the same argument that terrorist groups use to justify their denial of the US inspections "it has nothing to do with human rights"...but history has shown otherwise...
84. Inspectors
John Williams ,   Ogden USA   (03.20.09)
I thought it was only Iran that was not allowing inspectors in.
