1. UN = terror org. just ignore them thats it.
norman ,   southbend usa   (01.06.09)
2. UN - put up or shutup
A Jew Forever ,   USA   (01.06.09)
Shut down UNWRA now! In the meantime - all together now--- NO CEASEFIRE!
3. Israel's response should be proportionate
Chonny ,   Colorado, US   (01.06.09)
For ever Kassam or Grad Hamas has ever launched, Israel should fire back a Hellfire missile with an occasional bunker-buster thrown in. Sounds fair to me...
4. Bombing UNWRA School
Turc ,   Brunoy, France   (01.06.09)
This bombing is a shame, and killing 40 people a slaughter. If there were actually a Hamas'mortar, and if Tsahal has a video as proof, it could have been enough to file a suit before UN. Why have taken the risk to kill 40 civilians, and to wound much more ? Was there a so strategic target to justify that bombing ? By using blindly its weapons, Tsahal takes the risk of the international resentment. That does not strengthen Israel' moral weight.
5. Missed target
Moshe ,   Nice (France)   (01.06.09)
Sorry to see these children killed due to these inhumans hamas terrorist. Sometime i'm wondering if such a missfire can reach this blue building next to east side river in NY ?
6. who in thier right mind
gaile mclean ,   cairns australia   (01.07.09)
Who of sound mine would send their children to school in the middle of a war zone. Sounds like Hamas rounded the children up and made them go knowing that this would happen if they were launching mortar attacks from the school. Don.t let up on them Israel
7. Turc yet again you show your stupid side
Mike ,   Israel   (01.07.09)
Why dont you ask Hamas why there are firing motars from the school, why dont you scream at Hamas for hiding under the UN as the Hezbula did 2 years ago. Israel has every right to shoot back no matter where they fire is coming from even if it comes from France. GO ISRAEL GO
8. Drag Ban Ki Moon to the Criminal Court now and charge him ..
Cowboy Joe ,   Calgary, Canada   (01.06.09)
with war crimes!
9. to: #4 Alain - Israel has more than enough moral weight
Louise ,   USA   (01.07.09)
Now it is you that will decide when Israelis are being fired on they CANNOT fire back! because civilians may be there. No! The (not so brave) Hamas should not launch mortars from among their own citizens. Hamas and apologists like you are morally sickening. Israel is in a war of defense and you dare to decide for Israel that it should be filing lawsuits rather than taking out Hamas mortars shot at them!?
10. UN is going to pay for refuging them. Please!, do
observer   (01.07.09)
11. "Mun_Key Moon" from UN should be sent home
Janet Keno ,   Baltimore   (01.07.09)
12. UN's always been an enemy os Israel
Flavio ,   Sao Paulo, Brazil   (01.07.09)
The last time the UN acted with a mininum of impartiality towards Israel was also the first - the partition of British Palestine, in 1947. Since then, it's been siding with the worst enemies of the Jewish state, blaming Israel for everything bad that happens and deeming Palestinians as poor, inocent, always the victims. Remembering the infamous vote 'sionism = racism', back in 1975, and the Durban conference on racism, is enough to prove the point - not to mention the UN envoys to the Middle East, is seems that the organization chooses it personnel based on anti-semitic, anti-Israel bias: the more rabid, the better qualified the candidate!
13. Do it. For once, put the UN on the defensive.
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (01.07.09)
It's time Israel stopped acting like a punching bag. Don't be a wuss. The UN has a lot to answer for.
14. what else Israel would have done?
observer   (01.07.09)
15. must be done
Ari   (01.07.09)
the video of hamas using the school as an area from which to shoot from must be relentlessly publicized, and israel should file not only a complaint, but a lawsuit or some high profile legal action. even though it is ridiculous to file such a thing and a waste of time in any ordinary period of time, attention will be drawn to the facts behind the lawsuit - that hamas used a school as a place to hide, and the fact that a complaint was filed will put it as a 'fait accompli' that it is a 'warcrime'.
16. UN the tool of the OIC
Eric Green ,   Montreal, CDN   (01.07.09)
Pay it no heed, Olmert-Livni-Barak. Keep the pressure on Hamas to maximize likelihood of a lengthy hudna. Do not forebear!
17. Why Is Israel Still In the UN???
MK ,   Philadelphia USA   (01.07.09)
How dumb is Israel in choosing to remain in an organization whose supreme goal is the destruction of the nation? How dumb are Israeli politicians to stay in this Utopian Nightmare? And, this idea that Israel is trying to sell, that the civilians in Gaza are being "held hostage" by Hamas, is one of the stupidest ideas I've ever heard in my life. EVER!!!! Those "civilians" voted for Hamas and chose all-out war with Israel. To call them hostages of the government they chose is idiotic. Any Israeli politician or government employee who pushes this sort of nonsense should be removed immediately. I cannot believe the stupidity.
18. Well Done ISRAEL !
Jonathan   (01.07.09)
El El Israel. Please continue to invest in our educational campaign. Jonathan
19. Turc
Ben ,   Monroe USA   (01.07.09)
Turn the other cheek Turc as long as Israel is the target. BS. You shoot me I shoot at you. You use schoolchildren in schools as shields and don't give a damn if they are hurt or killed, but I the recipient of your weaponry must protect them. You have a warped sense of right and wrong. Blindly using weapons, now that is the norm for your terrorist buddies. You lived in Vichy in WWII??
20. What for?
David ,   Zichron Yaacov, IL   (01.07.09)
The UN behaves like an asylum that's being run run by the inmates. Why bother to file a complaint? Let's ignore this assembly of failures and move on. (e.g. After the Entebbe hostage-rescue mission Uganda filed an UN complaint against Israel for violating Uganda's airspace and sovereignty, which was lauded by then UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim. 'nuff said.)
21. Israel = 1 complaint , Arab states = 100x complaints a day
Donna ,   TX   (01.07.09)
22. Dear UN, We invaded and killed people. Not fair.
Rachel ,   Florida   (01.07.09)
Wow.
23. #4, Turc, are you serious???????
David ,   Boston, USA   (01.07.09)
If someone has a gun aimed at you and nowhere to go are you going to the police after he shoots you and hope you dont die or shoot him with the gun you have. This is war. Your attitude is why Eurabia is doomed. its why anti-semitism spreads in Europe. Why arent you complaining about Hamas and the war crime they committed at the UN school or the UN people for allowing them to fire and store weapons there. Eurabia has no morals. UN has no morals. I have alot more respect for IDF attempting to help protect civilians, but this is war. Civilians die. I hope few, but the world could have prevented the war by citicizing Hamas and its war crimes against Israeli cities. Not wait until Israel responded. The world bodies have no moral standing in this. I pray for Israel, all civilians and the utter destruction of the Hamas cancer.
24. What about indications that IDF is collecting people in
jack   (01.07.09)
houses and the like, then blowing up the houses that the people are being forced to stay in? It seems hard to believe, but the Samouni family appears to have been collected into a house which was then blown up killing up to 60 people. If it is true that some of the people in the UN School had been moved (via those humanitarian notices) to the school, and then it was blown up, Israel is clearly masacering the population in GAZA. Is any of it true? We havve no way of knowing without independent news media, but I suspect that the international media is being kept out because the IDF is engaged in indiscriminant fire, and collecting civilians in houses which they then blow up. (Brave soliders indeed!)
25. Yes, make the video immediately available for all to see
Vered, Israel   (01.07.09)
This time, due to our improved PR efforts, we are winning the battle of perception by all but idealogues. This footage needs to be formally submitted to the UN, and all over FoxNews.
