3. To Mrs Livni
Truthwar ,   Lebanon   (01.09.09)
You are a woman. You are a mother. Please, please, remember your divine feminity and act only according to your heart. Remember your children when they were babies, how much you cared for them, your soul would be moved if they got hurt in any way. Mrs. Livni, Please be a MOTHER to Israel, not another warrior.

8. Stupid
robert barrett ,   fort smith ark usa   (01.09.09)
I am very disappointed in President Bush for not vetoing that stupid U.N. Resolution. He needs to gets some guts and tell Rice to shut up and and back down. It is obvious Rice is letting her femaile emotions cloud her judgement against common sense. Common sense says Israel will never stop the rockets until Hamas is taken out of the picture. Stopping now will just prolong the same old thing, more rockets, more rockets and more rockets against innocent Israel citizens.
9. What a joke!
Sammy ,   Tel Aviv   (01.09.09)
Hamas refuses to be bound by the UN resolution and they expect us to roll over and play dead? No way, we learned our lesson from 1701 in Lebanon, we learned our lesson from Samir Kuntar, forget it. First Gilad Shalit, then we take over the Philadelphi route, then we flood or otherwise destroy all the tunnels, then we talk. Maybe. And don't be surprised if the next time Haniya and the rest of the gang surface, it is in some country far away with the entire Hamas treasury.
10. ARAB TERRORISTS CANT HIDE BEHIND UN ANYMORE!
UN MEANS NOTHING!   (01.09.09)
11. If the same situation was happening in Africa...
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem Israel   (01.09.09)
...the UN wouldn't even give it 2 minutes of attention. Remember Rwanda, Congo, Somalia... How many tens of thousands of people had to die in those countries before the UN would even acknowledge there was a problem? 600 people dead after 2 weeks of war with type of weaponry that we have against the primitive weaponry that the Hamas has only shows how much responsibility we've demonstrated. No other country can say the same for it self. If Israel is really the "bad guy" wouldn't we have destroyed them completely by now? The UN is an accomplice to terrorism and should be on trial for corruption and "peace crimes".
12. THE UN blew it and so did Rice
alan ,   alaskan   (01.09.09)
Here ISrael is out front battling terrorists and the admin of George Bush who promised not to allow any state to shelter terrrorists turns a deaf eye to this resolution which allows a terrorist state to stand side by side in war with Israel. Here is the UN and the racism of the Europeans at their worst supporting terrorism for fear it will be a cold winter without arabian crude. How pathetic for those who dirtied their hands passing this resolution.
13. Mrs. Livni ...
Libyan Guy ,   Italy   (01.09.09)
this is the 75th resolution that has been issued to solve the arab-Israeli confliect. Is Israel willing to respect the previoues ones first and then come and talk about htis one also ? It seams that your democratic country gaves a crap to the international comunity as your holy chosen people are above the law. Kill all the childen and have all my aprpeciation for creating a whole new generation of Jew hatesres around the world ... but don't feel victomized and try to be less arrogant and aggresive. STOP THE KILLING OF ARAB CHILDREN
14. Open the Crossings and Suicide Bombers will pour In!
ASM ,   Australia   (01.09.09)
And it would be suicide for Israel to stop now!! It is impossible to communicate with the Jihadists - all they understand is death and destruction. And the UN supports them! I'll bet Jimmy Carter is feeling pleased with his Hamas confederates! Israel Stand Firm!
15. VOTE for israel : link inside
doobi   (01.09.09)
http://www.ask500people.com/questions/who-is-guilty- Hamas is guilty !!
16. It's In Israel's Interest To LEAVE The UN
MK ,   Philadelphia USA   (01.09.09)
Anything less harms Israel. And Israel shouldn't be so worried about leaving that rotten organization. Switzerland is also not a member. Without Israel to beat up on, the UN has no purpose left for it, as the great bulk of UN Security Council resolutions over the decades have been about nothing but hammering Israel. The Utopian Nightmare would wither and die ... finally. Anyone who even supports the idea of an empowered, peerless, competitionless entity like the UN is a moron. Plain and simple.
17. UN IS CORRUPT CORRUPT CORRUPT!
UN IS USELESS!   (01.09.09)
18. This will be a one-sided truce.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (01.09.09)
We will be obliged to abide by a ceasefire agreement - not Hamas. Only Israel will be a party to this agreement. The UN does not care if Hamas pays any attention to this agreement. It only applies to Israel. The end result will be another res. 1701 - and Livni, who is a lover of legal documents, will go along just as she did with 1701. The facts on the ground, reality in other words, is besides the point. All our ''peace negotiations'' with Abbas are exactly the same. If it looks good on paper, if the rhetoric is nice, everyone uses the ''correct'' terms, this gov't. will call it an ''achievement'' just as they still call res. 1701 an achievement. The tough talk is just pre-election BS - not a real statement of intent.
19. Israel will lose this war
Yehudi ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (01.09.09)
Hamas is an ideology. You can blow p a building but you can't destroy an ideology unless you kill every single person who holds by that ideology. There are 20 thousand Hamas terrorists. If Israel was to kill tho thousand that would only amount to 10%. Clearly, Israel can only lose this war.
20. Ignore the UN
Neil Turner ,   Watford, UK   (01.09.09)
The UN is no friend of Israel. I pray that Israel ignores this resolution, and finishes the job it started Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that goes with you; He will not fail you, nor forsake you.
21. #3, Truthwar " . . . act only according to your heart."
Outraged Mother.   (01.09.09)
no sweetheart, she (& Israel) will now act ONLY ACCORDING TO BRAINS! BTW, that's a bit rich, siding with those using children as human shields.
22. Livni on UN resolution: We will act only in our interest
ahyar ,   jakarta Indonesia   (01.09.09)
Livni is Most Snobbish woman of the world, she is Blood thirsty and ambitious to be number one. but she never be number one at all because history will write off her. remember, everyone will taste death sooner or later and innocent women and children will ask her responsibility in hereafter why they killed brutally by IDF and Livni
23. Livni agreed to UN demand for 3 hour cease fire each day
Jason ,   sderot, israel   (01.09.09)
This leaves our troops as sitting ducks and hamas fired rockets seriously injuring two of them during this lull. Livni is also a flip flopper. She has said in the past we can't depend on ourselves for security and how she wanted unifil on the philadelphia route, rafah crossing and in gaza. Livni was the mastermind behind leaving the philadelphia route.
24. Pay no respect to the UN...
Kev ,   London   (01.09.09)
...or Israelis WILL die. Stand firm in what you know you have to do.
25. #3 Truthwar She's doing her first job as a mother
Petra ,   usa   (01.09.09)
to keep her children alive and well while Hamas uses children for human shields. Go 'reason' w/ Gaza and their sponsors, Syria and Iran. Israel is110% correct to respond in kind. Did your 'leaders' ( the ones in hiding) really think Israel would remain silent forever? You start a war, be prepared to finish it. GO ISRAEL!
26. #13 Lybian guy
Petra ,   usa   (01.09.09)
did you plead so ernestly for Israeli children when they were being fired on? Na, just the arab kids right? The world is getting hip to how callously Hamas uses their own Gaza kids for shields and warriors. Try to reason w/ Hamas and their state sponsored and paid for terror, Syria and Iran. Two religious nut jobs who don't care how many of them die if it means hurting Israel.
27. # 19 Yehudi really?
Petra ,   usa   (01.09.09)
seems you can't count, Pals seem to be getting the worst of this brawl. Isn't that why they run crying to the Un?( my favorite is of Sinoras tear machine) You can witness what the majority of the folks are saying here. NO! Israel cannot lose and you can NEVER WIN! Keep dreamin' pal
28. #19, Hamas is not an ideology
Sammy ,   Tel Aviv   (01.09.09)
Hamas is not an ideology. Hamas is a terrorist organization. It is an Iranian proxy. If Israel loses the war, learn to speak Farsi, because that is what you will be doing for the rest of your life, and don't bother to steal a pack of cigarettes because they will chop your hand off. Ideologies can be changed or abandoned, not everyone can be that stupid for that long, wait until Hamas lets the Gazans come out of their homes and they will see what is left of their precious Gaza Strip. Hamas will protect the Palestinians by fighting to the last Gazan, and that will certainly be a victory, but for us, not them.
29. #23
Libyan Guy ,   Italy   (01.09.09)
Yes, you are right but the IDF bombed yesterday a UN truck and killed the driver ... no wonder as Israel is worse them a traitor ... they tell you come and then then they shoot you in the head. Bravo IDF ... great morals ... Compliments Livni for your peaceful victomized country ...
30. Gaza war is part of Israel's election campaign
Realist   (01.09.09)
As such, Livni-Olmert-Barak want keep the killing going until they have drawn enough support from the right. Those voters wavering between Likud and Kadima are bought by Olmert and Livni with Palestinian blood! Now imagine for a moment, no Gaza war but Hamas rocket fire, the weeks before national election: Kadima and Labor would shrink by half! It's a war of choice that primarily serves Kadima interests.
