31. #21: What about Israeli religious fanatics?
Zyriab ,   Montréal   (01.15.09)
Why don't you mention Israeli religious fanatics who raise their children to hate Arabs ? They are not better than Hamas. All of you here , you try to twist the facts & make it sound as if it was a religion issue, whereas the core of the problem is people, the Palestinian people, who are fighting for their land, for their right to live.
32. "Grave Mistake"
NYC Girl   (01.15.09)
According to the article, an investigation has yet to be conducted. That being the case, why has Barak already taken responsibility? Even if this turns out to be a premature apology (as in the Mohammed al-Dura affair), the IDF will never be vindicated. The media has already made up its mind as to what happened.
33. UNRWA funds
Fabio ,   Rome, Italy   (01.15.09)
As European I feel ashamed of my government to finance UNRWA and UN, whose only task is to back terror and teach hatred. I can't understand the reason why all other refugees in the world haven't got an 'ad hoc' agency like palestinians have...
34. When the UN compound in New York City is blasted, that
(01.15.09)
will force the UN to get the hell out of America since there is no money to build another one. But the Islamics won't do that because the UN is an Islamic rug sucker.
35. To John #1
I agree ,   Nablus   (01.15.09)
It is amazing my friend!! Most talkbackers didnt even bother claiming either "a" or "b" of your comment. They just expressed their joy and asked for more the same. Some even included a happy face, like #24. I wonder what would become of us (the gentiles) if we dared to talkback in a similar way about a kid drawing a swastika on a jewish tombstone in France ?? Spread the word in Dublin...!!!
36. U.N. = Useless Non-entities.
Jerry Field ,   UK   (01.15.09)
Who cares about the UN anyway? I don't want "innocents" to be injured/killed but come on...the UN is a waste of space nowadays and gets in the way. Moreover it lets itself be used by terrorists as a useful tool in the propoganda war. It is a defunct organisation. The laws of war a re out of date as they don't have provision for what to do when terrorists like Hamas ignore them.
37. I mourn any civilian casualties
yaron   (01.15.09)
I am sorry for any civilian casualties but at the same time this is a war and accidents happen. The UN compound will be rebuilt inshaalla but god willing the war will continue and hamas will be defeated forever.
38. Who speaks for UN
Jackie ,   Florida   (01.15.09)
Has anyone ever named the people who are speaking for the UN within Gaza. I am willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that they all have Arab names. Not exactly the most impartial of witnesses
39. Israel Now Hated by Entire World
Jerry ,   NYC, USA   (01.15.09)
Israel's murderous rampage has been duly noted by the entire world. Israel will be paying a terrible price for years to come. No peace.
40. Poor Israel
Libyan Guy ,   Italy   (01.15.09)
after almost 20 days after mass distruction, they are not able to stop the hand made rockets raining on thir citizens, yet they bombed the school where chilren & women were killed and now once again another mistake ... i understand that non of your targets have been achived but keeping the media out, continuing the butchering of children and women will make ISrael lose any good case in this war, they are just sick ...

42. As a European
john   (01.15.09)
i am proud that my government finances the UN and UNRWA. hell holds a special place for livni, barak, olmert and ashkenazi
43. # 16 Brutality / Mumbai
Jan ,   The Netherlands   (01.15.09)
Zyriab, you stated in 6: unbelievable brutality, the IDF has gone mad.... My response is: Who are Mad? Who are brutal? To point you to Mumbai is to show you that not the IDF is made and brutal, but those TERRORISTS who murderd in Mumbai. The hamas has the same MAD ideoligy as those killers in Mumbai (TO KILL!) The shelling of a UN VN building is because there are terrorists. The UN is hostage by hezbollah and hamas. The hamas is hiding itself behind children, the IDF is protecting there children. So please wake up, and dont justify TERROR!!!!
44. UN in gaza
solomon ,   swiss   (01.15.09)
Years back one of the Professors said while discussing Gaza and Palestinian issue in general, He said the UN is the reason why the Palestinian issue is still not solved. He said that the UN should close down all its operation in Gaza no aid no schools no refugee camps and let the people in Gaza and west bank take on their responsibility to provide food & shelter for their offspring you'll see how fast the Palestinian problem is solved by itself
45. and one more thing 27 for you!!!
israeli ,   sderot   (01.15.09)
and if it's not enough you i wish that one of your family will be killd and than you will feel wat that i feel and i am sure that your opinion will be change vvvveeeerrryyyy vvvveeerrryyyy ffffaaassstttt!!!!! have a nice day !!!
46. Hamas should do the decent thing and surrender
Talula ,   Israel   (01.15.09)
This will save lives. No-one can say they didn't give it a shot. But they failed. And now it's time to put the Palestinian people before their egos.
47. ALL AGAINST ISRAEL = BRAINWASHED BY MEDIA!
TEXAS LOVES ISRAEL!   (01.15.09)
48. Israel digging it's grave by it's hand
(01.15.09)
The end is near
49. UN should kick out the Hamas leaders hiding in its building!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (01.15.09)
Same goes for the Red Cross and other Gaza Hospitals. They are all moaning while they harbor, hide and protect armed terrorists with blood on their hands. Nobody is complaining when the UN/Red Cross etc. ambulances carry terrorists, explosives, ammunitions and weapons (including rockets fired at Israeli civilians). Nobody is complaining when convoys with food, medicine and other supplies are routinely HIJACKED by armed terrorists who are preventing it from reaching the Palestinian population! Let's drop the facade and crocodile tears - UN, the Red Cross and other "Human Right" organizations operating in Gaza, just like some journalists are ACTIVE COLLABORATORS WITH THE HAMAS AND PALESTINIAN TERROR ORGANIZATIONS. Mr. Ban can express his outrage and revolt, but if he ifaces real hard facts, he should actually APOLOGIZE! UN, Red Cross and all the Islamo-Anarchists worldwide: you cannot break our spirit. Your rabid racism and hatred won't prevail. You are destined to live in fear consumed by hatred and without the possibility of building a future for yourselves. Israel and the REAL civilized world will prevail. You are destined to be remembered as the scourge of the 20th and 21st century.
50. to 32 this is my answer!!!!
israeli ,   sderot   (01.15.09)

51. Talula: In your wildest dreams...
Zyriab ,   Montréal   (01.15.09)
Palestinians, whether Hamas devotees or not, have learnt their lesson hard over the last 60yrs... If you think that they will let go easily this time round, then , you are dreaming...
52. Livni and Olmert election campaign
Ed ,   Melbourne   (01.15.09)
Is this what it is? this mass murder? I have got some maps..one shows what the UN designated as Israel, and one shows what was stolen from Palestine over 70 years. Hmm. I guess it shows why the IDF don't mind bombing the UN buildings as well..no respect for the world representative body.
53. To #39 Jerry NYC without the WTC
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (01.15.09)
I think you should have a look at this link before opening you big mouth again. The Washington Post October 29, 2004: 100,000 Civilian Deaths Estimated in Iraq http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A7967-2004Oct28.html A report on FOXNews this morning (Israel time) pointed out that 6,000 Iraqi civilains were killed by US forces in Fallujah and the USA was NEVER attacked by Iraq! People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones! As for hating Israel, well, that's nothing new. Those who hate Israel will continue doing so. Our PR is bad they say. No, its not, your cannot sell what others wont buy. An RTL TV reporter, live on Israel Channel 2 TV, tried to report on a bomb that had fallen on Sderot. The station anchor cut her off! He only wanted to hear about Gaza ans what is has done to the the "innocent" civilians there. Innocent civilians who could throw Hamas out but actually support the terrorists. The true picture will come out in then end but Israel will never win because we don't have oil and "the blame the Jews for everything" attitude of the world! What the world fails to realize is that Hamas doesn't want hundreds dead. They want thousands to die so Israel can be condemned and the fire of hatred can be fanned. I wouldn't be in the least surprised if half the dead civilians were murdered by Hamas! Darfur, Zimbabwe and oh so many real human rights violations but its much easier to blame Israel and the Jews!
54. To #49: Why kick your own people out?
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (01.15.09)
The UN in Gaza is aligned and allied with Hamas probably as instructed by UN Headquarters in New York! Just think how many jobs for friends Hamas is creating for the UN. Its not only in Israel that the jobs for friends thing happens. Look at Kofie Annan and his son a while ago! Maybe Moon has a few stars there!
55. A MUST READ.............
Zemel ,   Boro Park USA   (01.15.09)
Question #1 Ban said he has expressed "strong protest and outrage" to Israel over the shelling Does he mean HAmas shelling of Israeli kindergartens? Question #2 and demanded an investigation into the incident. Which one of the 1000 rocket attacks against Israel? Question #3 He said Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak has told him it was a "grave mistake." I hope he means a grave mistake for not bombing all UN=Hamas buildings and turning them into a GRAVE
56. IAF = Cowards
Micahel ,   Danmark   (01.15.09)
This action is more cowardly then hamases rockets.
57. #48: Yes indeed. Israel's image will never be the same again
Zyriab ,   Montréal   (01.15.09)
Yes, We have to the thank the leaders of Israel Olmert, Barak & Levni for succeeding in showing the true colours of Israel... Israel wil not survive , even if it had to raze Gaza this time.
58. Is there any decent people in Israel?
oscar ,   buenos aires   (01.15.09)
I can´t believe the bunch of hypocrites, liars, cynics, fanatics and simply murderers that write in these talkbacks. Chosen people: by god or demon?
59. #16
Knightarm ,   New York, USA   (01.15.09)
Hey canadian (I doubt it), Try living with over 60 years of having to win wars and conflicts and justifying your existence because some people refuse to acknowledge you, or worse refuse to accept you, or worse have the single goal of eliminating you. Wait a minute, that's not just the last 60 years. That's been true for Jews for over two thousand years. Now do you get it?? Tell all your friends that the Jews are very serious when they shout: "NEVER AGAIN!!!" "NEVER EVER AGAIN!!!"
60. THEY SHOT AT OUR TROOPS FROM THE BUILDING USED AS STORAGE
SERGIO ,   ISRAEL   (01.15.09)
FOR MISSILES!
