1. Israel
Libyan Guy ,   Italy   (01.15.09)
when are you going to learn how to behaive like humans and not like holy chosen ones ?! why do you say lies ? didn't you kill enough in the Jabaliya school with the same claim and then you simply said it was a mistake ? i wonder if all the innocents that were killed would have been Jews, what would have been the reaction of the world ? How do you expect to have peace with the nations around you ? on arab children broken bones ? Israel is really a sick nation still fearing its past but it seasm that history will repeat its self ... Israel really suxs.
2. Olmert's apology
Joe ,   Israel   (01.15.09)
Olmert is an idiot. Apology my foot. Why has the UN allowed Hamas to station its terrorist gangs in the UN facility in the first place? It is the UN that should be apologizing to Israel.
3. responce
colin   (01.15.09)
What the hell is the corrupt Olmert apologising to the anti Israel UN Ban.Had he been there he would allow the hamas to shoot at him with no responec??????
4. UNWRA compound
Shula ,   California   (01.15.09)
Hamas has no shame. They keep using their own citizens as human shields and in the process try to make Israel look bad. People of Gaza, do not allow Hamas to destroy your aspirations and your future!
5. UN headquarters in New York should be next.
David Powell ,   Everett, Wa. DPRSSA   (01.15.09)
No need to apologize to the Moon for hitting the UNWRA in Gaza when Israeli troops are being fired upon. They should be fair game. The UN headquarters in New York City should be next. Oh by the way the messiah is coming through the clouds over Washington DC at 12:00 noon to work his miracles in the Democratic Peoples Republic of Socialist States of America
6. KI-MOON HAS NO MORAL AUTHORITY IN THIS WAR...
stude ham   (01.15.09)
Ki-moon never once demanded that hamas halt its nazi style V2 rocket bombings of anyhting in Israel. Israel has finally blown its top with some well derved punches into the hamas solar plexus. as for the UN in all this... they must pay the price, like anyone else, for standing in the way of the advancing army.
7. UN is the enemy
smerfer   (01.15.09)
the UN is a problem and needs to be snuffed out of gaza. they enable the arabs to live and produce fighters from pregnent women who are feed by UN supplies. those little boys grow up learning to kill israelis. they must all be slaughtered. stop kissing up to the UN and kick their asses and tell them to get out. I would say slice them up and put them on the BBQ but what then feed them to the arabs. that would be dumb. the arabs in gaza must be knocked off, or sent to egypt. all i hear is this soft talking crap by people writing here and all the soft BS talk in the news about some cease fire. if israel wants to have peace they need to finish the war by having the enemy beg for mercy and present its arms in the city center. it is crazy to ask egypt to be involved. israel needs to shell and bomb the arabs unitl they are dead or surrender unconditionally.
8. No apology given, just the facts
Coke ,   US   (01.15.09)
Neither Olmert norBarak apologized for the bombing of the UNWRA facility. Rather they said it was unfortunate they had to do that since Hamas shooting from near there and IDF has right to defend itself, and thus the responsibility is on Hamasfor one more endangering civilians. I diplomatic firm response meaning: not my fault kish mere in tuchas. Guessing as IDf has camera guys the proof will come out later for public dispersal to refute UN EU etc spurious claims of 'war crimes' showing UNWRA etc as liars and fools and war criminals
9. Was the place full of food and medicin?
sanna ,   sweden   (01.15.09)
Isn´t strange that there can be so much aid inside UNWRA:s building, when it´s always an humenitarian crise in Gaza - always no food an so on? Just a reflection!
10. Gaza war results from lack of security control
Chrisona ,   Chicago.IL   (01.15.09)
Okay, the terrorists need to know that Israel is calling them out on their corrupt, contemptible use of human shields. The other horn of the dilemma is that the whole war is a PR disaster for Israel. The terrorists know that too. Bottom line, Israel must establish and maintain security control of the territories in order to prevent these wars from happening in the first place.
11. #1 where were are you when Israel is savagely bombed
rachel ,   usa   (01.15.09)
by suicide bombers and rockets? distributing candy ,I suppose ...Pleas don't speak of peace ....we had enough of your bull .....peace for you is killing jews....
12. #1
jb ,   Canada   (01.15.09)
You are really #2! FOAD
13. if the un can't be bothered to police its own buildings?
yahn goodey   (01.15.09)
when the hamas supporters move in to fire anti-tank rockets from it at the idf then i can't understand why the un personel there would not expect return fire? what kind of geniuses does the un hire these days?
14. For once the pic is telling the whole story
Israeli   (01.15.09)
15. UN
alan ,   texas   (01.15.09)
The UN sponsors and enables terrorism, and we pay the bills..
16. Hamas it's time to surrender!
Chad ,   USA   (01.15.09)
This is all a direct result of Hamas and it's foolish stubbornness. This is war and these sort of situations are to be expected. What the world has to do is pressure Hamas to give up, thus allowing the Palestinian people to have a future, a future that they can determine, renounce vialence and live, or fight on and die. Plain and simple.
17. #1 Libyan Guy! Coming from you, everything is a blessing!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israer   (01.15.09)
When we see animals like you hopping mad, we KNOW we are doing the right thing, so we keep on doing it. No amunt of lies, disinformation, manipulation and fabrication won't work - as wars, terrors and katyushas did not break our spirit. You see, we have nowhere to go so we stay and fight for our ancestral home and way of life. And we reach peace with anybody who wants peace. We've proven that already. We don't make peace with those who come to wipe us off the map. And Hamas and the Palestinians have never hid their plans and desire to destroy us. And if anybody comse close to destroying us, then .... watch what happened to Hezbollah two years ago, what happens to Hamas terrorists now and what will happen to your mad friend from Teheran! YOU on the other hand, have where to go - you see, you went to Italy. You left your pathetic Libyan desert hole and went to live among Catholics - the same people who conducted Crusades against your kind! It is like me moving to live in Saudi Arabia! What a comic turn of events! What a pathetic joke you are!
18. Apology
Byron ,   USA   (01.15.09)
Here is a quote from Olmert that the AP news report: "It is absolutely true that we were attacked from that place, but the consequences are very sad and we apologize for it," he said. "I don't think it should have happened and I'm very sorry." What a fool if he did apologize.
19. I am sorry that HAMAS attacked us from the School and I had
meir elazar   (01.15.09)
to return fre to kill the terrorist who were in a school and shooting from behind human shields.
20. To Lybian guy
Kidon 77   (01.15.09)
Quite odd to hear a lybian lecture us. Did you forget Lockerbie, UTA plane bombings or did you need some other acts of glory mad eby your services to remind you what is your morality. People living in glass houses shouldn't throw stones
21. #2 YOU'RE RIGHT EXCEPT CORRECTION.IT SHOULD BE ''MY TUCHUS''
..............DACON9   (01.15.09)
22. UN = protect terrorists
BEN ,   Monroe USA   (01.15.09)
The UN has accepted it's role as defender of the indefensible. As such, it's leadership is as honorable and believable as Hamas.
23. You are Blind by EGO
anita ,   citizen of the world   (01.15.09)
do you know what the solar plexus is. You are a brain washed sick puppy?You have no moral authority sir. As does your govt. Too right ring. You talk Nazi.Look at your govt. Look at how the whole world is reacting. Even your own people. They are desensitizing your population. You are blind by ego.
24. When 2 Idiots meet, rubbish is the by product
Zohan ,   Tel Aviv   (01.15.09)
First of all, Hamas has been begging to be attacked by firing rockets into Israel. They are the ones who complained that life is too long and they want their virgins badly. So, Israel is just doing them a favor
25. UN HQ in Gaza United Nations Hamas Quarters
Botafotonisso ,   RJ BR   (01.15.09)
UN officials are too hysterical. They are afraid their protegee Hamas comes to be deadly hit. UN is breeding terrorists in Gaza!
26. Kadima is constraining the IDF toward defeat
Ran   (01.15.09)
Rockets haven't stopped because the IDF is constrained by humanitarian concerns toward the Arabs - however, there are few such humanitarian concerns toward the Jews of Beer-Sheva. Olmert, Livni, Barak and the rest are just not good enough - they are weaklings, incompetent weaklings.
27. #1 Ha! We ARE the chosen ones & we will continue to stop the
UNCHOSEN ones.Get ,   a clue you loser!!!   (01.15.09)
28. Is that what Judaism preaches???
Dave Wilson ,   usa   (01.15.09)
Baby killing.......
29. #17 Holy chosen one speaks
Libyan Guy ,   Italy   (01.15.09)
thank you for calling me an animal, it shows really how the holy chosen one express their opinion when they hear stuff that is not in line with their idiology, most appreciated and i exchange the same to you. Israel is a mistake and don't worry, like it or not, time will come and it will be in vain. you get what you give and if you give peace then remember that Rabin was killed by a taliban Jew and that was the begining and here you are, with the dream of the great holy ISrael but small gangs of terrorists as you call them are putting in stake your mighty Tsahal and much more to come with next generation of arab chilren that remained orphans thanks to your democratic country. Italy is my country as much as Libya because i'm mixed blooded you idiot and much more intelligent due that and much more because i grew up in a mixed family, with different cultures and religion, not like you in a closed box knocking like a chiken when visiting your holy wall, having your mental illness becasue your people never mixed with the rest of the world, obviously they are the chiosen ones and your blood is blue, don't worry, muslims and christians are getting along very well but you my dear are in deep trouble and you will live in fear becasue animals like us will be around all the time, pathtic morally sick Jew that you are in your holy hole of Israel. lrean how to talk wiht others and respect them if you don't want you ass to get kicked and dont forget to take of your jewish cap when going outside israel because i italy they will screew your brain wiht it !!!
30. May the Lord...
Philip ,   AL, USA   (01.16.09)
I pray that Irael's leaders would seek God for his will in this war as did King David, His annointed, many years ago. Cleave to the Lord God. Love Him with all your heart, strength, soul, and mind and He will do justly. Do not forget the Lord's sovreignty over all the earth. He is holy and just; a deliverer and a judge. May the God of Israel guide and bless His faithful according to His Word. Joshua 23:10-11 "One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you. Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God."
