1. UN Investigation
Avraham ,   Israel   (02.10.09)
How come the UN has not investigated Hamas or any other terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip for repeatedly violating 'human rights' by firing rockets into the civilian populations of Israel over the years?
2. I guess we're assuming Hamas will also be reviewed, right??
Mike Levin ,   TA, Israel   (02.10.09)
How about taking a nice hard look at your worthless UNWRA, which hires terrorists and continues a ridiculous cycle of ensuring that the Palestinians will remain refugees. Or are you just going to assume, like B'tselem, that they are so obviously bad, that they don't need review. For once, try being part of the solution UN, instead of the problem.
3. Ban should be banned
Shalom   (02.10.09)
The guy is a moron. How stupid can a person be. In all instances, Israel acted in the most humane way possible to save lives, while trying to defend its borders. Mr Ban, I invite you to ask your neighbors to send over kassems, grad missiles, shots etc on a daily basis for a few years, using your garage as their base, and then see if you change your mind.
4. Lets pray that Israel's next PM
American Jew   (02.10.09)
will not fold under pressure from the "international community" of Jew-haters.
5. Expand Investigation Mr. Ban
Cynthia ,   USA   (02.10.09)
Investigate the UN for allowing terrorists to use UNWRA ambulances to transport terrorists. For allowing Hamas to steal UNWRA supplies. For allowing terrorists to fire rockets from UN operated schools. For not convening a Security Council meeting to address and stop the brutal attacks by Hamas on civilian populations of Israel with over 3000 kassams and bombs in 2008. For standing by passively while Iran threatened to destroy Israel and armed Hamas for this purpose.
6. Ban- another useless paid UN official
Spencer ,   Israel   (02.10.09)
Ban has no idea what the real job of that useless organisation called the UN should be. He's just another bloddy anti Jewish and anti Semite. Whatever the truth is (and we all know what the real truth is) Ban will continue to bow and scrape to the tune of the terrorists. Nothing has changed.......why has there NEVER been an enquiry into the actions of Hamas and other related terrorist organisations? I'll tell you why...because when Jews (innocent woman and children included) are targeted that is not considered unfair, but when eventually the Jews decide to retaliate the whole world (with very few exceptions) cries "off-side". To hell with Ban and his useless organisation.
7. UN: disgusting, useless, biased , pathetic
Nudnik   (02.10.09)
WASTE OF EVERYBODY'S TIME & MONEY. Now you know how I really feel.
8. No doubt the investigators will be those that allowed rocket
rebecca ,   modiin   (02.10.09)
to be fired from the UN buildings. They are such UN unbiased people we could trust them with Gaza's life.
9. 4 Don't need to wonder why the Int. community
lydia ,   Brisbane   (02.10.09)
hates and despise jews because you already know.
10. 1300 Palestinians dead 13jews dead half from
lydia ,   Brisbane   (02.10.09)
friendly IOF fire. Gaza is bombed the citizens terrorized and you think the cruel and unusual punishment inflected on the Palestinians ie cluster bombs and white phosphorus, shooting unarmed civilians etc should overlooked by the UN. What Planet are you living on. Wouldn't swap places with you for quids!
11. Ban
Shimon   (02.10.09)
I would say that BAN the UN. They are Anti Israel and show no legencies to the only democratic country in the region. When will they take the blinds of there eyes. One doesn't have to be blind to see the way the Isralies ave been treated by the Hamas, PA. Hezboulah. I find it incredible that countries throughout the world like Iran, N.Korea. China. Parts of Africa, Zimbabwe, Iraq, and many other countires treat there habitants like dirt and will not allow anyone to determine the truth, yet the UN and Ban has the audactity and cheek to demand Israel to answer and challange the rights to defend their citizans. How low can the world get if that is all the UK have time for regardless to the waste of money which could be put to much better use. I SAY "BAN, BAN AND THE UN. They are not worth the bother.
12. boo hoo lydia
American Jew   (02.10.09)
I am soooo sorry there weren't more dead Jews. Maybe we should bring back human sacrifice and start killing our own citizens, and then you will start to like us.
13. Why Israel is afraid from UN inquiry?
Observer ,   DE   (02.10.09)
This fear means that something wrong has been done by Israel in Gaza, because no innocent would be afraid from justice!
14. #12: At least she's taking a break from killing Aborigines
Global Citizen ,   Israel & USA   (02.10.09)
15. Observer #13 look at who is running the investigation
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (02.10.09)
AI is hardly a neutral. They have lied so many times and totally ignore the facts that it isn't funny. I have a different person for the job. Irwin Colter. He is a MP of the Liberal Party in Canada, former Justice Minister, Law Professor MacGill University, defending attorney of Nelson Mandela. That would be a suitable investigator.
16. Amnesty Int'l Past leader? Forget this report--BIASED!
Mea   (02.10.09)
You're going to tell us that in the entire world no one could be found who does not have filth on his/her hands? Come on, forget any member who was once involved in AI, a group making great amounts of contributions off the sorriful playact stories on 24/7 PAL suffering and never a story on Sderot. Same as HRW, which is another so called NGO --these groups feature the conflict in order to gain contributions. Yet they don't even report on SriLanka. Why? Brit and Leftist Americans don't get charged up about them and send $$, that's why!
17. #10, Lydia...are you for real?
DR ,   Florida, USA   (02.10.09)
Do you want Israel to lay down and die? Do you want the IDF to sit back and watch rockets fall on Israeli civilians? What would Australia do if rockets fell on her? Nothing? You are insane lydia...that or so full of hate. Is this how you were brought up?
18. #17 DR
Marco ,   Spain   (02.10.09)
Lydia is for real. The question is are you?
19. I guess ban ki loon is another waldheim
jason white ,   afula,israel   (02.10.09)
Keep this anti Zionist and his u.n. out of Israel. Also cut off gaza from all aid supplies.
20. #18, Marco...great post!
DR ,   Florida, USA   (02.10.09)
you really showed all of us how brilliant you are marco! Now lets go over the facts again... Hamas is a terror group, sworn to kill every last Jew on earth, yet you feel that Israel is the villain here. Again, really says a lot about the type of person you are...are you sure your name is not Abdul?
21. 18# Im waiting for Euarbia
Daniel ,   Isarel   (02.10.09)
I'll just sit here in Israel(in hope it won't happen here either) and watch you crying after Islam takes over Europe(approx. in 20 years when there will be 50/50 that would be enough). And you'll tell us from the basemant what its like to live under sharia laws. Good luck
