31. like the appointment of richard falk
(04.03.09)
this appointment of A JEW by the un is funny. the un always discovers A JEW that is opposed to israel, is pro palestinian, is indeed biased against israel no matter what it is forced to do for its defense....they always find a JEW to give credence and "unbias" to their "findings". it is as if the un is saying...."see, this is a jew and he himself finds israel committeed the crimes....how can the israelis oppose one of their own..."? this trick has been going on for a long time. the antisemites finding jews amongst the jews that fit their agendas against israel and then turn around and say to the world, see, we are not anti israel or anisemites. after all, we chose a jew to investigate. notice that the agenda the un is giving this JEW is ONLY TO INVESTIGATE THE PALESTINIAN SODE OF THE STORY. so, when this judge says that this investigation is good not only for palestinians but also for israelis, how is it good for israelis if the israeli side will never be also investigated for the palestinians and hamas committing war crimes via their terror against israelis? sounds biased and one sided to me since the total reason for the cast lead operation WAS TO STOP THE HAMAS TERROR, BOMBINGS OF CIVILIANS AND TERRORISING AND KILLING JEWS IN ISRAEL IN THE FOIRST PLACE. is there no cause effect in judgement?
32. It's a sham! It's a sham!
Albert ,   Paris, France   (04.03.09)

daat y ,   jerusalem   (04.03.09)
And why is HAMAS NOT BEING INVESTIGATED?
34. and now the propaganda war begins
tom ,   toronto, canada   (04.03.09)
and now the propaganda war begins, to defeat israel "by whatever means", and with whatever "useful fools" can be had. jimmy carter, george galloway, and now richard goldstone. and the blood libels and pogroms continue...
35. self hating Jew Vs. professional judge
ahmad ,   nablus   (04.03.09)
if the outcome is against the Zionist state and it's crimes, then the man will be called "self-hating Jew :and, maybe, an anti-"Semite"...but, if he vindicates the Zionists then he is a good man and a professional man lol
36. Send this "Jewish" Judge back
usa   (04.03.09)
37. Exactly the opposite, Marco #17
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (04.03.09)
It is done this way, because a Jew in this position would have no other choice but find Israel guilty, otherwise everyone would say "it's just because he's Jewish, never trust Jews to be impartial with Israel".
38. his appointment heavily inter-connected with the
ben ,   singapore   (04.03.09)
heavenly celestial Kofi Anna. That is what it is all about in 2004, he was appointed by the celestial Kofi Anna who is anti-semitic - anti - jewish Volkar Commission that has authority of control over the independant international Committee that investigated the Iraqi scandal. REMEMBER THE OIL FOR EXCHANGE SCANDAL, the ViDEO SCANDAL, ACTUALLY IT IA ALL called MONEY LAUNDERING IN THE UN ! :-) We jews are not STUPID, we have eyes to see ! The dualism between public and private spheres of action has been identified as a key feature of Western, liberal thought but not normative nor fits Israeli liberalism in liberating her own People. Principal of attribution which she campions and defends is actually anti-semetic is a form of international plot an intrusion of the survival of Jews. Human rights jursiprudence Championed by these idiots undeminds Jews and Asian Nation ! It is as though their standings on human right issue has a public and private vision, but it is anti- israeli ideologies. see if they are willing to denounce Islamist Expension Stategic Theories . We know their so called ' HUMAN RIGHT JURISPRUDENCE even promotes Drug Trafficking Barons from the Golden Triangle to the reserved so called international intrusion of human rights movements which is actually also anti- israeli, anti- jewish propagandis norman -clature via anti- Isareli media- communication. See if these had support form al Jazera ? I need not answer that ! You know the answer ! Other wise you are a disgrace to us Jews ! Hina Jelani who is teh sister of Asma Jahangir, now waht were their comment when Benasir was assassinated, why so silent , how silent these human right activist when the Pakistani terrorsit bombed. What comment did the make when the Obroi Hotel was bombed. Remember the Chabad rabbis were murdered. So what drive their silence then an now appointed as juges to judge Israeli People, Big BS these idiots ! As for Colonel Desmond Travers what was he doing during the cold war beteeen Russia and teh USA, Whatt wa she doing in Camp david with Carter along with Yassir Arfat ? The nigerians cant even stop the flow of laundering acrtivities to the point the Bank of England had to appeal to Nigerian Govt. and these fellows who were educated by illegal launderd money which was frequently made legal by trust instruments and account opening and inter- bank transaction want top be advisors of israeli- gaza conflict ? BS !!! ben singapore
39. Where has the UN been for eight years of shelling S'derot??
Rob ,   Ottawa, Canada   (04.03.09)
40. Mandate = BIAS
Brian ,   Reading Pa   (04.03.09)
"According to the mandate, the investigation will focus only on Palestinian victims of the three-week war between Israel and Hamas earlier this year." The mandate presumes the Arabs were victims. This presumes prima facia a conclusion against Israel.
41. So they find "Jewish Kapo" to destroy Israel.
Tomas   (04.03.09)
It looks that the UN finded "Jewish Kapo" to destroy Israel. Mr. Goldstone already helped to destroy most of the Jewish community in South Africa. Israel will be just additional trophy for this liberal "usefull idiot" Jew.
42. Isareli- gaza Probe is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
ben ,   singapore   (04.03.09)
an illusion perpertrated illusion towards the expansion of Transnational Islamist Movements- WAHABI MONEY ! AT WORK against Israeli Independence and Soverinighty of Israel as a NATION. UNited Nations is infiltrated ! Mos please operate espionage and counter espionage. Arrest them !
43. SA jews
daveza ,   Cape Town   (04.03.09)
Destroyed jewish communities in SA - what a load of horse dung. Which communities did Justice Goldstone destroy ? And what exactly is wrong with ' the transitional justice standards of South Africa ' ?
44. No longer a secret
ben ,   singapore   (04.03.09)
these rats made mnay jewish wine yard owners close shop. The result is many african lost their jobsm homes and investments. They in the end cripled the South African economy ! And there was a group of selfish "B" who manipulated the South Afriva Wines to enrich their pockets that made the Afrikans suffer further loss. Luckly there were reserve wines in the deposit stores, that was released in the market to balance the glut. The profit was sent back top africans. Theft was promoted inSouth Africa by the anti- aparte regim. They were not clean after all ! They reduced the jewih communities in S. Africa ! Not CONTIMULEOUS ! Not good Judges ! Where were all this UN honorary fellows when Israeli were attacked with suicide bombs and missals ? sederot, ashkelon can speak up ! They use. Illusion, imaginations, dogmas, doctrines, Islamist Hamas Terrorist Charters to created expansion sn transnational Islamist imperialist agenda ! This is how Turkey beacme istanbul,and London becane Londonistan ! Need I say anymore ? The set fire to our synagogues. The murdered our children They took out homes They rewrote history BUT WE WILL NOT LET THEIR FRAUD TO EXIST !
45. You know Golan ?

46. to ahmed, #35
normal ,   Beersheva, Israel   (04.03.09)
you way of thinking is funny, e.g. if you sides with me then he is good and professional man and if he isn't then he is bad and unprofessional regardless if your side is right. this way of thinking called being arrogant. we all know what happen to arrogant people, they get cocky and belittled others, and in the end he get a painful blow which he usually can't recover fro, be cause is arrogant nature... think of it...
47. #33 who said the UN is going to investigate the IDF?
observer   (04.03.09)
Of course, the UN is going to investigate Hamas who is intermingled with the civilians of Gaza. Israel, as usual, will not let the UN investigate the most most army.
48. #44
daveza ,   Cape Town   (04.03.09)
I have never considered leaving Africa but if the stuff you smoke over there is as good as it sounds I may reconsider. When you are back on planet earth do some research and you'll find the Wine farms are mostly owned by afrikaners, not jews.
49. #48
(04.03.09)
dont even think you can even smell such kind of stuff that you have in your imagination, here we hang people you to death : -) FYI the wine farms were grown by the jews from the Jewish migrants, ! 1800, who are now afrikaners on planet earth,unlike you : -) . These days pigs like you run wild in the farms. We take oor investments elsewhere, we have a hub a fair and just place to do business with a model Govt with decent world class politicians who are learned and sound mind unlike insane afrika :-) LOL. Ok see yeah around. last post for the day : -) cheers :)
50. fatmaveza #48, no more African murders to investigate
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (04.03.09)
in s. africa by this judge? Black on black crime and murders are the highest they have ever been in 100 years. whites are losing their lives and being robbed by Blacks at an alarmingly increasing rate too These s. african moral crusaders like 2-2 and Mandela should stay home and preach to their flock when their house is on fire several times more are killed in s. africa a year than Israel eliminates murderous arb terrorists every year. not to mention the horrible events going on in neighboring Rhodesia where 2-2, Mandela and this Judge should concentrate all their energies and moral standing, if they have any left.
51. an other un lacky. so what if he had jewish parents. means n
ralph   (04.03.09)
means nothing today
52. keep him out, show him our back side. not worth more
ralph   (04.03.09)
53. CAST LEAD would not have happened IF....
Psalams 83 ,   Selah   (04.03.09)
Hamas had controled and stopped the explosive laden qassam fire but they refused to comply with a reasonable request.... GAZA could have had a free flow of goods and services... BUT because of Hamas stuburness WE Know the rest of the story !
54. Israel is not going to coaperate with Goldstone or ElBaradei
observer   (04.03.09)
because Israel can't be a theological discriminator.
55. Palestinian blood is very precious and has royal blood.
Maria ,   MD   (04.03.09)
but the blood of Kurds,Armenians,Africans,Orientals is very cheap.
56. Marco....what your country had done to the Hispanic world
NMF   (04.03.09)
They became poor,Third world countries ,because your country took their wealth back to Queen Israel[Jezebel of Spain] and King Ferdinand[ Ahad of Spain].
57. I have a better choice and mandate for this commission
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (04.03.09)
Professor Irwin Colter is one of the most respected human rights attorneys in the world. He is not an Israeli, nor his he Jewish. He is a liberal member of the Canadian Parliament. Defense Attorney for Nelson Mandela. With such a person and a mandate to investigate all allegations war crimes I feel then and only then that we could have a fair shake.
58. Judge Goldstone's Ego
Mervyn ,   Johannesburgm South   (04.03.09)
If Goldstone has any Jewish pride and self respect he will refuse to be involved in this witch hunt! His ego obviously will not allow this!
59. The UN and its agencies demonstrate time and again...
Rina ,   Israel   (04.04.09)
...the extent to which they have been inflicted with anti-Jewish racist attitude. The UN misses no opportunity to attack Israel politically and legally, this time for defending its civilian population in the face of daily deadly attacks that have taken place for eight years. Doesn't Israel have the right to defend itself? Do the Muslim-Arab have the right to attempt to take the life of civilian Israelis? This is the UN, the peace driven organization. Ha!
60. UN antisemitic stance
Pax Universalis ,   Paris   (04.07.09)
This naming is the only way the UN can take to avoid the accusation of antisemitism. An investigation that does not include investigating war crimes by the Palestinians is biased a priori, denying the right of an attacked country to defend itself.
