1. Take a hint, U.N.!
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (06.12.09)
There are far more important things you could be doing instead of investigating wildly ridiculous "war crimes" charges leveled against Israel. While you sit and dither over Israel, how many people that you could be helping do you think have starved to death? Gazans aren't starving. The women in Gaza are some of the most obese I've ever seen! (Ever see the Widow Rantizzi? She tops the scales at better than 250 pounds! Very well fed, indeed!) Focus your attention where you can actually do some good. Think about the people who are dying of starvation -- and who are NOT terrorists -- while you focus your attention on "war crimes" that never happened!
2. ynet; why are you quoting the UN as ACCURATE?
GET REAL ,   USA   (06.13.09)
3. #1..Sarah..you took the words out of my mouth..
Malone ,   Hfx   (06.13.09)
...beat me to it. I've never seen a skinny pal yet,but all the bleaters are fixated on Israel. The latest "cause" for the lefties with time on their hands. People oppressed and starving all over Africa,yet the news is about the chubby pals...pathetic
4. Redirect Pals-bound funding
William ,   Israel   (06.13.09)
The amount of money to support the UNWRA and massive global welfare projects called the Palestinians could greatly alleviate the global hunger crisis that is facing our world today. Why should those who demand money without accountability and reject all ends for peace and are widely using the money for increased family growth and over-feeding their own mouths have access to such funds when next door, a piece of bread would be a blessing? Reports on poverty, genocide, and lack of basic healthcare are no good when the very morality of the UN is so lacking.
5. It's Natures Way
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville, USA   (06.13.09)
As the third world starves, too many G8 citizens are worried about their own jobs, mortgages, educating their kids and their own futures. Nothing could be of less concern to those who are losing their jobs than feeding 105 million people in countries they couldn't even find on a map. Unbelievable as it is, with few exceptions, the citizens of the developed nations are becoming immune to the plight of the less fortunate.
6. Less food aid more access to birth
Joe ,   Ohio, USA   (06.13.09)
control. FIX the problem and stop exasperating it!
7. They are not helping themselves
Zohan ,   Tel Aviv   (06.13.09)
by not producing more. I am sure condoms are free in the third world. When life is cheap in the third world, Muslim extremists know how to exploit them
8. To: No. 6
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (06.13.09)
I think you mean "exacerbating," At least I hope you do ,,,,,
9. #3-She does that alot.
Ypip ,   Canada   (06.13.09)
10. Thanks Sarah. I thought that looked
Joe ,   Ohio, USA   (06.13.09)
funny but it passd spell check and I should have looked a little closer.
11. Imagine
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (06.13.09)
What they could do with the amount of aid that the UN spends in Gaza. They get more aid than the rest of the world combined. For the past 60 years they have done nothing to support themselves and over 90% of them are not refugees under the legal term. Yet those few get a free ride at the expense of the world.
