3. The Arabs have no interest in peace, thus
Eitan ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (10.07.09)
why not raise the matter of the report as yet another tool with which to demonize Israel, to de-legitimize its government, Defense Forces, indeed its people, the Jewish people whose nation-state it is, to ensure an easier way of later attempting once again of wiping the Jewish state off the face of earth. Peace with Israel whose right to exist they don't wish to achieve after all.
4. goldstone and libya
alexi   (10.07.09)
Thank you goldstone for making israel's life harder.Hamas of course has disregarded your conclusions that their rocket fire are war crimes. All arabs are dancing with glee over your findings of israeli war crimes. Again, you say that hamas did not use civilian cover. How did you prove that? Arabs always use civilian cover so you got taken by gazan lies. You and nicole will be welcome in arab capitals and so enjoy yourselves while arabs curse the jews.
5. UN would look better if iran asks for it.

6. goldstone and israel
juan solana ,   san diego   (10.07.09)
ok, any report on palestine problem, is un-balanced against israel or one sided, also against israel, even if it's made by a jew, OMG, how come? why?
7. What say you Richard Goldstone?
Cynthia ,   USA   (10.08.09)
The Palestinians are again firing kassams at Israel trying to provoke another war. Why doesn't the UN intervene? Stop the aggression against Israel. Isn't that the job of the UN? Or do you only show up when the dust settles to scold and punish Israel? Now you'll spend endless hours and more resources dissecting a biased report worthy of the shredder.
8. Abbas has been appeasing Israel for years
Fares ,   Jordan   (10.08.09)
Abbas has been appeasing Israel for years by arresting and torturing his own people whenever the Shin Bet told him to. There hasn't been a single attack inside of Israel originating from the West Bank in years. And what has Abbas achieved for his people in return?? NOTHING except more and more Israeli settlements and continued restrictions on the freedoms in the occupied territories. The problem is there is no peace partner on the Israeli side. It's time for Abbas to resign so that a new, strong leader can take his place. The days of appeasing the Israelis are over.
9. Useless, Lying UN
USABorn   (10.08.09)
Why doesn't the UN consider qassam rockets from Gaza a war crime?
10. Goldstone and the Prez have put peace back a long way
Alan ,   SA   (10.08.09)
11. To Fares in Jordan
David ,   Rhode Island   (10.08.09)
According to an article in The Wall Street Journal, the west bank has an annual growth rate of 7%, a thriving tourist industry, and a 24% hike in the average daily wage. There has been an 18% increase in the local stock exchange, a 94% growth of tourism to Bethlehem, generating 6000 new jobs, and an 82% rise in trade with Israel. Google: West Bank Success Story By Michael B. OREN Wall Street Journal August 13, 2009 Now tell me sir, why did your country revoke the citizenship of it's palestinians?
12. Goldstone Report Widely Discredited
Stan ,   Johannesburg RSA   (10.08.09)
The Goldstone Report is now widely discredited as being erroneously critical of Israel and complete nonsense in its addressing of Hamas crimes and is seen as a political report that is a travesty of concept of international justice. It is clear that trying to solve this ME dispute by the passing of one-sided political judgements will stifle any chance of achieving peace through negotiation and serves to highten tensions in the region such as the rioting on the Temple Mount. It is time for the UN Human Rightd council to be brought in line so that it might oneday serve it's intended purpose for which there are billions of global victims in dire need of their support.
