1. UN envoy: Goldstone won't go away...
Marco ,   Spain   (10.28.09)
Goldstone's report has been signed sealed and delivered. Jusice will be done and war criminals will be brought to justice!!!!! Yeah, yeah, yeah Sarah B, I am used to you calling me "anti semite", I would have rather you referred to me as the "Anti Zionist human rights defender". Hope I would see your role models, Olmert, Livni, Barak, Mofaz and the other stooges at the Hague soon. I am sure that arrest warrants are being issued as I type.
2. Goldstone Report are lies
Steven Stein ,   New York   (10.28.09)
I support and Love Israel, I dont agree with the left. This Report is built on lies and there are so many people who hate Israel, that this gives Israel a bad rep. We need to unite as one right and left, religious and secular, we need to fight back as one voice!
3. Marco of spain
Galut ,   Selah   (10.28.09)
how about the war crime commited today in pakistan Quote "10.28.09" "A car bomb struck a busy market in northwestern Pakistan on Wednesday, killing 100 people, mostly women and children, " the perpitrators must be judged by the same standard... at least the israelis tried in most cases to warn the population in the area to be bombed with leaflets and phone calls .....niether hamas or the talliban would even concider that courtesy...
4. "Anti Zionist human rights defender"
Galut ,   SELAH   (10.28.09)
Why not just " human rights defender" defend also the rights of israeli citizens to not have qassam rockets and mortors falling on thier heads...which by the way had Qassams not been launched there would have been no "cast lead"
5. The U.N. and Goldstone can probe my @$$!!!
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.28.09)
6. Israel should expose Goldston's lies
point by ,   point   (10.28.09)
7. @ Marco the fake defender
Torquemada ,   Al Andalus   (10.29.09)
The proper respond would be to your hatred to send some explosives to the Free People of Euskadi: "Euskadi Ta Askatasuna " and those who are behind barbed wire like the people of Ceuta and Melilla! We revel in your 18% Socialist unemployment, the noble revenge.
8. Marco
Leo ,   Malmo   (10.29.09)
Marco. You already said it yourself in a previous posting :I am a proud antisemite". There is no need to deny what you clearly stated yourself. I would suggest that you use your time to learn something new. Why not try the history of Spain including fascism and the Inquisition
9. The Jig is Up
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN, USA   (10.29.09)
Reality is finally setting in that Israel may have actually commited war crimes...something the whole world witnessed on their televisions day after day after day. Solution is Palestine-Israel, 2 states, 1 country.
10. OK, so all this grief with being careful and trying to
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (10.29.09)
not hurt supposed civilians. You might just as well kill as many people as possible in the next gaza war, the publicity will be no worse than it is now and the soldiers will be safer fighting the war. And, when will Marco immigrate to gaza to help the people there. He must have a useful talent like making rockets or roadside bombs.

(10.29.09)
>>which by the way had Qassams not >>been launched there would have >>been no "cast lead" nice try, had israel not laid a siege on gaza so not even powdered baby milk would be a luxury maybe then there would have been no rockets falling on your head. Maybe...... food for thought. but it seems Israelis have a very short memory
12. #2 yes its built on lies .many many lies
rachel ,   usa   (10.29.09)
the politically correct are cowards who lack the courage to face liars and tell them the truth
13. goldstone should be ashamed...
yonatan ,   USA   (10.29.09)
israel is my second home, we should sent the mossad after goldstone
14. demonising of jews is nothing new, even by other jews
Bernard Ross ,   st.,anns bay,jamaica   (10.29.09)
jew s always want to see the world in idealistic terms. This is unreal. There are enemies who will do and say anyhting to harm Israel. There are others who will do and say anything to be in harmony with the enemies. the jew cannot change the mentality of the anti semite. He can try and kill the anti semite before the anti semite kills him. Herzog wants Israel be be the tail wagging on the arab enemy dog. No matter what the jews beg from hitler he will still kill them. act accordingly!
15. The world is feed up with Israel
George ,   Canada   (10.29.09)
Israel in its fall down no doubt. A society where 74%of its population support the far right extremist view is a sick society. The following sentences from Haaretz describe very well the state of mind of the today Israeli. “ it's a new Israeli approach which borrows from the very worst of our aging instincts. It says: We're moral, our enemies are out to exterminate us along with our state, that's all you need to know. No modifications necessary. Stay the course. Concede nothing. Ease no siege. Give no ground. Ever.” It is a radical redefinition of Postmodern Zionism, “ Goldstone report is an indicator how much the world is feed up with the Israeli bully behavior and arrogance. Israeli ambassador to UN feel the very well the world mood .Is it’s the time to put this tiny state
16. Alot of people died in Gaza, only soldiers can answer why?
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (10.29.09)
Did the IDF make mistakes in Gaza or were they ordered to do so? That is one of the question Goldstone raised in his report, looking at his facts in which some are supported in IDF and UN/Aid reports. A commision could work to stop report going to ICC but would need to question soldiers and that could be as bad for Israel leaders.
17. Israel and the UN Kangaroo Court
Y Hartuv ,   Israel   (10.29.09)
Last week’s consideration of the one-sided Goldstone Report has once again shown the fecklessness and bias of the Human Rights Council. Israel’s indictment by that body should come as no surprise to anyone who knows the UN. Israel simply cannot receive a fair hearing for any accusations placed against it there. http://calevbenyefuneh.blogspot.com/2009/10/israel-and-un-kangaroo-court.html
18. Leftists welcome a probe
Brucie ,   Chartreuse Moose   (10.29.09)
the kind given by aliens on UFOs Yossi Beillin has great pleasure from probes as do most Meretz members! Perhaps they could incorporate the probe as part of their Pride Parade
19. The Goldstone show-trial.
Ron B. ,   Tel Aviv   (10.29.09)
The report's recommendations constitute another step in the Durban strategy in which the language of human rights and international law are misused as weapons in the political war to isolate and demonize Israel. The damage did not stop with the publication of this report, and the Israeli government is faced with a serious and difficult strategic challenge in demonstrating that the committee and its members were fundamentally flawed from the beginning. As to Goldstone: http://xrl.us/bfsikb
20. Marco etc.
Jerry ,   USA   (10.29.09)
If Marco had to say what he says face-to-face with a Jew, he would be more circumspect. He has no skin in the game and no blood on the line. The internet shields him from the consequences of his words. Too bad! Israel is ineffective in explaining its position because it explains the wrong things to the world. The "one-world" folks see nationalism as evil. It is in fact not evil. There are differences between people that deserve respect. Israel above all else must maintain its difference, not strive for integration. Europe should be told to respect Israel's differences. What Israel should say to Europe is that Europe will have to relearn national pride, perhaps within our lifetimes, to avoid a witch's brew that will have no solution. Good borders make good neighbors, no less than good fences.
21. #1 - There is no "seige" on Gaza
Eran Steinberg ,   New York, NY USA   (10.29.09)
Israel exited Gaza, and needed supplies still enter, they even did so in the midst of Cast Lead - something no other country in history has ever allowed. Gaza also has a border with Egypt, and that, by the way, is sealed - I don't hear you screaming at Egypt to let supplies in?
22. to #11 it's a boomerang Arabs did a siege on
ghostq   (10.29.09)
jerusalem between 1948-1967 the jews there use to shower with rain water and eat herbs from the side of the road.
23. way to go U.N.... way to go GOLDSTONE
USA ,   USA, AMERICA   (10.29.09)
we in the USA are proud of you. stay strong. the majority of AMERICANS are with the report... and fully back it....
24. As Predicted...
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (10.29.09)
Mr. Goldstone's report is causing enormous damage to Israel and the Jewish people. How foolish he was to participate in this effort. How sad it is that he does not see the harm it is doing to us and fails to denounce this work as a lie.
25. #11...#4
Galut ,   Selah   (10.29.09)
Quote:"had israel not laid a siege on gaza so not even powdered baby milk would be a luxury maybe then there would have been no rockets falling on your head. " ========== I would note Israel left Gaza in 2005 and for a period of time there was no blockades and Hamas chose to fire qassams from the Gaza strip...so israel choose to close the borders to prevent military materials from entering Gaza.... also when israel left Gaza it left infrastruce Like large food producing Greenhouses that were promptly destroyed by Hamas....apparently Hamas didn't mind destroying them..... and maybe that is food for thought
26. goldstone
das ,   israel   (10.29.09)
gabriella shalev should disappear. she is NOT the right person to be at the UN. there are far better individuals around and in the MFA to fit the position. Livni managed to ruin the FM and put her friends in these jobs.
27. The real problem with the Gaza War
Reluctant Hawk ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (10.29.09)
The real problem with the Gaza War was that we used insufficient force to either destroy or disarm Hamas. As far as the propaganda from Goldstone, it's time to remind everyone of the Palestinian "testimony" about the Jenin Massacre (which never happened) and the blatant anti-Semitism Goldstone's bosses showed at their UN "Human Rights" conference in Durban. The NGOs from which they collected their so-called data are also tainted -- at the conference they endorsed Palestinian terrorism as legitimate. If the report came from a serious source, an investigation might be warranted, but the UN is a cruel joke.
28. #9 You obviously weren't paying attention
Cynthia ,   USA   (10.29.09)
When 7500 kassams bashed Sderot day after day. You witnessed Israel's defensive response to years of abuse which the Palestinians refused to stop. Would you be crying war crimes if these missiles were landing in Silver Bay? I think not.
29. What we have here is the same old of the past 2000 years
Israeli Israeli   (10.29.09)
It doesn't matter what state of being the Jews are in (with state or stateless), the world will hound and pound us. If we don't get that basic fact in to our thick skulls, we will indeed perish. This crazy ball of a world has a basic Law at its rotten core: "Thou shalt hate the Jews, no matter what there state of being is, be they stateless or not, we should hound and pound, them until the end of the days!" Mind you the rest of humanity also suffers from this law, because of the disporportunate attention given to Israel, no one gives them the time of day, and not a line in a news paper. If not for this law the women of Congo, Darfur and Iran would have had their voices heard and action would have been taken to save them, so they are also suffering from antisemitism!
30. Bloody scot: a lot of people died in Irag, only soldiers can
Israeli Israeli   (10.29.09)
answer why! Some how you have a blind spot for the crimes against humanity YOUR country has comitted in Iraq and Afganistan! You have massacred and tortured many innocent people, so you should be very quiet.. VERY. The same goes for England, Belgium, Australia, France, and others. You should all be very carefull how you treat Israel, because it will come back to you, hypocrites!!! and as for Goldstone, he is a cursed man walking...
