1. Hershkovitz and Yishai got it right
(07.25.10)
Braverman and Netanyahu are not normal at all.
2. We need to put this behind us
The Dude   (07.25.10)
We have lost this PR war because only 34% of American citizens support the Israeli actions against the flotilla. We need to cooperate with this new investigation and swallow the bitter pill that the soliders make mistakes in killing those turks
3. appointed a committee
Marcel ,   Florida   (07.25.10)
A weak leader who cannot lead always appoints committee's who only talk and do not act. Israel is in trouble because it listens to everyone but HaShem. http://averyheavystone.blogspot.com/
4. Every murder would like to pick jury.
Peter Morris ,   New Zealand   (07.25.10)
Utterances from Israel get wierder and more irrational by the day. Of all people to produce a report Goldstone was the most fairest and pro Israel appointee possible. What.... was he going to have to lie and discredit himself to protect out of control Israel military and political zealots. Wake up Israel these pathetic denounciations of any group investigating Israel don't fool anyone.
5. Midah keneged midah!
(07.25.10)
What the State of Israel did with their false accusations and fabrication against innocent religious Jews to some corrupt judges who fall for their fabrications, the UN and Goldstone are doing to the State of Israel. IDENTICAL! Testimonies being ignored and every single remark by the politicians, including Netanyahu's that Goldstone's report was prewritten, etc. matche the Prosecutors’ report against haredim to the hair. Wake up people, there’s a G-d in the world that wants to show Israel YESH DIN VEYESH DAYAN!!!!!
6. DON'T COOPERATE
David P. ,   Capitola, CA   (07.25.10)
These UN people, along with many in the American administration have a visceral hate for Israel. All this so-called objective investigation does is give rise to another opportunity to condemn Israel, don't let them do it!
7. Erdogan Rules
Kemal ,   Turkey   (07.25.10)
8. UN: committee like Goldstone
DT ,   TA Israel   (07.25.10)
PM you are correct. The UN is an organzation that would benfit those who want the exterminatrion of Israel. They should not be allowed on Israeli soil and it is bad enough to have them as "terrors friend and shield " in Gaza.
9. David P. #6
Keith   (07.25.10)
May I suggest that Israel closes ALL chapters of the silly old wannabe Goldstone. We know what he is..... don't we?
10. UN human rights comission. Give me a break.
USA   (07.25.10)
They're favorite country to accuse and investigate is Israel. Send them to hell.
11. Mary Shanthi Dairiam (Malaysia),
BENJAMIN ,   SINGAPORE   (07.25.10)
I just want to say, that this Mary Shanthi Dairiam (Malaysia), is a gender defense double faced drama queen. I Malaysia she would not look into HUMAN RIGHTs ISSUEs. Here she want to check us out ? Madras platform and Sussex Rail way is her place. THAT IS ALL ! I want see her to speak on ISSUE OF MALAYSIAN WOMEN and INDIANS ! IF SHE DARES ! SEE IF SHE CAN SPEAK ABOUT THE DISCRINMINATION OF JEWS OF MALAYSIA !
12. cooperating with an international inquiry would mean
no to Goldstone 2   (07.25.10)
acknowledging that Israel is unable to perform independent investigation unlike every other democracy. Then there is no way out and multiple international investigations will follow for every incident. But I have no illusions. Israel will fall for this trap
13. Why bother?
Danny   (07.25.10)
hands up anyone who thinks it would have made the blindest bit of difference if Israel had cooperated with Goldstone? This "investigation" is no different. Israel shouldn't bother responding in detail to any allegations just keep showing the video where the "activists" attack the soldiers before they are even on the boat.
14. #7 Ruling over the demise of Turkey??
Janice Cohen ,   ירושלים   (07.25.10)
15. Golsstone and UN Team are Telling the TRUTH
Truth Teller ,   NY   (07.25.10)
You cannot expect to commit war crimes and piracy in the high seas and still be found innocent! Truth hurts, Mr. Netanyahu!
16. Goldstone
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (07.25.10)
Although Justice Goldstone happens to be Jewish, he is a very fair, enlightened jurist who properly commands the world's attention and respect. Perhaps he was once fooled by Zionist propaganda and rationalizations, but those days seem long past. Keep up the good work, Your Honor!
17. The international coimmunity will wind
jason white ,   afula, israel   (07.25.10)
up investigating this flotilla garbage more than they did the Holocaust. The Darfur massacres. The Cambodian massacre. And more involving the deaths of millions. What about investigating what the u.s.s.r. did in the 70 years of communism? Or What the communists did in China? Tens of millions were killed and tens of millions imprisoned. What about No.Korea? Turkish massacre of Armenians and Kurds? Keep them out of Israel.Warn the next flotilla that they will be sunk.
18. #16 So what if he happens to be Jewish?
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (07.25.10)
As usual, your post reflects your problem with Jews. Goldstone himself remarked his report wouldn't stand in court, as much of it was based on hearsay. Save your bigotry for the Ordure from which you emanate.
19. COME ON!!!THINK STRATEGICALLY
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne,   (07.25.10)
Look at the members of the HRC enquiry.They don't work for nothing and they don't rush themselves. Of course,cooperate and cooperate again and again.Give them information constipation and watch the time pass and the costs spiral.The Saville Enquiry in Britain took 12 years and cost us £200,000,000. With luck this could BUST the HRC. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
20. #4, personally I am proud of the fact the HRC
Danny   (07.25.10)
attacks Israel. The day Israel's behavior is supported by such human rights luminaries as : Angola, Bahrain, Bangladesh, China, Cuba, Djibouti, Egypt, Gabon, Ghana, Indonesia, Jordan, Kyrgyzstan, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Qatar, Russian Federation, Saudia Arabia and Senegal would be a day to weep. Thank you UN for not lumping Israel in with those scumbags. Peter, I am glad you feel these people represent what you believe in when it comes to human rights.
21. International Court of Inquiry
Maureen   (07.25.10)
Why waste your precious breath Israel. Tell the ignorant "Gallstoners" to take a long walk on a short Pier. A bunch of silly boys cashing in mightily for a litany of lies.
22. UN Human Rights Commission has established record
Guardian of Israel ,   Israel   (07.26.10)
That the UN Human Rights Commission is biased against Israel is an established fact. How many times has it scolded an Arab or Muslim country for a never-ending tirade against Israel? For 50 years or so the answer is a big fat ZERO. And what about Israel? How many times has Israel been scolded? The number is too long to remember. So one side is always right while the other side is always wrong. Does anyone for a second believe there is a morsel of truth in the UN Commission's record? Are all Arab and Muslim countries saints?
23. GO ON, MAKE THE SAME STUPID DECISION AGAIN : DON'T COOPERATE
Ehud ,   Isratine   (07.26.10)
24. HRC report already written.
leoblue ,   NY NY   (07.26.10)
The UN HRC interviewed the dead terrorists. During the seance they said that they [the terrorists] were sunning on the poop deck when the Israelis swept down and killed them. The final draft report is finished.
25. Israel should cooperate with UN
Sena Murat   (07.26.10)
If the main aim of the Israel is to make clear the facts about mavi marmara, Israel must cooperate with UN.
