Why is it so essential to ban or prevent from viewing any film that does not portray Germany, I mean Israel, in a positive way? It's fine to portray the darker side of Arabs, Europeans, Asians etc but heaven forbid anyone should find out about what goes on in Israel.

Me thinks the Israeli delegation is talking about a work of fiction - unless you're denying the Holocaust happened.

If you want to blame Israel for everything, just say so , no need for your long winded "lunatic " statements.

No, but it's anti-Israel to show Israeli soldiers "doing" what they do NOT do; much like the "historic" film Jenin, Jenin. Both are lies, but that doesn't make any difference to you, we know. The Pals still teach their children to hate and murder Jews; now they want to teach the same to the UN.

and hollywood. i think they should screen Deep Throat at the un. this is a proper venue for this great porno. as someone mentioned-addressing the troubles in Japan or the brutal murders in Israel just isn't worth valuable un time. they might actually serve the purpose they were created for. Israel build! Ignore international ignorance! Take care of yourself because nobody else will and when the world is drowning is radical islam and asks for help based on your experience. turn a deaf ear or exact a price. what goes around comes around

show how anti semitic they are!. they should always hide videos of Israelis killing Palestinians.

anti Israel propaganda excommunicated? Jews should boycott them and they should be banned from Israel. How about a film about one of the arab terrorist attacks? I do not give a damn if the victims families object. Let us fight back.

It just makes me want to cover my eyes and scream Holocaust!! Holocaust !! HOLOCAUST !!!!

Why is that champs? Have you got something to hide, I thought so LOL!

Has Iran become a democratic country, yet? We in the world saw the way your government treated protestors in Tehran. Condemning Israel for being against freedom of expression is a vicious lie. During the 'lead cast' operation there were leftists and Arabs who demonstrated in Tel Aviv and no one who belonged to the authorities arrested them. So, stop being a liar, for God sake, that is if you realy believe in...

Before they show the film they should show the photos of the Fogel Family. The UN are anti Israel.

Oh, so now you are telling us that Iran is just a bastion of freedom, including freedom of expression? Thank you for the comic relief. It's very kind of you to always assume the role of the village idiot on these fora. Oh, wait -- it's not a role, is it?

who are the animals ?! Sure not the Palestinians . by the way I saw the film, reading Rula Jebreal's novel is better than watching the movie if you want the full truth.

Shame on U N, U N at his "best" level! as always!

Iran- a great place for freedom of anything. Holocaust movie- great comparison-where do I even begin? Oh you already know but love and enjoy irritating us-obviously. UN- just look at who sits on the human rights committee! You are all a bunch of ignoramuses. And flirting your lack of intelligence just makes it look even worse.

Haim Waxman and associates, While too busy respecting film creators their " Freedom of expression ", you are loosing us a country --- Back to the starting line; The SCHTEITL

One of Iran's top filmmakers has been imprisoned for trying to make a film about the opposition. Guess the regime has something to hide. A film about child soldiers used by the regime to beat up protesters would be a good film for the UN to watch.

Perhaps a boycott of Swiss products is in order. What do they make? cuckoo clocks? What is their claim to fame? Alleged neutrality? Ya, sure. And Hitler was just a boy scout to them

Everyone knows that there are people like Julian Schnabel who support genocide of the Jews. Instead of complaining, Israel should act like a sovereign state against its enemies. Try him in abstentia for incitement to genocide and file a request with Interpol to surrender him to Israel. As for Israeli citizens who supported this movie, simply take away their Israeli citizenship. I am certain they will get a better citizenship from Abbas or the Saudis.

"Try him in abstentia for incitement to genocide and file a request with Interpol to surrender him to Israel" I didn't know that there're so many idiots in Israel ;) ,...

...except when they tell the truth about us... I'm sure the UN will accede to the demands and cancel the screening LOL

You obviously haven't been reading ynet very often. Or Haaretz for that matter.

Allowed to write whatever you want, because Israel lacks freedom? You really are a simpleton. Tell me, how many blogger's has Iran arrested this year, so far? I do know they HUNG at least 8 protesters in January of this year. (Just the first month of the year) So far Israel has hung how many protesters? That's right none, ever!! Now of course you can bring up protesters shot during the intifada, you know, the ones using their kids as human shields, very courageous and a war crime. How many kids did Iran use as human mind sweepers (during the Iran/Iraq war)? Giving the kids necklaces, and telling them they were keys to heaven. Nice touch. Yes Iran is all about freedom, isn't it? Have you ever seen the film "For Neda", the movie banned in Iran. Because it revealed the brutal repression of the Iranian protesters (by the Iranian military and police) who were offended at the 2007 rigged elections. Who was it that won 95% of the vote? Yea, that's real believable, these guys don't even lie well. But it's intentional, they want the people to be intimidated. To prove they can get away with anything they want, and they do!!

The ersatz "Palestinians" have a long upward climb before reaching "animals" on the evolutionary scale. I am glad you recognize this rather sad fact.

The United Nations is not the appropriate forum for screening a work of pure fiction.

Do you always put your stupidity on display? Israel could screen films of the aftermath of suicide bombings, or the several thousand Jews killed in terror attacks. Would you find that preferable? Israel's response has always been measured. We are a sovereign nation, and we are entitled to take all necessary steps to defend our citizens from terrorist attacks. Israel endured eight years of daily missile barrages before undertaking Operation Cast Lead. How long would Canada have waited in a similar situation? Eight seconds? Do you think some of us do not know when Pierre Elliot Trudea declared martial law, shoot-on-sight orders and sent tanks into Quebec? And that was against his own people. So I think you need to shut up.

Isn't that what the Nazis said about the Jews? Nothing changes except the players.
