1. Mr. Barak,
Salma ,   Palestine   (04.30.11)
"Israel" too fires rockets and missiles, so what?!
2. A waste of time, Yes !
AlbertoGA ,   St. George, USA   (04.30.11)
#1 To talk to an Antisemitic Org...the UN #2 To hope that Hamas and Fatah will be nice. Third ...read #1 condition
3. Barak is absolutely the most,...
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (04.30.11)
least qualified and most inarticulate individual (and THAT is saying something) to express to a totally clueless Banky Moon, Israel's objections towards anything the so called Pals, allow to fester. Surely there is someone, ANYONE, who can do the job. Outsource if you must.
4. Israel fires rockets too
Mr. Schofield ,   Australia   (04.30.11)
Are we forgetting...Israel fires rockets too? How about the fact that Israel has killed hundreds of innocent children?
5. Israel doesn't want unity beacuse it..
Chris.B ,   Australia   (04.30.11)
hampers their long term goal of keeping the Palestinians divided. Israel negotiates with Hamas anyway and I would of thought a unity government would be more accountable for its actions a benefit to Israel.
6. When Hamas, as required by the entire international...

community, meets the three simple demands placed in front of it, I am sure, Israel also will deal with this organization across the negotiating table, but not before. The UN, US, EU and Russia demanded of Hamas to: 1) Accept Israel right to exist 2) Cease all acts of terror and violence against Israel and its citizens, and all preparations for such acts 3) Adhere to agreements with Israel already singed And, since the entire international community has rejected of Hamas prior to it adhering to these three simple points, yet the PLO's PA does not, the move says a lot not only about Hamas, but also about the "moderate" PLO, its Palestinian Authority and the various components of the two, e.g. Fatah... We, Jews, have taken a note of the people with whom we deal and the ones with which our nation-state, the nation-state of the Jewish people, Israel, has been hoping to achieve an accommodation of peaceful coexistence. Let us hope the rest of the world is not cynical, and it too will take a note of the way all of us have been fooled!! P.S. This poster trusts the US and its Canadian, Australian and European allies will be firm in their demand!!
7. Hamas renounces terror?
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (04.30.11)
This guy is so funny.
8. THETRUTH IS SAD
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (04.30.11)
Because the fact is the UN will be of no help. If a government cannot abide by International Law it should never be accepted. The fact is, that is one of the International requirements. So when Israel asks the UN: and I quote. "including recognizing Israel, relinquishing terrorism, and honoring previous agreements with the state. " Those are all past agreements that MUST be honored. Otherwise you can make the case the government is illegal. Which of course is one of the reasons why the Pals cannot legally make a unilateral Declaration for statehood. Sadly, the UN is the wrong place to expect any fairness. If there is any way they can hurt Israel they always will. The flotilla incident is a classic example. Everybody that saw the video's knew the terrorists started it. But the UN set up a rigged commission, as usual. Even the BBC blamed the terrorists on that one. Now that's saying something!
9. To #1
Edward ,   Savannah, USA   (04.30.11)
The DIFFERENCE Salma is that Israel retaliates against PLO/Hamas terror strikes by bombing EMPTY buildings and tunnels while your people actually target children. I believe a recent certain "school bus" incidence comes to mind here. What Barak is doing is basically telling the U.N. is "Hey, we're running out of empty buildings and tunnels to hit, tell the PLO/Hamas that either they stop their terror strikes, or we'll be forced to actually injure someone"!!! What a shame!!!
10. No, Mr. Barak
GOOD ,   USA/Israel   (04.30.11)
Hamas must be destroyed. Who cares for what they say or if they renounce this or that? they'll renounce whatever until they get what they want and than they'll renounce the renunciation. Don't you ever learn Mr. Barak? Retire already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11. until there no occuption and no settlements
abdalla   (04.30.11)
there's no such thing as ''terror'' its called ''resistance''. we have a right to resist
12. Hamas MUST renounce terrorism...
Marco ,   Spain   (04.30.11)
When Israel does the same...
13. And In Turn
Ed ,   Hailey, USA   (04.30.11)
Fatah/Hamas should not recognize Israel unless they drop the Greed and stop the "Settlements"
14. Mr. Schofield / 4
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (04.30.11)
When is the last time Israel targeted a school bus? As to innocent children being killed, how many German and Japanese children were killed during world war 2? How many British and Chinese children? What do you think war is sir? Israel does not target children, the United States and Great Britain does not target children but children have been killed by all of us. It's a sad fact of life. Instead of pointing your finger at Israel you should be remembering that the people Israel are fighting DO TARGET CHILDREN!
15. #11 Abdallah, the Prerequisite is True Apartheid
Dallas ,   Canada   (04.30.11)
If the UN would agree to the Palestinians creating a TRUE APARTHEID regime (Judenrein), then it will be clear who stands for human rights and who is the hypocrite. Apologists are painted into a corner, and the truth eventually rises to the surface.
16. JESUSALEN
JESUSALEN ,   JESUSALEN   (04.30.11)
although good and truth persecution continues in the 21st century,the voice of the martyr in the 1st century is still the most darmatic evidence that the life,death and resurrection of Jesus was not a man-made hoax conspired by a group of disciples,since the beginning many of the early servants were eye-witnesses to the life of Jesus,their story was not just based on belief but actual historical events,it is one to die for a belief,freedom,justice,honor,love and peace
17. Hamas is a Muslim version of the KKK
Sam ,   Ottawa, Canada   (04.30.11)
Even if they renounced terror you can't reason with a bunch of gibbering racists.
18. Number 6. Spot on!
Benjamin ,   Manchester, UK   (04.30.11)
19. #11 how's that workin out for ya?
Joe ,   St louis USA   (04.30.11)
Turning down 7 separate offers for a Palestinian state and then firing rockets at random and yet somehow you still don't have an independent state. How's that even possible? Seems like such a sensible approach too. Firing the anti- tank missile at the school bus was a nice touch though. I'm sure that completely intimidated the Israeli military.
20. #4: How much of the real facts do you know
(04.30.11)
apart from wanting to believe all slander about Jews and Israel
21. To Salma..
Rafi ,   Montreal, Canada   (04.30.11)
Yes they do...in defense and response...right?...aimed at the shooters..not children and innocents civilians...right?...they also forewarn of actions with leaflets and cell calls...now if kids and civilians were not used as human shields..forbidden to be exposed to attacks they always know are coming...what would be the death toll in Palestine?...the same as in Israel...not merely enough for world sympathy and condemnation...and then Mrs Arafat would not be inheriting all that western money from her husband who stole it....
22. #11: Your "resistance" is mockery. It is
Vardina   (04.30.11)
murder for the sake of murder. You simply can't change therefore you find excuses.
23. NR. 1.
Orao. ,   Srbia.   (04.30.11)
- AS THE POLICE AND THE CRIMANALS EXCHANGES FIRE - !!!. THIS WOMAN MUST BE AN IMBECILLE - OR SOMETHING ???. Orao.Srbia.
24. So when is Israel going to renounce terror and recognize...
Ibrahim Khalid ,   London, UK   (04.30.11)
...the right of palestinians to live in their land with equal rights to their jewish neighbours?
25. NR.12.
Orao. ,   Srbia.   (04.30.11)
THIS ONE IS IN PERSONALITY THE SAME AS NR 1. Orao.Srbia.
26. NR.16.
Orao. ,   Srbia.   (04.30.11)
,the voice of the martyr in the 1st century is still the most darmatic evidence that the life,death and resurrection of Jesus was not a man-made hoax conspired by a group of disciples,since the beginning many of the early servants were eye-witnesses to the life of Jesus,their story was not just based on belief but actual historical events THEIR CHARACTEROF CONDUCT - THEIR WILLINNESS TO DIE FOR THEIR TESTIMONY, NOT AS THE PSYCHOPATS OF ISLAM, BUT AS BUTCHERED LAMBS,SPEAKS FOR THE TRUTH !!!. NO LIER WANTS TO SACRIFICE HIMSELF, AND DIE FOR HIS LIE. Orao.Srbia.
27. So does Israel and the US
Deutronomy 28 ,   World   (04.30.11)
So once these hypocritical states renounce Terror, then they can ask it from others until then, statu quo
28. Israel Must First Renounce Barak
meir elazar   (04.30.11)
Israel must first rid itself of this traitorous entity pretending to be a Defense Minister. His "Defense" actions violate the norms of any civilized country that wishes to survive and only alligns with the low standards of France whose motto is "Run, Hide, Surrender, Collaborate". Barak has NEVER accomplished ANYTHING or done any GOOD for Israel.
29. #8 the truth is sad indeed bark
Deutronomy 28 ,   World   (04.30.11)
Before you teach people on international law and what it demands from Palestinians, how about your terrorists, Israel and the US accept the international law that states and I quote: " Jerusalem is occupied territory, the west bank and gaza are occupied territories, the Palestinian state is within the 67 borders ...5 millions Palestinians have the right to return ..." so let's start the negotiations once the terrorists recognize that, then we will discuss whether or not the resistance will ever recognize Israel's existence and within what borders...
30. #19 why do Jews keep bitching then
Deutronomy 28 ,   World   (04.30.11)
If military is not intimate and the current situation is good for you, why do Jews and zionists keep bitching, is it maybe because every now and then some of them get killed and they can't stand the fact that they're not safe?so why don't you ask them how is that working for them? And you? The Israeli military always pre occupied with what Hamas does and what weapons they get etc... How is that working for you? They seem pretty intimidated to me...besides if the current situation is what they want it's great, there is almost a billion Arab vs 6 million Jews let's who lasts longer. And I would love to see how that works for you lol
