bill ,   canada   (06.28.11)
israel is unfit to be in the UN almost every UN organization has censured israel for anti human activity build higher walls and stay in your ghetto forget the world it has no interest in israel
32. #23
Yaron ,   USA   (06.28.11)
Hey Coward, how about showing your srtripes instead of hiding like the vile creature you are. Sarah B has more intellect in her finger than you can ever hope for. Why don't you go post on one of the muslim boards and leave the intellectual conversation to the rest. You are clearly not capable.
33. #31 on the contrary, it seems ONLY interested by Israel.

34. Jordan is Palestine. This must be two state solution.
USA   (06.28.11)
35. #31 Please can we build our wall
Rebecca ,   Modiin   (06.28.11)
exactly as the Torah describes our borders. We'd love to live in our well educated, prosperous, civilized, democratic 1st world Ghetto, with walls to keep us safe.
36. yet buldozers on Temple Mount are fine
Carl ,   USA   (06.28.11)
Palestinians desecrated priceless archaeological and religious treasures on the Temple Mount a few years ago by excavating with heavy machinery and this was perfectly fine with UNESCO. And they have the nerve to deny Israel even a basic right to be heard in their sham proceeding and then demand access to our holy site!
37. (31) Bill in far, far away Canada
tiki ,   belgium   (06.28.11)
Bill, make up your mind. When Israel is building a wall; "Why are they building a wall. When Israel is not building a wall; "Why don't they build a higher wall. That's the problem with you irrelevant Israel bashers, you don't have a clue about anything, not even on the simple question: "To build the wall, or not to build the wall".
38. #2 - this is the thanks we get from Jordan
William ,   Israel   (06.28.11)
Israel has worked very closely with Jordan and saved the asses of the Hashemites more than one time. Israel aided the King when Syria tried to take them over in the last 1960s, and again when the PLO tried to take them over in the early 1970s. Israel provides them with more water than agreed upon in Oslo Accords, and is willing to sell them more water at 1/4 the price. In 1967, Israel did an honorable (albeit probably stupid) thing and handed the keys of the Dome of the Rock to the Waqf and the rights of management back to the Hashemites, the noble family who's main purpose was the management and protection of Islam holy places (although there is contention among Muslims as to whether Jerusalem was ever visited by Muhammed). As they say - no good deed goes unpunished. So, in turn, Israel should cancel the water deal with parched Jordan, and increase voices of "Jordan is Palestine" and see if they get the message.
39. bill from Canada no 31
JUDAH THE LION   (06.28.11)
Do yolu know what UN stand for. UN=United Nazis
40. But NO censure for pal excavations at Teme Mount
EZ ,   US   (06.28.11)
Palestinians purposely destroyed ancient sites under the dome of "repression" and NO ONE SAID A WORD! The world is full of savage New-Haters. Why even bother anymore? Israel should excavate and do whatever it pleases. E ouch of trying to please the Arabs, UN and EU. Moving on!
41. UNESCO

42. The post at No. 22 is not mine
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.28.11)
43. U N
Niss ,   uk   (06.28.11)
U N SHOULD BE RENAMED UNITED NOTHING
44. Could they be worried about what Israel may discover?
David ,   Hartford USA   (06.28.11)
Could it be that Israel would expose a stratigraphic record that proves beyond all doubt that the Hebrews were here first and that Islamists were very late to the party (which they crashed anyway?) You bet it is! The Temple Mount is in Israel. No other country should have any say in what goes on. Go dig, Israel! (and #40 is right on track, too.)
45. Outrages
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.28.11)
The first outrage is that Israel was not restored to full membership in UNESCO. The second outrage is that Israel hasn't told UNESCO to go hang. But what is laughable is the very notion that Israel will cease archeological excavation in the State of Israel. UNESCO -- and the merry band of Arabs and Moslems that populate and dominate it -- are just upset because everything discovered in the Israeli archeological excavations serve only to buttress Israel's claim to the land and to point up the fact that there is nothing remotely connected to the Arab presence except garbage dumps. Tee hee. Deal with it!
46. UN Censure against Israel just more hypocracy
