1. Shame. All that effort just to have it veto'd.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (10.21.11)
Not even a moral victory, since they don't have any.
2. FALK
Devorah   (10.21.11)
"....'long-term occupation' has dramatic effects on the health and well-being of children." Yes it does, Falk. The firing of missiles and rockets from Hamas into Israel civilian areas has long-term traumatic effects on the children of Be'ersheva, Sderot, Ashkelon, Ashdod, etc. And you are worried about the treatment of "palestinian" stone throwers because they are children? Why don't you worry instead about their twisted parents who are raising them to be terrorists? Stones and rocks are lethal weapons, Falk, as evidenced by the deaths of Asher Palmer and his 18-month old son, Yonatan, in September, or doesn't that factor into your warped equation? Falk, you are just another dirtbag, bleeding-heart whore for "palestine."
3. "after Saturday comes Sunday", UN help persecute christians
mary of bethany ,   singapore   (10.21.11)
arab christians were laboring hard to brainwash tourists on IDF and local-jews ill-treating arabs neighbors and arab christians. thus touching the heart-strings of Americans / Asia christian-tourists which are naive enough to believe, thus offering them financial aids.... Biss and her other low-lives will works on the arab christians once they chase the Jews off Judea and Samaria and E Jerusalem, actually in many arab countries, even those "blessed" by arab springs also start to face this "after saturday comes sunday" crisis, actually "Sunday already comes" for many arab countries, it just bias major medias find this kind of news not popular! UN is not just against Jews, UN is against christians in arab countries.
4. There Is No Occupation
Armchair General ,   Wisconsin, USA   (10.21.11)
Repeating the Big Lie of occupation doesn't make it so. The worst people in the world are anti-Semitic Jews like Richard Falk. Jews all over the world, and non-Jewish friends of Israel, have to stop donating to the UN, even to agencies like UNESCO and UNICEF. If the UN backs the stoning of Jews by minors, starving children around the world can get food from Jew haters. Notice the quartet wants to set the date for another Arab state, this one in the Jewish heartland, by the end of 2012. Any coincidence that will be right after the US presidential election, untying Obama's hands?
5. Serve U.N. with legal proof Judea/Samaria are ours.
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.21.11)
There is overwhelming legal proof Judea and Samaria belong to Israel, supplied by some of the world's foremost international law expert. Why does Israel hide it? Israel should serve the U.N., as well as all world governments, media and NGOs with incontrovertible proof supporting our 3,500 year old claim to Judea and Samaria. It would be easy to do and there is no excuse not to do so. Will we convince our enemies? Of course not. However, we will greatly strengthen our cause, skyrocket our self respect, encourage our friends and allies and convince every open minded person we are correct.
6. Falk should be concerned about the kind of brainwashing
Harry Wright ,   UK   (10.21.11)
to which Arab children are subjected, the terrible curriculum that damages their psyche for life, the cultivation of violence from cradle to grave, the use and abuse of children to carry out hostile activities including stoning and the irresponsible parenting of the adults in the society. The problem is an attitudinal one. Falk is a hate-filled idiot.
7. Of course you don't
jimi ,   palestine   (10.21.11)
Of course you don't have any right, not legal, nor historcal... If you want to go to history then it didn't start 3500 years and earth was not created then, and before jews came to palestine..palestinians were there. If you think that West bank is yours then you need to give back TelAviv and all coastal areas...becuase they were never with jews... calm down
8. Just send the UN idiots packing, don't need them,
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (10.21.11)
don't want them, good by. And when the world complains, just say that we made the choice and we are sticking to it now go take care of your part of the world as we are taking care of our part.
9. I hope he means Jewish children
A ,   Belgium   (10.21.11)
"UN investigator has urged increased protection for children " so that Jewish parents in Judah and Samaria dont have to worry that a terrorist wont sneak into their homes and cut their childrens throats, ie. Fogel
10. When is the PA going to hold long overdue elections!
michael redbourn ,   arad israel   (10.21.11)
11. Falk is a lowlife deserving no coverage at all. What he does
tom ,   tel aviv   (10.21.11)
deserve is unfortunately not fitted for printing in your august publication....
12. AP- ''PALESTINIANS...''
SJOERD RUURD VAN DER ,   MULTIVERSE   (10.24.11)
THE PALESTINIAN, THE KURDISH PEOPLE AND SO ON SHOULD ALREADY HAVE A UN MEMBERSHIP.
