1. Ban Ki > why they live in Palestinians' homes *our land*
Omer ,   Palestine   (02.02.12)
2. Uesless

More moral equivocation from the UN underscores how utterly clueless they are: They don't know the difference between good and evil. And this makes them irrelevant.
3. Gaza has a land border with Egypt
solatic ,   Jerusalem   (02.02.12)
It comes down to this: Gaza has a land border with Egypt. Gaza could easily engage in commerce over the Egyptian border if the Egyptians would let it through. That Egypt will not alleviate the "poverty" of Gazans tells us more about Egypt than it does about Israel, a country which will not engage in commerce with Gaza due to war with Hamas, which is fought not because Israel fundamentally denies Hamas's right to exist but because Hamas fundamentally denies Israel's right to exist.
4. Condemnation by Ban Ki-Looney
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (02.02.12)
Imagine this. The Hamas thugs will be shaking in their shoes.
5. YesBan BOTH lots of suffering are due to GAZA

chantalle.ezer ,   Frankfurt Germany   (02.02.12)
Eu Commission/ UNO/ European Parliament= costly redundancies. Ezer
7. Ergo? Organize new life and BALANCE via NONVIOLENT TRANSFER.
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (02.02.12)
8. MORE BS FROM BAN KI MOrON
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (02.02.12)
9. Ban , the "Pope " of the UN
Nora Tel Aviv   (02.02.12)
He will be no more than a dry leaf in the turmoil of human hisory.
10. Why doesn't Ban visit...
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (02.02.12)
Sufa Arafat? IDF operations haven't seemed to hurt her any. The ersatz Palestinians and their corrupt leaders are their own worst enemy.
11. Ban's moral equivalence
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (02.02.12)
Comparing conditions in Sderot to those in the Gaza Strip is a sickening trick. The Gazans' conditions are a result of their own rulers' oppression and terrorism emanating from the Gaza Strip. The people of Sderot have to suffer that terrorism from the Gaza Strip simply because they live there.THEY aren't firing missiles at anybody Ban cannot be trusted to take an honest view of the situation. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
12. First time I feel sorry for UN Secretary-General
esnuffnstl ,   USA   (02.02.12)
It's like watching a small female teacher trying to separate two unruly teenagers fighting on the playground. Each of them, of course, claiming victimhood and blaming the other for starting it. Too bad the UN doesn't have more power so a solution can be forced on the two children mentioned in the article (the Israeli and Palestinian leaders.) Too much of the world's time and patience is wasted on them.
13. Moon is as worthless as worthless gets.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (02.02.12)
14. DEAR Mr. BAN KI MOON
LAWRENCE OF ARABIA ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (02.02.12)
Sir ,as a token of our sincere appreciation , I have purchased a ticket for you for the upcoming football game in Egypt .ENJOY.
15. THERE WAS A MAN NAMED MOON
DA URBAN POET ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (02.02.12)
There once was a man named Ban Ki Moon , whose ideas seemingly came from the moon ; this political whore became a dreadful bore he kept singing the same old tune.
16. Omer # 1
Arnold ,   Canada   (02.02.12)
Sderot is and was part of the 1947 UN mandate State of Israel. It is not Palestinian land. It is your attitude which strenghens the hard nosed Israeli attitude towards ceding any land back to your people....especially after the Gaza pullout.
17. Mr Ban is either an antisemite or dumb as a nut.....
who cares   (02.02.12)
18. how about accountability for the 70% gazans who voted
hippocrates ,   earth   (02.03.12)
in a party that calls for the genocide of the jews in their CONSTITUTION!!! When the vast majority elects an islamo nazi terror party to lead them they can blame themselves for their 5 star hotels, plenty of food, and targeting of israeli children on school buses.
19. Give Mr Ban an appropriate job - like butler.........
who cares   (02.03.12)
This man has no qualities of a leader at all - you tell him left : he goes left, you tell him right : he goes right, you tell him jump from the cliff : he jumps.....Typically asian sheep mentality : NO COURAGE TO DO WHAT YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD DO !
20. Omar no 1
ALQUDS ALYAHUDI   (02.03.12)
The Arabs in Israel, in Judea & Samaria, in Jerusalem and all over are living in a Jewish State. The Arabs does not own even ONE CENTIMETER OF THE LAND OF ISRAEL.Read your quran and study it well.Even in your alphabet the word ( P ) does not exist. Your ancestors came to the Jewish State to find work. Judea means Judah, and Judah stands for ALYAHUD or ALYAHUDI
21. UN Sec Gen. exposed to suffering of civilians
Spencer ,   Israel   (02.03.12)
Goodness gracious me. I thought that he was exposed to the violence of the Palestinians because what the world saw on the news was this man's car being attacked my the very sme people that he feels sorry for. If he really thinks that way then he should tell the truth when he addresses gatherings and NOT ask Israel to keep making concessions like stopping to build in their own country and giving away land to a people who desire to see the demise of Israel, when the only concession he is asking these terrorists to make is to "come to a conference table! Just for once Mr. UN Sec. GHen try telling the truth.
