sk ,   USA   (03.20.12)
If she used the word "Israel" instead of "Gaza" she would have been correct (Fogel massacre, etc).
32. Ass-hton
Am Israel ,   IL   (03.20.12)
This " Lady " is another example that shows what happens if one has had to much Gin in his Life. Ban this " Highness " from entering Israel.

Britania ,   ManU   (03.20.12)
as far as I know the Aussies usually blame Brits for everything.

35. now you know how China feels
Raymond Paz ,   China Macau   (03.20.12)
well, at least now you jews / israelis knows how the politicians in China felt when EU decides to give nobel prize to Dalai Lama for supporting terrorism in the form of mass suicide by burning. But at the same time also use "human rights" to turn blind eye towards hatred towards jews, christians, religions, forcing people to accept homosexuality ( incest next maybe? ), and other stuffs. Morally and literally bankrupt EU.
36. The Despicable Rabid Jew-Hate of EU Representative
Linda Rivera ,   New York, USA   (03.20.12)
The EU Foreign Policy Chief appears to be a major representative for the totalitarian, political-religious system of Islam. Ashton does NOT condemn Muslims hiding behind women and children and firing rockets from densely populated areas in Gaza. Ashton does NOT condemn the despicable WAR CRIME of Muslims firing rockets from Gaza at civilians in Israel. Ashton is radically opposed to the most minimal self-defensive measures Israel takes. Ashton is fully aware her rabidly anti-Israel statements provoke hate and murderous rage against Israel's Jews and Jews worldwide.
37. Morally bankrup EU
usa   (03.20.12)
Jews gunned down Nazi style on French streets, is comparable to Gaza. Why oh why does Israel entertain these fools.

39. Ashton remarks grossly distorted
joe ,   uk   (03.20.12)
but she said it and it proves what Aston realy thinks about jewish people and gaza people she jumped on the opportunity to please the arabs and the palistinians
40. Aston - maybe you should think b4 talking
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (03.20.12)
41. Ashton=RADICAL LEFTIST=just like the LEFTISTS in Israel!

42. nr. 4, a proud Israeli
Eva ,   Jerusalem Israel   (03.20.12)
Misses Ashton, I hope you will read the talkback of nr. 4 very good! Kol ha Kavod for this proud Israeli, he is 200% right!!
43. Too late for Ashton
Ari ,   Kfar Saba   (03.20.12)
Too late for apologies, clarifications and retractions. She is as hateful as she is ugly.
44. Ashton
howie ,   brooklyn, usa   (03.20.12)
A woman who is ugly both inside and out. Once again she has demonstrated a moral idiocy proving that she is unqualified for her job.
45. Forget about Robert #1 from d under
Barry ,   Tokyo   (03.20.12)
He´s a regular seething anti-semite whose posts are as dumb as they get. Responding to this wanker is a complete waste of time. Let him rot in his dark, cold place he dwells. Remember, G_d created cockroaches - there is a place for Robert in this world.
46. .......and they want us to believe that!!!!!!!!
sam dalpattuco ,   gibraltar   (03.20.12)
THIS WOMAN,LIKE HER PREDECESSOR SOLANA , HAS A TRACK RECORD OF BEING TOTALLY ANTI ISRAEL AND COMPLETELY BIASED AGAINST THE JEWISH STATE. SHE LOOKS SO MUCH LIKE A DINNER LADY THAT SHE WOULD BE OF BETTER USE AS A WAITRESS IN A HAMAS COFFEE HOUSE
47. The every day threat on Israeli children
Israel ,   Israel   (03.20.12)
Mrs. Ashton FORGETS the every day threat on Israeli children in the south. These are less important??? Be shamed!
48. #26 correction
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (03.20.12)
You do not need to go back to Auschwitz. That is exactly what countless Arab heroes did including the Awad brothers who murdered Yoav (11), Elad (4) and Hadas (3 months) only one year ago. Did you notice how Ashton could not be bothered to condemn the Awad brothers? That says it all.
49. Ashton
Debbie ,   Israel   (03.20.12)
It seems to me that if this rediculous lady were looking for an example of wanton murder of children, she had an option of choosing any one of a hundred countries, other than Gaza, where this is definitely not taking place. For starters, how 'bout Sudan, Darfur, Congo, Eritrea, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and dozens of other Asian and African countries, where children are maimed tortured abused and killed on a daily basis? Just once I would like to see an expression of outrage and sorrow when Jewish kids are murdered, which is not followed by bashing Israel. This woman knew very well what she meant, she meant to phrase it as she did, it was meant to bash Israel, and she should be ordered to immediately retract and apologize or be fired from her undeserved position.
50. Ashton,
Debbie ,   Israel   (03.20.12)
To A Proud Israeli, I agree with everything you wrote. My statements never get printed here, so hopefully this will. This embarassing nitwit knows very well what she said, and what she meant. She was ordered to issue a statement of condolence, so she wasnt planning to do this without getting a little Israel bashing in at the end. She should be immediately ordered to retract and publicly apologize or be fired immediately. There are 100 other countries she could have listed, if she wanted to compare countries where children are routinely tortured and murdered. How 'bout Darfur, Sudan, Congo, Eritrea, and Syria for starters? Gaza was actually the best example she could come up with? Really?
51. Like a typical politican
babawawa ,   new york, usa   (03.20.12)
Creeps like Ashton say what they will until the are busted for it, and then backtrack like nothing happened. To #1 - what is going on in the Middle East is the fault of the anti-semetic government of Britain after WWII. What nonsense to blame our reproach as a cause of WWIII.
52. @35 Now that's rich.
Gabriel ,   Leiden, Netherlands   (03.20.12)
'now you know how politicians in China felt'. I am sure that the ever pragmatic politicians in China were absolutely heartbroken. I don't give a hoot about how China feels. China facilitates the Iranian mullah-madness ands neuters sanctions against Iran in the UNSC, just to name a couple of things. Being European and Jewish, I am perfectly situated to understand what the EU-government is all about when it comes to Israel, but China is not very deserving of Jewish or Israeli compassion in it's dealings with Europe, apart from the fact that the Nobel Peace Prize is actually not awarded by the EU. Post Scriptum, I am aware of at least two persons who where a whole bloody lot less deserving of the Nobel peace prize than the Dalai Llama.
53. vile Ashton of England
yossi   (03.20.12)
To # 40, Barbara of Haifa. She has to think before talking?. How can she? The cavity in her skull is full of emptiness, hollow !
54.  "remarks grossly distorted"...ha,ha..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (03.20.12)
No doubt, ASHton,like Phoenix, expects , to rise from the ashes... of her latest hateful remarks.
55. Since Ms. Ashton makes comments like this ALL the time, her
rachel ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (03.20.12)
backpedalling is merely to cover over her, once again, insenstive remarks about Israel. Like all true anti-Semites and arab apologists, she hates being caught in the act. This is not the first time she has made such incendiary remarks and it will not be the last time. Her appointment by the EU shows they are not serious about peace negotiations, much less good relations with Israelis.
56. Ashton
Spencer ,   Israel   (03.20.12)
What a cheek even suggesting that Ashton's remarks were distorted. She was quoted verbatim. There can be no distortion there. Throw this despicable woman out of her job. She is totally unfit to occupy the position.
57. Only thing we've heard from Ashton herself
rebecca ,   Modiin   (03.20.12)
is the original statement. Later, after the condemnation of that statement, some EU spokesman said it was misunderstood (not misquoted...) and then a statement about the Toulouse shooting was released in Ashton's name -and we are supposed to believe she means it. Bit late. The first and only statement she made is what I conclude she means.
58. Ashton? A TON OF ASH.....................
Nora Tel Av   (03.20.12)
in your mouth........that`s what you are worth. And yet, the antisemitic EU does not kick you out for that.
59. Ashton
Lou ,   sam11@013.net   (03.20.12)
Her mouth is as ugly as her face.
60. Why is the EU FM commenting on domestic French events?
Nissim ,   NYC   (03.20.12)
A) She's out of scope / over reaching B) She's obsessed with Jews and consumed by her anti-Israel hatred C) She's just dumb D) All of the above
