31. The probe
Nitirootman ,   Canada   (07.07.12)
Folks, don't get so upset . This is another irrelevant activity being advanced by an organization that on a daily basis slips further and further into irrelevance. What should be upsetting all of us is our tax dollars that go to support this morally bankrupt organization.
32. UNHRC go to Syria or to hell.
Gabe ,   Canada   (07.07.12)
The disputed territories are none of their business. Israel's eastern border will be defined by Israel and no one else !
33. No.1 The USA, the country that gave...
Robert ,   Australia   (07.07.12)
...the world Charles Manson, George W. Bush and many other nefarious characters. Your argument that Pakistan gave refuge to bin Laden does not work when one considers the criminals spawned in the US and elsewhere.
34. They are unable to go to Syria because
Artyom ,   Seattle   (07.07.12)
they lack the testicles to enter into that psychopathic, war-torn, cesspool. Instead they choose to go after a (relatively) peaceful and safe democracy, because there's no consequences.
35. Israel building West Bank Arab ghetto, stealing Palestine
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.07.12)
36. israel what is there to hide???
James   (07.07.12)
Deal with issue on hand "settlements" legal or illegal? Does israel stiffel Palestinian freedoms, education, land. Don't compare with Syria, etc. Is that the behavior israel uses as model?
37. Sarah B. et al. never address the point.
J. Robey ,   Austin, Texcas   (07.07.12)
They try to divert attention from the supposed misdeeds of other countries. One would hope that Israel would be able to set a better example than Botswana etc. Insted it acts like Iraq and Iran. They did not want UN inspectors either. The fact of the matter is that international law, the UN, and even the United States do not recognize Israeli soveriegnity over Palestine.
38. UN should probe why Pals reject Jewish majority Israel?
Sam ,   Canada   (07.07.12)
Is it peace everybody is looking for? Then the UN should stop beating around the bush with peripheral issues and probe why Palestinians refuse to accept a Jewish majority Israel as the others have.
39. Dont let them In period
Joe Sombrero ,   USA   (07.07.12)
Simple solution don't let them in arrest them if they inter Israeli areas or attemp to cross the border without permission.
40. UNRHC-Pagan entity
Brod ,   USA   (07.07.12)
Israel should kick out this Pagan entity from intruding in its internal affairs. Judea and Samaria-Land of Israel belongs to Israel since ancient time. Israel liberated its Historic and Biblical Homeland-Land of Israel from the Islamist-Jihadist occupiers in the 20th century. Israel can tell this Pagan entity to go to Hell.
41. As the BUTCHER of syria MURDERS

42. No need
Birdi ,   Israel   (07.06.12)
for them to come here, we already know what their negative answers will be.
43. Israel always complains when its colonialism is questioned.
AlanSmith ,   UK   (07.07.12)
Israel is the last state on the planet to still indulge itself in colonialism and land theft in the name of God, while the rest of the world have embraced independence and democracy. Some might call Israel the jewel of democracy and light of nations, but given its disregard for the Fourth Geneva Convention and International Law, that view is in the minority given its track record on human rights and ethnic cleansing in occupied Palestinian territory.
44. Fact finding MORONS...should I laugh or
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (07.07.12)
cry...Israel should block them from setting foot on its soil !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
45. 4 actually they do!
Gregg ,   Haifa   (07.07.12)
So first get informed then talk
46. If Israel refuses access and denies them entry
Gregg ,   Haifa IL   (07.07.12)
Then the UN should apply severe restrictions on Israel and consider kicking it out from any UN delegation. The united nations cannot be united with such a bully among its officies. Israel has been delegitimazing itself for a while already and it's about time the UN should take serious steps towards its government.
47. UNHRA
John Shreffler ,   Vienna VA USA   (07.06.12)
Come on, give them a little slack. It is their job, so they have to go out and probe stuff. And other countries are just too dangerous. How would you feel if you were chosen, and had to go to Mali or Somalia or Syria? Tell me you wouldn't pull some strings to get to probe a nice Bedouin.
48. Can't imagine why.
Reid Elattrache ,   Washington, USA   (07.07.12)
What good can be said about ethnic cleansing.
49. Save everyone time and release the report now
John ,   NZ   (07.07.12)
50. #9 Max
(07.07.12)
Have you seen the way your "Men in Black", (MIB), treat their women?? I read about it every day here on YNET.
51. Jane #13
(07.07.12)
You mean the hundreds of little home made rockets fired by freedom fighters and rebels into OPEN SPACES! Don't exagerate, Jane. It is so jewish.
52. No need for such a inquiry , nothing to hide !
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.07.12)
The UNHRC has already more than enough "delegates" here , who send all the needed informations to them . This "information" is of course very "objective" , the same "objectivity" we can await from those three . The origin of the problem is the arab unwillingness to accept all the good offers Israel made for a settlement of the problem the arabs by themselve caused .
53. Guts
(07.07.12)
Every ime there is an international investigation into things that Israel has done, up goes the wall. If Israel knows it has done something wrong, committed crimes, or needs to be criticised, its people refuse to co-operate, lest they be exposed, and not shown to be the peaceful god-fearing people they portray themselves to be. Just have some guts, man up, and admit to wrong doings and cop the punishment like the rest of us do. OK???
54. # 37 Mr. Robey
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (07.07.12)
Supposed misdeeds? It's not that Sarah never addresses the point, the problem is that you never get the point.
55. 51
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (07.07.12)
So the only part of Janes post you find fault with is the last sentance. Care to comment on the rest of her post Einstein? Oh wait....Einstein was Jewish. That would so not be you.
56. Any UNHRC probe of Israel is a pre-determined farce !
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (07.07.12)
Have they got a Jewish uncle tom or a Moslem to do their dirty work.?
57. Ignorant sloganeers.1.No international border.UNSCR 242
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (07.07.12)
a legally binding resolution,clearly says the borders are to be negotiarted between the parties. 2.Geneva 4 does not apply,nobody is transferred, Jews RETURNED after Arab ethnic cleansing,by the invading Arab armies. Balfour etc applies. 3.The Arab population in the WB & Gaza is continuously increasing. Want borders? Tell your beloved proletariat to turn up and negotiate not evade and cry victim.
58. ASmith.Brit mecenaries ethnic cleansed the Jews out of the W
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (07.07.12)
WB. Sir John Glubb ( Glubb Pasha & his Brit mercenaries of the Arab legion),fighting for the Emirate of Jordan in 1948. Jews are back,you lose, sour grapes,live with it and get out of Malvinas.
59. ROBERT From the country that gave Aboriginals broken glass
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (07.07.12)
mixed in flour.Alcoholism,the flu,syphyllis,morbid obesity. Insteads of preaching at others, do what you claim others should do. Get out,get off Aboriginal land. Unlike Israel in Israel you have no continuous connection in Australia. Like the Arabs you are the invaders.
60. ART Given UNHRC prejudices,history & behaviour with Israel
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (07.07.12)
That is a seriously dumb question.
