You did not get it! ANY report from UNHRC towards Israel are biased. The islamic cult has got the grip especially on this organization. Then the result from this report can be summerized like ANY report from political leftist and islamic followers,; anti-Israel. What abouth a report from the same delegegation f they were to visit Libya, Egypt, Iran, Irak, Sudan, Mali, Nigeria?? In your eyes the outcome will satisfy you, there is no mistreathment of the non-islamic people, who do NOT play on the same side as islamic rulers in these countries??. People are dying in thousands, but UNHRC pinpoint Israel, who actually treath arabs BETTER than in your friends in the islamic countries.
62. Why does Israel think it owns....
Robert ,   Australia   (07.07.12)
.....the land on which they build settlements, after all the majority of Israelis don't look like Arabs?

Actually I can find fault with all of Jane's post. See my post @#53, "Einstein"!
64. GOOD FOR ISRAEL
Bad Ased Jew ,   United States   (07.07.12)
I wouldn't let these beasts into my home either. Stop the nonsense over Israel and get down to brass tacks, the real culprits here aren't the Israeli's it's the arabs and their blood letting of their own people.

the pals can't admit that, defeat isn't a verbal reality for them, they live off lies, death and idiocy. When the international 'welfare' checks end, so will the reality of the phony 'pals' that have nothing for they are nothing.

Bad Ased Jew ,   United States   (07.07.12)
They aren't allowed to enter Israel thank G-d!
67. # 39 Brod they wont be allowed to enter into Israel.
Bad Ased Jew ,   United States   (07.07.12)
That's a good first step.
68. # 35 LOL Ah poor Steve Israel can't steal what's hers.
Bad Ased Jew ,   United States   (07.07.12)
life is going to get a whole lot more unpleasant for you and your 'invented people." After obama loses, ROMNEY will aid Israel by exerting more power over to Israel whom he loves. ( as do we, the American People) The only reason the pals remain is luck which is running out quickly.)

Bad Ased Jew ,   United States   (07.07.12)
What they want and what they get are two very different things. israel wont cooperate and wont allow them in to which I say, HALLELUJAH! One way to keep the trash out of Israel.

Bad Ased Jew ,   United States   (07.07.12)
strange you'd choose these men as examples. My, my, why not also include the 3,000 lives lost by ben ( dead) ladin? IS he your hero? Or, the over 14,000 dead Syrians or, the millions of dead in Somalia, or Sudan. Then too, there are the dead from the arab spring. Pakistan and Afghanistan will be broke when our troops leave. They are notorious for murdering US troops. Strange priorities you have there jacko! Care to explain the 'logic and compassion' your government had when they took so many aborigines children from their parents in order to 'christianize' them? Please, your land is more polluted with England's nasties than an unwashed hooker at a UN convention.
71. UNHRC should probe itself before others
ygalg ,   israel   (07.07.12)
72. Israel is guilty! Guilty of surviving.
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (07.07.12)
And that is what is pissing of the Arabs and their Antisemitic sponsors aided and abetted by Jews hating Jews! This is another example of the UN wasting money that could be used to better the plight of the starving in Africa and other parts of the world. The Arabs are crying out for the UN to do something about the carnage in Syria but the UNHRC has taken the time to once again bash Israel by sending "a fact finding mission" to investigate Israel which, to all extent and purposes, has already decided that Israel is guilty. Once again Israel is the international whipping boy while human rights are constantly violated in China, Chinese Occupied Tibet, Russia and many other countries. Additionally the spineless Obama Administration reversed the Bush Administration's boycott of the UNHRC. Well done Barack HUSSEIN Obama! Israel can really count on you to stab us in the back like to did to Mubarak.
73. If we have nothing to hide we have nothing to fear
Sarah B (No not her)   (07.07.12)
Lieberman is making a great mistake in not co-operating with the UNHCR. Have we learnt nothing from The Goldstone Report? If we are not doing anything wrong, why not co-operate and show how we are improving Palestinian lives, and even compare how Palestinians in the territories have lives comparable with Israelis in Israel proper, with freedom of movement, the right to vote for representatives to the knesset, that Milk and honey is pumped direct to their villages. Lieberman is a walking talking example of an idiot who should never of achieved the reins of power.
74. I tell you what to do!
Joseph ,   Malta   (07.07.12)
when they arrive at the airport, let some one with authority meet them. Then drive them to the Golan, and drop them in Syria...what do you think?
75. Question to J. Robey #37
Arn ,   Yehud, Israel   (07.07.12)
What countries recognized the West Bank as Jordanian territory? The UN refused to recognize Jordanian sovereignty over the West bank! Look it up. The West Bank, or any part of it, was never Jordan's to "give" to the Jordanian's living there. And because the Jordanian armies attacked Israel from this territory (and subsequently lost it) international law supports Israel's claim to the land. These are facts. Just look them up.
76. stop funding UNHCR
Rudi ,   Belgium   (07.07.12)
With all this negative attitude towards Israel I cannot understand why the USA and Israel are still contributing to the fundings of this failure with the name UNHCR?
77. Well now ya' see,...there's
Gideon Reader   (07.07.12)
...passive refusal to participate and aggressive refusal of particpate. I personally kind of like the creative chllenges that can be utilized by the aggressive refusal option. In fact i would pay good money to spend a month or so making these UN weasels (apoligies to weasels world wide for the comparisons) lives miserable while they are on their "fact finding trip". I am warm and toasty just considering the possibilities.
78. #35 No more experienced land stealer
A ,   Belgium   (07.07.12)
than you, Benazzi. When you give YOUR country back to the Native Americans that it was stolen from, than you may talk. Until than, drink a glass of warm moose milk and SHUT UP!
79. # 63 I saw the post at # 53
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (07.07.12)
I have no way of knowing if it was yours since you are not creative enough to come up with a name. As it was more garbage I suppose it could very well have been yours.
80. Disgusting.....
JewSupporter ,   india   (07.07.12)
You should ban them not because you have anything to hide but "because they undermine your sovereign existence as a nation". The hypocrites and islamist-supporters are such cowards they dare not enter Syria where the innocents are murdered daily.
81. to 37 and 43 you just don't want to
Barney ,   USA   (07.07.12)
see there IS no palestine. it is Jews who lived in this land. it is Jews that have the land. it will ALWAYS be Jews that have the land. if the arabs who live there don't come around to the fact then the Jews will have ALL the land. hopefully soon. It is a fact and a great one. arabs should be happy they have more freedom in the land of the Jews than say syria?
82. Richard Falk thinks 9/11 was an inside job by George Bush
Ed Frias   (07.07.12)
Richard Falk is a radical truther who thinks Bush was behind 9/11 Falk published a pictures last year of a vicious dog with a Start of david on it. Falk denied his posted it, but then had to admit he posted it. The picture shows the genocidal hate Falk has for Israel. Falk says nothing about the thousands of missles Hamas fires at Israeli civilians from Gaza. Falk says nothing about the Barbaric Palestinian terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians. Falk says nothing about Palestinians naming streets after Palestinian homicide bombers who massacred Israeli civilians. Just google Palmediawatch. Falk said last week that Marwan Barghouti was some type of non violent peace maker. . Barghouti is a typical Palestinian mass murderer of Israeli civilians. Barghouti is a sadist who even murdered a monk in 01. Its good to know Palestinian fascists are people Falk looks up to. The following are some of the more heinous terror attacks for which Marwan Barghouti is responsible: Jun 12, 2001 – The murder of a Greek Orthodox monk on the road to Ma’ale Adumim. Jan 17, 2002 – The shooting attack during a bat mitzva celebration at a banquet hall in Hadera. Six Israelis were killed in this attack, 26 were injured. Jan 22, 2002 – The shooting spree on Jaffa Street in Jerusalem. Two Israelis were killed, 37 wounded. Feb 25, 2002 – The shooting attack in the Jerusalem residential neighborhood of Neve Ya’acov. One Israeli policewoman was killed, 9 Israelis were wounded. Feb 27, 2002 – The murder of an Israeli at a coffee factory in the Atarot industrial zone of Jerusalem. Feb 27, 2002 – The suicide attack perpetrated by Daryan Abu Aysha at the Maccabim checkpoint in which two policeman were injured. Mar 5, 2002 – The shooting spree at the Tel Aviv Seafood restaurant. Three Israelis were killed, 31 wounded. Mar 8, 2002 – A suicide terrorist was killed in Daheat el Barid as he was on his way to carry out an attack in Jerusalem. Mar 27, 2002 – The interception of an ambulance and the confiscation of an explosive belt which was being smuggled from Samaria into Barghouti’s terrorist infrastructure in Ramallah. Marwan Barghouti was also directly responsible for operating the terrorist cell of Raed Karmi in Tulkaram which carried out a series of deadly terrorist attacks.
83. #51 Rockets packed with explosives
Cynthia ,   USA   (07.07.12)
Thousands of rockets and bombs have been fired by cowardly Palestinian terrorists. They are unguided so some fall in fields, others on homes, schools, cars etc. They try to create fear and destruction, then cry like babies when Israel fires back at them. Jane got it right.
84. No need for useless UN to visit
Cynthia ,   USA   (07.07.12)
What Israeli settlements provide Palestinians is well known. They provide them with jobs. Israel has always been the primary labor market for the Palestinians. They do more for the Palestinians than the Palestinian leadership.

shalmon ,   beer sheva   (07.07.12)
israel has nothing to do with palestinian education. it is under complete control of the palestinian authority,unfortunately.
86. reid, how is it ethnic cleansing
yarden biton ,   haifa   (07.07.12)
if the palestinian population tripled itself in the last 50 years?
87. The truth shall set you free
Kraig Richard ,   Shelburne Vermont US   (07.07.12)
Perhaps this council uncovers truths about human rights violations on a scale no longer acceptable to civilized societys, and Israel's people start demanding a halt to their leaders reckless and inhumane treatment of those tribes of Palestine
88. To: No. 87
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.07.12)
Well, in that case, here's some truth for you: 1. The ersatz "Palestinians" could have had a state at the same time the modern State of Israel was established. They rejected partition in favor of going to war, and one day after the birth of the modern State of Israel, five Arab armies attacked. They thought they would win. They didn't. This did not keep them from starting five more wars, all of which they lost. Nor has anything managed to keep them from engaging in seven decades of unrelenting terror against the Jewish people, both in Israel and in the Diaspora. Why would you think that the ersatz "Palestinians" deserve so many bites at the apple? Why rewrite long-standing international convention and statute by creating a wholly separate set of rules for Israel than those which exist for every other sovereign state? It is time for the ersatz "Palestinians" to suck it up and move on. 2. Reckless and inhumane treatment? Are you on drugs? The West Bank that greeted Israel in 1967 had one of the highest infant mortality rates in the world. There was no infrastructure -- including no sewage system, which accounted for the perennial outbreaks of cholera that killed tens of thousands. Only 30% of the homes had indoor plumbing. A little less than that had electricity. There were no roads. Unemployment was high; inflation was higher. There was only one hospital. There were no medical clinics. Israel fixed all those problems, and then some. Within a year, infant mortality rates were comparable to those of Israel -- among the lowest in the world. Schools and universities were built; modern agricultural techniques were taught; high-paying jobs in Israel were there for the asking. Some "human rights violations," eh? Of course, now that the ersatz "Palestinians" have the autonomy they begged for, the Arab sectors of the West Bank have gone back pretty much to where the West Bank was prior to Israel's acquisition of non-sovereign Judea and Samaria in the course of fighting a defensive war against Jordan -- despite the billions of dollars and billions of euros that have poured into the coffers of the ersatz "Palestine" Authority on an annual basis since the Oslo Accords. The worst abusers of human rights in Judea and Samaria are the ersatz "Palestinians." Or don't you think that seven decades of violence and terror visited against the Jewish people count?
89. To: No. 51
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.07.12)
The law looks to intent, not efficacy. Where the missiles land is irrelevant -- the crime occurred the instant a missile was fired. You really are willfully ignorant. That's so goyish.
90. #70 Why don't I include....
Robert ,   Australia   (07.08.12)
.....the hundreds of thousands innocent lives for which your evident hero, George W. Bush is responsible? Bin Laden is innocent in comparison.
