61. And the North Corean regime is not illegal ?
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (01.15.13)
Much nearer to mr. Moon's home, than the WB settlements. Starvation, concentration camps, tyrranic despotism. This is not irritating you, mr Secretary General ?

when was the last time that the arabs settled their differences peacefully? look around yourself and weep.
64. Israel is obstructing the Masterplan
tiki ,   belgium   (01.15.13)
The plan (from the beginning) was to uproot the land of Israel/Jews for more 'lebensraum for Arab Palestinians (while leaving intact all that has been build by the Jews for immediate use by the next owners). When Israel (Jews) isn't complying, the world starts rumbling and gets verbally aggressive (for now). Jews who don't lie down when the EU masters tell them to, is unheard of and not part of the plan!

Justin Bieber will undergo a sex change and call himself Justina Boober, I will win the euromillions THREE times, and martians disguised as meatloaf will invade Silver Bay, Minn, and turn all the residents into gravy. Dream on about your borders, fool.

Allan ,   Brooklyn NY   (01.15.13)
Mr UN whatever your freebie job entitles you to do why are you not saying anything about the more than 60000 innocent persons killed in Syria recently, not a word, that translates to you are a hypocrite. How sad, loud empty words where you feel you can be heard, shame on you , get a life and stop wasting the salary you were hired to do, nothing.
71. # 11 Doug, Show me a law where a victory over an enemy
bad Assed Jew   (01.15.13)
assures the enemy possession of the land won in battle? ( other than Israel, that is ) LOL, if that were the case, America would give back all the lands won over all her enemies as would all nations who now exist who've acquired land by winning wars. Funny dude.
72. # 59, 68
MM ,   US   (01.15.13)
I looked up the word in translations in many of the the languages I can read & understand. Of course, Biblia Sacra Vulgata translates as "Palestinorum", because that is the word those who spoke Latin, ie the Romans, used to refer to that area. However, here are the Italian, French, Spanish, Portugese, and Romanian translations: della Filistea (Conferenza Episcopale Italiana), les districts philistins (La Bible du Semeur), da Filístia (João Ferreira de Almeida Atualizada), and ţinuturile Filistenilor (Cornilescu). Even Luther's translation was der Philister. In case you don't know any of those languages, all the contemporary English translations I have checked, including Amplified Bible, Common English Bible, English Standard Version, GOD’S WORD Translation, New ASB, and New KJV, refer to Philistia. All those are obviously more accurate translations of the original צֹר וְצִידוֹן, וְכֹל, גְּלִילוֹת פְּלָשֶׁת -- I took enough Hebrew to make sure I'm at least able to read the words The Almighty truly said. I believe the exact Hebrew word is פְּלָשֶׁת but everyone else how knows Hebrew, please correct me if I'm wrong. At this point, I hope I don't need to bother even to begin directly answering # 68.
73. #58 Observer.'67 not only defensive war
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (01.15.13)
The war of 1967 had a dual nature;1)it was a defensive war to prevent the Arab League finishing the job it started in 1948 when it illegally invaded,2)it was a war to LIBERATE Israel's territory that was illegally occupied by the Arab League in 1948. By Observer's perverse reasoning,no country would be able to liberate and re-absorb territory illegally occupied by an aggressor.To give concrete examples,by Observer's reasoning,France would have been prevented from liberating Alsace and Lorraine seized by Prussia in 1870 and Britain prevented from liberating the Channel Isles seized by Germany in ww2.That is clear nonsense. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
74. 73, no single world country recognizes West Bank not occupie
(01.15.13)
75. 73,no single world country recognizes West Bank not occupied
observer ,   Egypt   (01.15.13)
and the "liberator" kicks out the natives out of their own land !
76. Jerusalem is never mentioned once in the Torah of Moses
observer ,   Egypt   (01.15.13)
The city is not mentioned specifically in the Pentateuch. Melchizedek, the king of Salem, or Yere as Abraham called it, who was ''priest of God Most High'' (Genesis 14:18), maybe or may not be the monarch of Jerusalem. It WAS long before the priesthood was instituted! what exodus? The discoveries made by the new archaeology discredited a great exodus in the 13th century BC. Moses could not have led the Hebrews out of Egypt into the Promised Land, for the good reason that the latter was Egyptian territory at the time. And there is no trace of either a slave revolt against the pharaonic empire or of a sudden conquest of Canaan by outsiders.
77. #75 observer;Israel liberated Gaza for Gazans
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (01.15.13)
Perhaps observer would like to explain to us what Egypt was doing illegally occupying the Gaza Strip from 1948 until 1967 and why Egypt didn't set up a state there for the 'natives'.And,for that matter why Jordan didn't set up a state for the 'natives' while it illegally occupied the West Bank from 1948 to 1967.Had they done so,the 'natives' would have had precisely the state that they are now demanding more than 60 years ago. That needs some explaining. And while he's about it,perhaps he'll explain why the Arab League forces,including Egypt and Jordan,during their illegal invasion and occupation,expelled all Jews from their home and also expelled more than 800,000 'natives' from their homes to live under apartheid conditions in Lebanon,Jordan,Syria...by orders of the Arab League.And why don't the Arab League countries,including Egypt take responsibility for the mess that their illegal actions created? THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
78. #76 observer.It's mentioned more than once.
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (01.15.13)
Jerusalem is mentioned in the Torah of Moses more than once...but not by that name. Jewish history and tradition doesn't start with the Koran. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
