Nadya ,   California, USA   (03.29.14)
The US should not have voted for Israel on it's treatment of the Palestinians, the world knows they treat the Palestinians poorly. If the US is the peace broker why take sides? The US should have abstained.
4. Only the US?
Maurice ,   Montreal   (03.29.14)
What about Canada? The Harper government is a staunch supporter and friend of Israel. It;s hard to believe Canada voted for the resolution! Something is wrong about this report or some information is missing....
5. End absurdity by ending U.N. funding.
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.29.14)
Western nations could quickly end the U.N. absurdity by ending funding for the U.N.
6. This is why the world is soon very messed up!
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (03.29.14)
The focus on the hate of the Jews and Israel, whilst the Arabs slaughter, control and cheat each other. The U.S.should leave the useless nations(U.N.) and not give a cent to them.
7. UN
nadine shenkar ,   JERUSALEM   (03.29.14)
instead of focus on ISRAEL. try to deal with the dead in syria, soudan, somalia, death penalties in iran and egypt, death and violence and barbarism in all arab countries the UN attitude has , is and will always be disgusting

No it does not speak for it self moron-it speaks volumes that US stands alone to support the greatest anti terror country in the world.You are the stupidest poster on this site bar none.
10. No resolution about Libya wanton murder by Obama in sight...
Miron ,   USA   (03.29.14)
11. All liberal democracies still at the UNHRC ought to get up
N.L.Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (03.29.14)
and walk away from this disgusting agency of the UN, leaving this club of anti-Jewish racists to debate among itself and sustain the club without the money of the free world. Not doing so will amount to a cynical view of the world as we face it!!
12. UN Human Rights Farce
Benji ,   US   (03.29.14)
Afraid to do their job so they pick on Israel. They operate on auto pilot to avoid alienating true human rights violators like Syria and Iran. Disband this corrupt organization already!
13. only the US? To Maurice in Montreal
rob ,   israel   (03.29.14)
The reason why Canada is not there is because of Israel in the first place. A while ago while new seats on the security council were up for grabs Canada voted with Israel on some issues of the day and this caused Canada to fall out of favor amongst the voting body in the UNSC. It was the fact that Canada supports Israel so staunchly, in the first place, that lost Canada its ability to vote on such nonsense like this that happens at the UNSC. Look it up. Google it. It won't take you long. The Harper government got some heat over the issue in Canada. You should try to remember your history.

Where are all the Israeli Obama haters now? The US is the only country in the world that defends Israel no matter what, but these clowns beat up on Obama left and right. Typical arrogant Israeli behavior. They beat Obama up left and right, but never say thanks for the billions and the unwavering protection in the UN.

Pardon me, but you are out of line. No way is Rob's post condescending towards Maurice. Maurice gives Rob a perfect explanation, no less, no more.

Bingo ! Gratefulness it's not exactly a part of their vocabulary or mind set, backstabbing is their trademark ,... Obama is a slow learner ,...

The more i read these posts, the more I hope my country dumps Israel. Israelis have zero appreciation for anything the United States does for them and are whiney little pissants. I can't believe it. Here is a little clue...when most of the world is telling you how screwed up you are, you just might be screwed up...and injustices in other parts of the world does not give Israel "carte blanche" to perpetrate their own. That is a playground mentality.
