1. Years of Hate take Time to Dispel
Zechariah   (12.30.14)
Too Fast and too Vast . A Withdrawl will not happen .Its Ironic its about Three Thousand Square Kilometre of Land Historically highly Charged Land at this Time .Turkey is 783,562 square kilometres Afghanistan 652,864 sqkilometres Pakistan 803 ,940 sq Kilometres .So Security is Paramount for the Jews .
2. David Cameron....
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (12.30.14)
is NOT Tony Blair. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
3. Nothingyahu to blame for this
Brian ,   London   (12.30.14)
oes nothing. Presents no initiative of his own. Thumps his chest. Does nothing and gets Israel in to more and more of a weak position. and then does nothing. Roll on March 2015...
4. Congratulations and good luck ,...
split   (12.30.14)
5. Where are the occupied terroritories?
roxanne ,   israel   (12.30.14)
Europe?
6. Israel needs to remember this vote
Howard Immanuelson ,   US   (12.31.14)
the next time that China, Russia, or France wants something.
7. Waste of time
Arnold ,   Loma Linda, U.S.A.   (12.31.14)
Much to do about nothing.
8. Un Vote
Robert ,   Australia   (12.31.14)
Had this vote been taken two days later it would have passed with the US veto.
9. Palestinians vs Israelis
Philip Barnet ,   London , UK   (12.31.14)
I think that by now Palestinians and Israelis should take a break and think really if it is worth living under siege , wars , terror acts and bad people treatment. The world is one big country and everybody has the right to live on it as he pleases respecting the law and his neighbors. Jews have suffered enough. Let's not repeat history using Palestinians, they are entitled to live in peace , respect , happiness and for a better future.
10. The 67 borders in 2014
MadDad ,   Johannesburg RSA   (12.31.14)
If it's the 67 borders they want - what was wrong with these borders in 67 when they rejected them? Oh it's the 48 borders they want - what was wrong with these borders in 48 when they rejected them?
11. Vote yes will turn UNSC in impotent organization.
Miron ,   USA   (12.31.14)
Israel will not subscribe to prescribed solution and a precedent of UNSC being ignored will destroy US aspirations at legal fig leaf for world hegemony. They can't loose world over Israel. They will never have world, either. Israel, however, should be working on extending Iron Dome capabilities with laser weaponry. Positive experience of shield over nation reinforces not so much technology but very idea, that nation with powerful shield can persist and induct peace against hostile opponents attempting war. One defeated missile at a time.
12. There must be some kind of reaction...
Beary White ,   Norway   (12.31.14)
... against abu masen and the PA.!!! Why let this self-proclaimed leader do as he like, to smear the State of Israel.? And MOST for his statement ;" there will be no jew in Palestine.."..and his "denial" of Holocaust. Israel should start some payback, annex Judea and Samaria as a proper land of Israel and stop all discussion once and for all.
13. #6
maurice ,   montreal   (12.31.14)
Arjentina and Chile as well!
14.  China, France, Russia, Argentina, Chad, Chile, Luxembourg
k ,   US   (12.31.14)
all want to see the Jews and the Israelis weaken and are the enemies of the Jews and the Israelis anywhere
15. This for a people
David ,   New England   (12.31.14)
A state for a people where videos like "how to Stab a Jew" are very popular in the social media?
16. World NOW needs proof that Israel is 4 peace with security.
Michael ,   California, USA   (12.31.14)
Israel almost lost it in the UN and it cannot afford to continue the old policies of occupation. If Israel will not make a clear and unambiguous move toward the 2-states solution NOW, Israel will lose the UN completely, including losing the US and Australia. The majority of Israelis want peace not territories, want a culturally cohesive state not an apartheid state. The Centrist parties need to come up with an agenda for peace with security that the majority of Israelis will support. The Centrist victory in the next elections will fix many problems which have plagued Israel since its creation. Time for the majority of Israelis to take the initiative for peace and vote for it in March.
17. Bibi is building in Yesha
TOMER ,   IL   (12.31.14)
Soon, there will be more Jews than Arabs in Yesha. We must keep building!
18. Some sanity remains in this world - do we dare to hope ?
barbara ,   Haifa   (12.31.14)
19. #3 Brian: Nothingyahu is very busy!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (12.31.14)
He is doing everything to sell Israel out to the extreme right wing at the expense of majority of Israelis. He has failed to deport all the "Illegals" from Islamic Africa who will pose a huge danger to Israelis. He is pouring money into the "Territories" while people are dying because the health system is collapsing, children are getting a second rate education and the elderly and more than a million children are living below the poverty line! He has destroyed the Likud and turned it into a party of hatred and racism. He has pushed ou the Old Guard of the his party which was built by Jabotinsky and Begin who must be rolling over in their graves! Also, he is so busy that he has no time to get psychiatric help for his acute paranoia of losing the election! Very busy man our Prime Minister!
20. Remember the Five Abstentions
emanon ,   USA   (12.31.14)
If just ONE of those had changed to a "Yes" it would have been a disaster for Israel. If more of them had voted "No" it would have been a stronger message.
21. Happy end to Bibi's struggle
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (12.31.14)
This night celebrate with a glass of wine or two ,to Israel's, with G-D's help, enlightened future. Instead of celebrating dead drunk, decadent Western new year .
22. One wonders
US citizen ,   US   (12.31.14)
what was the sequence of the votes. Did US vote after the res was defeated or was there a chance res passed after US no, rather than veto, vote? With this res this close how will it be changed to ensure the next res passes. If I am Israel I am not counting on humans.
23. You can't speak for Israeli's or for Jews.
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (12.31.14)
You want a 'two state solution' ? Fine, as long as it isn't in Israel. California, okay. Got your green card?
24. # 21 Bottoms up!
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (12.31.14)
Smiling is celebrating too and, man am I smiling.
25. 24 Keep smiling.
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (12.31.14)
