31. "Palestinians want..........
tiki ,   belgium   (01.26.16)
Well, guess what, we ain't impressed! "Palestinian" frustration is growing under the weight of half a century of "occupation". Well Sir, you might not have noticed, but millions of frustrated Arabs/Syrians/Iraqi's/ Afghans, African & others are sitting being frustrated in camps or storming the continent of Europe and guess what........it has nothing to do with the "occupation" but with shit Arab/Muslim leadership and a paralysed UN which has no money & no solution and therefore has nothing better to do than criticize Israel. Someone should tell this sleepwalking Secretary General that rotten fish starts smelling from the top and that's why he should step down to make place for some capable person to clean out the rotten mess, called the United Nations!
32. Ban Ki Moon????? To the Moon!!!!!

34. OK, BAN KI BABOON! LET'S SAY WE STOP BUILDING
IRANIAN JEW ,   LA USA   (01.27.16)
Will Plais accept Israel? Well, no! Will we want to have ISIS run a country right on our border, no! WE DON'T TRUST THESE GUYS OR THE MUSLIMS TO EVEN RUN A GROCERY STORE LET ALONE A COUNTRY. Their lives has no modern structure, They want to rule everything and everyone. Jews will not be ruled by any other entity anymore.
35. Ban the man called ban
Lydia Himestergough ,   Canada   (01.27.16)
These idiots, oh, I'm sorry, I mean these nimcompoops call this an occupation. They do this willingly because they hate Israel. Israel is to turn a deaf ear to these idiots, well, there I go again, I mean these nimcompoops and put them on permanent ignore.
36. Palestinian violence has nothing to do with "occupation".
Shep ,   Memphis   (01.27.16)
If you look at the violence that the Palestinian populations in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and Jordan have committed against their host countries you would logically come to the conclusion that violence is part of Palestinian culture and has nothing to do with Israel.
37. right on. illegal occupation by genocidal muslim arabs.

38. Aptly named Loony Moony
EZEKIAL HAIM ,   LONDON   (01.27.16)
I bet Loony Moony believes that the rapists in Cologne are reacting naturally to seeing pretty women wearing short skirts, and the 15 year old murderer of the refugee worker in Sweden yesterday was only naturally reacting to seeing a refugee worker at the refugee camp.How about ISIS beheading Westeners ,that is a natural reaction to seeing privileged westeners.Loony Moony has suddenly become a criminologist but who can blame him ,he lives and works in the Loony Moony asylum called the UN.There is pervasive a culture of criminality among the Arab youth that has now spread worldwide within these communities and that needs to be tackled as such.

Please learn to spell before commenting.
40. #18 You did not liberate the people in West Bank
Harri ,   EU   (01.27.16)
Who were the people in West Bank that you liberated in 1967? The claim that you liberated West Bank in 1967 is a sick joke. You are talking about the land, but you can only liberate people. Instead of liberating, you put the people living in West Bank under strict military control. Under Jordan control, those people were not under military occupation. They could move freely in and out of West Bank. They could work and visit their relatives and there were no walls or fences around their villages. You made West Bank and Gaza a big prison camp and you call it liberation. You must be joking.
41. Internationalize Areas
Zola   (01.27.16)
Areas not only in Israel but in other lands need to be Internationalized and be Sanctuary States for refugees from atrocities . In Judea ans Samaria security control by the IDF the USA and Nato the.Norwegians and the Hashemites of Jordan for the Hashemites supported Partition of Mandatory Palestine before the Shoah is Just.
42. #40 Israel liberated West bank
Moshe ,   Israel   (01.27.16)
from Jordan's military occupation in 1948, which included also Jewish settlements. The local Arab inhabitants under Jordan's control were completely free because they have not terrorized kingdom's residences, using the pretext of aspiration for independence, like they do to Israel.
43. UN BAN KI MOON
LINDA BELL ,   SCOTLAND   (01.27.16)
The UN is a joke. Ban is like all the rest of them: a brazen anti-Semite. I'm not Jewish and I fail totally to understand the insanity of people like Ban and his cronies. Israel you are on your own as far as the nations are concerned but you have better than the nations, you have God. Turn to him. Shalom.
44. ISRAEL IS ALSO FUSTRATED
MadDad ,   Johannesburg RSA   (01.27.16)
with the continued intransigence of the Arabs who refuse to negotiate without all their demands being met first, continuous incitement and antisemitism, rammings, stabbings, stones - they just never stop. Should Israelis now start murdering Arabs just cause they are frustrated? Ban seems to thinks so.
45. Un
john ,   toronto   (01.27.16)
The UN property should be seized and it will no longer have offices in Israel.
46. quartet
john ,   toronto   (01.27.16)
Every member of quartet has betrayed Israel. Russia has supplied arms to Syrian rebels, Un blames Israel for rockets, Eu has boycotted settlement products and Us economic system is in shambles. Boycott of these institution by Jews is warrantied. But these have nothing to do with business between members of various faiths. Something is seriously wrong with quartet.
47. #40 You're a liar
A ,   Belgium   (01.27.16)
I lived in a town in Samaria for many years. An arab contractor did some work on my house and we had many conversations. He told me most "palestinians" are actually glad the Israelis are in Judea and Samaria ("when I was a boy, I had no shoes. Now I have my own business and a "belephone") but of course are afraid to say anything. During the Jordanian occupation, his father, who was also a contractor (any arab who can hit a nail with a hammer without bashing his thumb considers himself a contractor) was constantly stopped and his equipment and supplies confiscated (read, stolen) by the Jordanians. Afterwards, the Israelis would stop him but never took anything. There are many stories like this, but as long as people like you keep your heads firmly inserted into a certain part of your own anatomy, you will never hear them.
48. Outsville
dave ,   phila   (01.27.16)
As long as the local Arabs have hope they will murder. Gottah annex and out them.
49. UN Secy. General remarks
Bill Bender ,   Los Angeles, CA   (01.27.16)
For a person with such responsibility, what dumb comments to make. The Palestinians have NEVER accepted Israel's right to exist and have REJECTED all attempts to make deals. Their history may be, in some cases, of participating in talks but never sticking around to finish them, choosing violence instead. Today, there is not even ONE Palestinian government - who is in charge? Is it Fatah, Hamas, or Iran using the others as convenient front groups? The UN is more irrelevant every day.
50. From a leftist, self-hating Jew?
Bertram ,   London, UK.   (01.27.16)
"... the expulsion of the Arabs from Palestine is absolutely impossible in any form. There will always be two nations in Palestine – which is good enough for me...." Vladimir Jabotinsky in 1923.
51. un chiefs remarks
irv ,   los angeles, ca usa   (01.27.16)
What the UN chief is oblivious to is that the Jews have been murdered with impunity since the beginning of time and they will have no more of it. So if you are going to incite your children to attempt to murder Jewish people, prepare them for the consequences. It is on your head.
52. Corrupt organization giving advice to Israel
Benji ,   US   (01.27.16)
We need to "Ban" the UN!
53. Racism of lesser expectation
UR   (01.27.16)
UN chief makes racist assumptions re Palestinians, viewing them as barbarians who can only act in violent ways. Does he think this of his own people? Racism of lesser expectations
54. #47 Jordan gave them citizenship. What did you gave them?
Harri ,   EU   (01.27.16)
If you are looking a liar, you better look into mirror. Among other benefits, Palestinians had citizenship and half of the Jordanian parliament during Jordanian occupation. Give Palestinians right to vote in your elections like Jordan did, and you begin to see more friends than enemies in West Bank. I don't defend Jordanian occupation, because it was as illegal as is Israeli occupation, but people were much happier under Jordanian occupation. If your contractor says otherwise, he says it because you would not make any other orders if he tells you the truth. Contractors don't bother if you want to live in denial.
55. un chiefs remarks
irv ,   los angeles, ca usa   (01.27.16)
