1. The U.N. is evil. Lets deal with reality!
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.07.16)
The U.N.'s response to Bibi is totally predictable. The U.N. has no interest in the truth. Its purpose is to serve tyrants and terrorists, while plotting to establish a world government and rule the world. They call this "global governance" among other things. The U.N. is evil. Lets deal with reality! Good people are planning to end the U.N. Israelis should join and help them.
2. Bibi's lessons would it be based on historical facts
Facts   (05.07.16)
No moses, no exodus, no first temple, no passover, no david, a small insignificant desert kingdom that lasted a mere two hundred years. a people that disappeared during the first century and a new population of eastern europeans.
3. this is what he does
jay   (05.07.16)
this is what bibi does-give history lessions to UN officials who refuse, ask abbas to condemn his terrorists, and beg the US to hit iran. This is all he does. on his own in security, he does next to nothing,s tanding around without a clue. and he is some war leader!!!!! give me a break, he is incompetent just like olmert, livni and peres when it comes to security. this is why he offers oncessions all the time because he is scared of taking action. this is not some anomoly, israel continues to prodduce these weaklings. israel needs to come up with a steady fight to the last man like nasrollah who is had and shoulders superior in fighting skill to most of israel's leaders, most of whom shrink from any sort of fight.
4. A boot size 12 in the ass is what PM should've offered these
(05.07.16)
obnoxious Jihad-lovers !
5. Nickolay Mladenov and the rest of UNESCO must enjoy
A ,   Belgium   (05.07.16)
walking around with their heads stuck deep into a certain part of their own anatomies. At least they won't have to duck when truth smacks them in the face like a 2kg. hammer.
6. Sadly, they missed the history lesson...
Beary White ,   Norway   (05.07.16)
... but after all, they probably know their pagan god allah is the god of death and terror.
7. Mob Rule
Zola   (05.07.16)
The UN is a mob rule organisation although pushed by the USA and West performs Rescue operations in horrific disasters like the Haiti Earthquake The Nepalese Earthquake the Dec26 2004 Tsunami and the casualties from the civil wars in Syria Iraq and Yemen The Huge majority of Support for the Humanitarian mission is from about Ten member States who have little input in the mob rule decisions about historical distortions and lies .
8. hISTORY with Bibi.......
ME ,   Israel   (05.07.16)
.. ..That is really a horrible nightmare!!!
9. KICK THE UN OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.07.16)
10. # 9 YES!! when obama's gone.
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (05.08.16)
11. "Pontius Pilate"
(05.08.16)
The historical lessons of Pontius Pilate as Roman governor of Judea will appeal to them. Pontius Pilate that washed his hands in the trial and crucifixion of Jesus Christ will appeal to them. The lesson to taught them the exact judgment hall of Pontius Pilate will appeal to them. The Dome of the Rock; was that not the judgment throne of Pontius Pilate where he sat in the trial of Jesus Christ??? The mirror effect. They can't look their faces in the mirror so it might be easier to put Moslem mosque in the place of Pontius Pilate judgment hall. I think I gave a very good historical history lesson here!!! Clapping!
12. # 2, facts?? Don't make me laugh!
Jake   (05.08.16)
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the "David never existed" argument crashed and burned years ago, when the Tel Dan stele, an Old Aramaic inscription, dating to 841 BCE was discovered in the far north of Israel. It specifically notes the conflicts of the Aramaean kingdom with Israel, specifically with the "House of David". Can't have a House of David without David. The Solomonic Temple design and dimensions described in the Bible match almost exactly other temples in the region from the same era, for example in Ugarit in Syria. That design was no longer used in later eras. The so-called "insignificant desert kingdom" of Judah was the only state in the region to survive the Assyrian onslaught. The Jews of Judea did not disappear after the destruction of the 2nd Temple. They either relocated to the Galilee, or to various parts of the Roman Empire, including the city of Rome itself. DNA research has linked today's major Jewish populations, including the Ashkenazim, to the Levant, not to "eastern Europeans", and thoroughly debunked the "Khazar theory". You are certainly free not to believe the events in the Bible and to dismiss the Jewish narrative as "myths". But never forget, those "myths" have been the bedrock of Jewish belief for thousands of years before a motley group of Arabs started referring to themselves as "palestinians" and creating for themselves national myths of their own.

14. 4 my fellow TBers in need, sending out the Archangel Arariel
Jew-C ,   JewLandia (Israel)   (05.08.16)
Arariel according to the Rabbis of our Talmud is charged with watching over the waters of the earth as well as curing those who suffer from stupidity!
15. Well said Nickolay Mladenov, well said!
Sally Forth ,   Israel   (05.08.16)
16. Sallt Forth #15, let me guess, he's your boss?

17. Too bad
US citizen ,   US   (05.09.16)
the subject of it's religion is not known as well. Humanity is at risk from humanity, thanks be to the One who is more than mere human and able to preserve.
18. UN resolution
Proud American ,   Tampa,Florida   (05.11.16)
They turn down a lesson because they might learn something for a change. Those who do not study history will repeat the same old mistakes over and over.
