1. Dear Mr. Keyes
Ed ,   USA   (08.30.16)
Dear Mr. Keyes. Netanyahu and his policies distort reality.

You cannot be for two states and erase the other state.
2. Shows The UN has a Poor Grasp of Realities
Michael ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.30.16)
But for anyone who has worked for, or with, the UN, this is nothing new.
UNrealistic
UNaccountable
UNproductive
UNnecessary

When the UN deals with the UNHCR's anti-semitism and UNRWA's 70 years of unrestrained corruption and support for terrorism, then maybe, folks with a brain might give a shit what someone from the UN says.

To calculate the worth of this idiot's statements, divide his salary plus expenses by the gobbledygook spewed by his talking head to find out how much per word this public-trough-gouging useless idiot costs the taxpayer. Taken together with the army of overpaid self-important assholes employed by the UN, it amounts to the world's greatest pissing away of public wealth and goodwill.

The UN has proven itself an obstacle to peace the world over. Time to dissolve it and spend the money on better things, like hospitals, roads, sewage and water treatment plants, and many other things the Palestinians still do not have after 70 years of UN handouts.
3. Israel captured the West Bank and east Jerusalem...
FO ,   Belgium   (08.30.16)
"Israel captured the West Bank and east Jerusalem...from Jordan" ! If an Israeli paper writes such slanderous words, does someone really expect foreigners to be more Catholic than the Pope? By International Law (San Remo and the League of Nations) valid to this very day and reaffirmed by Article 80 of the United Nations Charter, the so called "West Bank", the old city of Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, are a residual part of the "Mandate for Palestine" that gave the Jews the Irrevocable Right to settle anywhere between the Sea and the Jordan River, including the Golan Heights, to create their independent state. Israel didn't capture anything from Jordan. Jordan, born in sin by a British illegal decision, occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem from 1948 till 1967. De Facto,taking into account Article 80 of the UN Charter, all UNGA and UNSC anti-Israeli resolutions may be considered as null and void.
4. The world is covered with settlements
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (08.30.16)
USA,Canada,Mexico,all of South America,the West Indies,Australia,New Zealand,New Caledonia,Jordan,Siberia,Tibet,North Cyprus and so on and so on.All settled by strangers with no previous connection to the places,unlke Jerusalem,Judea and Samaria where Jewish people have lived for millenniums.
