4. "This case damages the credibility of Switzerland"?
Alexander Scheiner ,   Israel   (11.02.17)
Unfortunately, Switzerland has lost much of its credibility. Its a fact, that the leftist and "green" politicians are pro-Falastinian and usually ANTI-SEMITIC. The president of the UNWA is a Swiss, also a notorious ANTI-SEMITE. He was previously with the ICRC, a pure anti-Semitic institution.

The Swiss television, SRF, is notorious pro-Falastinian, anti-Israel and sadly, ANTI-SEMITIC as well. In fact, they produce FAKE-NEWS against Israel.

The correspondent of the once well reputed NZZ, is different. He is not bluntly against Israel, because he likes to live in Israel. But he manages to bring Israel news with anti-Israelism between the lines. Fie!

Fortunately, the current Swiss government has ministers who are pro-Israel, namely BR Uelli Maurer.
5. Switzerland embarrassed

The Swiss neutral?...About as neutral as my "tuchus"
The neutrality extends as far as their own self interest which encompasses just about all and every twist and turn that they make to "NEUTRALISE" any harm to their perception of it.
Swiss hypocrisy is a byword for dishonesty in any moral decision that may be detrimental to their own belief in the righteousness of their standpoint...which is me first and the rest can take a jump.
6. Golan part of Mandate stolen by British given to French
Someone   (11.02.17)
The Golan Heights is part of the Mandate for Palestine and no legal document has disputed the Mandate until this day. So whether Israel conquered it or not is irrelevant as it was illegally passed from British to French hands in the 1920s against the League of Nations Mandate.

Wasn't Switzerland like Germany a place where attacks against Jews were considered anti-Israel and not anti-Semitic? In Germany it was a synagogue firebombed, cant remember in Switz

14. AND NOBODY
FO ,   Belgium   (11.26.17)
And again and again nobody point out that the Golan Heights NEVER were part of Syrian real estate, but part of the Mandate for Palestine that had to become the Jewish independent state. The British ceded the Golan Heights, breaching Article 5 of the Mandate, to the French Mandate of Syria as compensation for having accepted to move the border to include Mossul and its oil fields from Syria into Iraq under British Mandate.
