Posted in: Bolton: U.S. should quit U.N. Human Rights Council

The U.S. should not pull out of the UNHRC but should cancel all funding of this committee until it becomes a fair and balanced organization. The funding should be cancelled and not just withheld until in the future it can be donated once again.

Posted in: Goldstone's motivation

Why should Israel have provided Goldstone with excuse that we spoke with representatives of Israel when publishing his "fair" report? It has been reported that when Israeli individuals met with Goldstone and his cohorts, they were treated discourteously and one woman who testified about the situation in Sderot, reported that Goldstone could not stay awake during her testimony. Goldstone should be treated as the pariah he is.

Posted in: Abbas the collaborator

Heilman should not eat the mushrooms he collects. If it wasn't the mushrooms, the author should take a basic course in Journalism and one in Logic. His article would fit a lot better as a reply in Haaretz.

Posted in: NCJW, Reform urge Senate GOP to move nominees through

Posted in: Jewish groups, clerics back Obama peace efforts

There is no doubt that almost all Jews want peace. It is just a matter of how the peace will take place, what the guarantees are that it will be a true peace actually happening or just false signatures on a piece of paper. As to the list of organizations supporting Obama and his vision of peace, there is an old Hebrew refrain, "Mah nishtanah?" The VAST majority of Israelis have little or no faith in Obama as one who can be trusted to preserve the State of Israel as an independent Jewish State.
