UN News Centre / United Nations Human Rights Council
17-Dec-2008 (45 comments)

Israel’s refusal to allow a United Nations expert to transit to carry out his officially mandated functions in the occupied Palestinian territory, his detention and subsequent expulsion is “unprecedented and deeply regrettable,” the world body’s top human rights official said today.

RE: Hypocrisy is thy name ...

by IraniIrooni (not verified) on

Zion (what a name!) - why shift the argument towards discussing bloodshed/genocide in other countries/regions???? 1) the article is about israel and Palestinians, and 2) as a zionist, I assume that you would never shift the argument away from discussing your special country with your very special, and better-than-everyone people. In fact, in the American media, those things that you mentioned never get talked about. Highlights only include israel.

Its amazing just how clear and transparent insecurity is in most zionists. I guess that's why they call themselves zions, meaning they are better and more special than other, just in case others forget. And insecurity is the biggest driver of hypocrisy. I hope you can either get rid of it or withstand it.

By the way, MERRY CHRISTMAS! I know you special people object to others saying this. Even though I am now seeing more happy hanukka stuff all around the city, than MERRY CHRISTMAS. I do know one thing, no matter how much control AIPAC and israel have over the US foreign policies, this is still NOT a jewish state!

Hypocrisy thy name is...

by Zion on

'You should really try and value EVERY human life, then you'll know that it makes no difference for a human being who the victim is and where he was born.'

Is that the reason? Funny how I don't see a single thing about what North Koreans are going through, Cubans or Somalian tribes who are being wiped out. Evidently where someone is born is important after all, though for some "Americans" and "Iranians" for some reason that place just happens to be Gaza.

Get Real,,,, I wonder..........

Get real you say:
[Israel is there to stay for years and years to come and there ain't nothing you losers can do about it.]

I wonder what would happen if SUPPER POWERS(USA, UK, France, WALL STREET.....) pull out their vast FINANCIAL and MILITARY support from Israel, how long would their GENOCIDAL act would last?????

Get real and get me an estimate.

Knowing how NOBLE Iranians are, we would save you from total annihilation as our forefathers did before.

Don't bet your life on it, unless you don't value it!!! Too late for wipping a nation off the map, Israel will never get away with that crime. Just matter of time, Palestinians are not going anywhere, Zions must get use to the idea of never owning a land (they did look what a mess they created, some people don't deserve it...Khoda khar ro did keh shakhesh nadad..God never allowed them land because they are not worth it, as humans)
Get real.

Israel is there to stay for years and years to come and there ain't nothing you losers can do about it.

I suggest you tell your Palestinian pals to cool it and after sixty years get used to the idea of living side by side with Israelis.

The interest!

by Ajam (not verified) on

Dear IR, indeed it feels like a task force trying to forbid Iranians from commenting on the Israeli/Palestinian issue, let alone expressing sympathy with Palestinians! God forbid, that would be an "Arab, terrorist-supporter, Islamofascist, evil" at work!

Apparently, when Cyrus the Great invaded babylon to free the then enslaved Jews, it was the right thing to do, but expressing opinions on Israel's maltreatment of Palestinians in 21st century is taboo and so "unIranian"!!!

RE: Israel-Palestinian issue is no concern of real Iranians in I

by IraniIrooni (not verified) on

Mr. (or Ms.) Get Real - we're just responding to and/or commenting on the story that was posted. It was about israel and the Palestinians. It appears that you yourself are more biased than anyone else that you accuse. I would recommend that you ... "get real."

By the way, from an American standpoint, I think we have a huge need for that $4 billion per year that our tax money goes to israel, which then creates additional costs for us, accompanies by basically free military equipment that we give it. So, as a citizen and a voter, I'd like to see my tax $ allocated to what I'd refer to as necessities for the UNITED STATES of AMERICA, which does NOT have a 51st state of israel.

I should hand it to mullahs and admit that they are a 1000 times smarter, more cunning and a whole lot more intelleigent than all of you western educated multilingual masters Phd holding fools put together.

You do not even see how they have successed to brainwash you to act, talk and think just like they want you to.

What a terrible terrible shame! I feel sorry for Iran.

Out of 10 threads in this site alone, at least 5 or 6 on the average revolve around Israeli-Palestinian issues every day!

If

by Abarmard on

The Human Rights Council notices wrong doing of IRI, USA, and Israel based on their actions, why shouldn't you be able to do the same?

Human Rights are not mutually exclusive events.

 


IRANdokht

you get real

by IRANdokht on

who's not paying attention to Iranian's problems? are we supposed to be suffering from some sort of short attention span that if we speak of Palestanians suffering we'd forget about our own people? 

You should really try and value EVERY human life, then you'll know that it makes no difference for a human being who the victim is and where he was born. IRI government is a problem, it's causing a lot of humanitarian problems in Iran no doubt about it. But and that's a big BUT: it does not reduce the suffering of other human beings to an insignificant level.

I feel truly sorry for people who think that speaking up against criminals should be relative to their locations and relations.

Are you saying that the 24 hour futile discussions and beatings of your chests on an Iranian forum will resolve the 60 year old "painful problem of people suffering there (both sides)"? Oh boy!

p.s. rest assured mullahs will never have any shortage of excuses to justify their actions. They're quite resourceful.

To Iranian reader: Mullah khamenei thinks Iran worships him

by Get real (not verified) on

"Iranians for the most part long ago took interest in Palestine and Palestinians not just because bani adam a'zaye yekdigarand but also because we happen to be a closely situated 'ozv... Noamsayin? "

Why? Iranian Sunni Kurds, Baluchis, and other muslims suffering in the world like Chehchens are not 'ozv', only Sunni Palestinians are?!!

Yes those with pot bellies, lots of money in their pockets and a hand in the same bowl that the ruling oligarchy are eating from, their cronies and/or those expatriates living comfortably in the West, who out of boredom go to chat on different web sites just to kill time are those so called Iranians you must be talking about. Definitely not the average Hassan, Taghi, fatemeh.

You and your ilk are the petentious wisful thinkers who want to convey and perpetuate this crappy delusion that all Iranians eat, think, and sleep is Palestine and nothing else.

Lunatic attitude

by Hajminator on

It’s not because you say another truth than mullahs are evils that you become a lackey agha joon! it's because of such lunatic attitudes that we have evils on the top of our head now.

If you don’t want to understand that the problem of mullahs and what’s going on in Israel are untimely related you’ll never understand what's the problem, at all. Mullahs hide themselves behind injustice that Palestinians are really enduring. You can not find a single foreign discourse, in which they don’t make an allusion on these events. Have you asked yourself why? Mullahs don’t care of anybody than their self-being, so why are they claiming these injustices for Sunnites that even Saudis don’t mind? It’s just because they are looking for Hamas, Hezbollah and others from these countries to defend them, in the case where they get attacked. That’s so simple than that.

Israelis have the right to leave in the country they’ve been born as well as Palestinians. But, till the painful problem of people suffering there (both sides) is not resolved all you can do to comfort your conscience as being an anti-Mullah is to come on this site and type 2-3 paragraphs a day.


Iranian Reader

Hmmm, I've noticed...

by Iranian Reader on

that whenever there's some mention of Israel or Palestinians a couple of anonymous commentators show up either urging or claiming that Iranians shouldn't or don't care about it because "it is not an Iranian problem." Well... whoever yous is or are, you must know that you're wishful thinking. Iranians for the most part long ago took interest in Palestine and Palestinians not just because bani adam a'zaye yekdigarand but also because we happen to be a closely situated 'ozv... Noamsayin?

To Dear Irandokht

by Get real (not verified) on

There is also another proverb saying:

cheraghi keh be khaneh ravaast beh masjed haram ast

First Iranians should be converned about putting their own house in order and helping themselves (which they certainly are in Iran) then think about helping others with their problems.

If you have visited Iran, and even only Tehran recently, you know what I am talking about and NO I am not talking about Zafaranieh or Fereshteh neighborhoods of Tehran ONLY. You see so much poverty that is truly shameful and beneath contempt for a country which has the third largest oil reserves and 2nd largest gas reserves in the world.

If you just take a taxicab ride to anywhere, the driver and the passengers will tell you what is important to them even if you do not ask them and believe me it is not Palestine or Israel.

Israel-Palestinian issue is no concern of real Iranians in Iran

by Get real (not verified) on

Average Iranian Hassan and Taghi in Iran are worried about making ends meet on a daily basis.

Their number one concern and priority in life is and has always been a decent job, a home, and a family.

They could not care about Israelis, Palestinains or their problems with one another. They just want to have a decent life like the rest of the people of the world.

The problem with mullahs and their lackeys here and there is that they are completely unable/unwilling to provide the basic necessities of a decent life for Iranian people since they do not even care about Iran or Iranians. All they care about is power and Iran's oil/gas revenues PERIOD

Zion ...

by IranIrooni (not verified) on

The argument of "rocket attacks" is getting old, which is good. Many are now analyzing this israel issue by asking the question WHY? And the answer, after reading about the history of that so-called country, is that the Palestinians want their homes back. We're not talking about thousands of years ago, we are talking about only around 40-45 years ago. In the US, if a stranger walks into my home and the police and other law enforcers refuse to help me protect it from this guy that has no right to invade my home, then actually I have the right to protect it myself. We can have guns here and we can tell people "get the f*** off my land or I will shoot."

Palestinians have been driven to the extreme. That's the answer to the big WHY question. And israel knows it, but it is presenting this issue in a very different way to the world. Europe knows it too. Its only the US that continues to play lovie-dovie with israel.

So, by knowing the real problem, and knowing that its actions will be tough to justify, israel is doing the next best thing - creating that genocide of the Palestinians from within the Palestinian communities. It feeds with one hand and rips it away with the other. But all that israel is feeding is the continuing cycle of violence. The land that it gives back, according to the so-called peace agreements, is infested with the settlers that israel knows will not get out! It gives back Gaza on one side and the Westbank on the other ... how can a broken up Palestine, geographically speaking, operate???? And those lands are only a fraction of what it took away initially.

You think israel didn't know that hamas would get 'elected'? Of course it did. It also knew that by bringing Hamas to power, it would create a big divide within the Palestinians themselves ... and as we have seen, the rest is history. Israel is certainly executing its 'internal-genocide' strategy successfully ... with the US (our tax money) paying for it all!
