    Israel to have restraint,- thats a good one the arabs are constantly looking to force israel to leave jerusalem and ultimately the whole land .This latest provocation and threat by them is unfounded, just an excuse to continue the violence against jews.There NEVER was a state of palestine or a people with that name Arafat made it up to harass jews and collect money that he pocketed.

    Typical Reuters garbage, with an anti-Israel UN clown to boot.

    Squatting in an area that one claims is NOT violence. You can debate the legality, but it cannot be morally equated with throwing stones, burning cars, ramming pedestrians, or shootings and stabbings.

    The message about refraining from violence needs to be directed at the one party committing it – the Palestinians. They are the bloodthirsty savages, who do not really want land or a civilized life. They are rabidly obsessed with killing Jews, and they need to be either contained or eradicated. Talk to them.

    I believe we all know that the UN is basically a useless organization, serving as nothing beyond a supportive voice for Islamic terror.
