1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."

Bayefsky is a clown. The Goldstone Report did not mention any political party either Israeli or Palestinian.
The Goldstone Report was flawed because of its Zionist content: Zionism in Goldstone Report.
joachim martillo, I saw your wife riding her broomstick just before Dorothys house landed on her.
P.S. How many bouquets of flower and Get Well cards have you delivered to your Dr. hasan?
Eddie,
If you kicked out one of J.M's observers then the screams of "freedom of speech/information" would be heard all the way to the South Pole.
"The Goldstone Report did not mention any political party either Israeli or Palestinian."
Of course it didn't!
Don't you know? The report was actually about China. Really.
JM's comment oversteps the bounds of sanity. It's not an exaggeration; it's totally off the wall. Either JM was snickering to himself as he wrote it, overestimating his cleverness, or he's just plum crazy.
If the statements in the early part of the video are true, that's pretty damn scary. I mean, to kick someone out for expressing, in polite terms even, an opposing point of view. And get no flack for it! And even have the UN staff cooperate!
This just goes to show you that an international organization can't change the behavior of countries that don't share it's core values. Instead, it's those countries--if there are enough of them--that will change the organization.
"or he's just plum crazy."
Hmmm...let me think about that one...
