1. When will the riots start?
Polly want a cracker ,   Local Aviary   (02.09.06)
Oh I forgot they are talking about Jews not those of the Islamic faith ; -)
2. Here's the truth....
Shai ,   Israel   (02.09.06)
We came up with this virus, and spread it throughout the WB and Gaza. Problem was, nobody died from it. This proves that none of those people are Arabs. We looked into it further and discovered that all of them are really from the hills of West Virginia, and their real family names used to be Hatfield and McCoy. Now it all makes sense.
3. DIDNT KNOW THE CHINESE I BELIEVE HAD THE 1st ARE ARAB
DACON9 ,   CHINA   (02.09.06)
4. these guys are fruitcakes
cliff from montreal   (02.09.06)
Next thing these morons will do is blame the Jews for day turning into night. To which I will reply "Turn on the light switch you idiots" Geez..if only they could listen to themselves ,and I pity the ignorant masses that believe this crap!
5. Silly
J K ,   NYC, USA   (02.09.06)
Its like reading the Bizzaro National Enquirer over there. The sad part is, not everyone take this stuff with a grain of salt....to them, its the emes. Sad sick paper over there.
6. Syrian Accusations
NYC Girl   (02.09.06)
More and more it appears that Israel's enemies are revealing themselves to be absolute crackpots.
7. Damn we're good!
Arie   (02.09.06)
According to the Arabs, we invented AIDs, the Bird Flu, cartoons lampooning MoHAMmed, bolemia, mass psychosis, and hysteria - all in a bid ro offend the sensibilities of our Arab neighbours. I would ask the Arabs to forward a list as to what they are most sensitive to so that our domestic R&Ddepartments can get to work on newer and better creations! Perhaps that capacity of ours is one of the reasons that Jews have received more Nobel prizes than any other group. But you have a Nobel Prize too, don't you? I believe it was in " Terrorist Semantics"
8. I needed a good laugh...
Mike ,   Holon   (02.09.06)
Those people are so pathetically funny it's almost sad.almost.....but not quite.
9. My farts are aimed at Syria....

10. Next time...
Lebanese ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (02.09.06)
... post a link to the actual article, even if in Arabic, so that we can believe you, because I couldn't find any such article.
11. MY DAD USED TO SAY
PILPELET ,   H ISRAEL   (02.09.06)
MAY ALL YOUR ENEMYS BE FOOLS............I ONLY NOW UNDERSTAND WHAT HE MENT
12. #10
DR ,   Florida, USA   (02.09.06)
WOW!!! The first thing out of your mouth is that this article is a lie. Why would anyone lie about this??? I can see why Syria would make that up, becuase their citizens have to believe it. The government controls everything over there and people don't like to think that thei leaders are lying to them. I am sure if you look harder, you will find it and then you'll have to come back and write that you're sorry.
13. Arabs suffer honestly from some disease
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (02.09.06)
They are so brain dead these people - I wonder if it hurts to be stupid and if it is contagious If yes ..... Arabs ...please visit all Arab countries fast

15. THIS - ISRAEL DID INVENT !!
Andrew ,   Miami, Fl   (02.09.06)
YEAH SPREAD THIS AROUND - THIS IS WHAT ISRAEL IS WORKING ON !! http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/06/12/MNGJND7G5T1.DTL

Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (02.09.06)

17. IF this is true (which i don't doubt) Syria needs to grow up
Khalid ,   Halifax   (02.09.06)
18. This is really funny. Yeah, the Jews are
Roger ,   USA   (02.09.06)
also responsible for earthquakes, tidal waves, global warming and everything else in between. You've got to love the Arabs.
19. "Quacks" me up
Chaya ,   Israel   (02.09.06)
LOL LOL LOL What a bird brain! This guy quacks me up! Who would even 'swallow' such garbage? Oh, yes, those whose leaders are 'robin' them of their freedom. And all they do is 'parrot' what their leaders tell them.
20. The Bird-Brains of Damascus
Howard ,   Pacific Coast, USA   (02.09.06)
The most likely reason for this article would be Turkey's strong concern that bird flu is spreading in Syria and that Syria is covering this up. Well, delusional Syrian bird-brains, if it's any comfort, everyone will suffer if a pandemic gets loose, not just you. Israel is not stupid enough to use biological weapons. I'm honestly not sure about Syria, though; you guys don't care how many people you kill.

Yoni ,   Katzrin   (02.10.06)
I wish they were 'actually' braindead. רמת הגולן Ramat HaGolan FOREVER!
22. Not funny but dangerous
Karen R ,   Maryland   (02.10.06)
This sort of accusation sounds pretty hilarious to us on the outside, but to the people of Syria, living with a state controlled media, and those in the rest of the Arab world who are looking for more ammunition for antisemitism/antizionism, this sort of nonsense is actually believable. Paranoia has always been one of the tools of the Jewish people's enemies, along with stereotype of the Jew as brainier than everyone else and therefore dangerous. Syria has always been Israel's most dangerous enemies, and perhaps we ought to pay attention when this sort of conspiracy fantasy is being spread.
23. So sad......
Phil ,   Adelaide, Australia   (02.10.06)
....and the sad truth is that the Syrian populace will believe all this crap their leaders ar dishing up. A case of the blind leading the blind!
24. #12
Lebanese ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (02.10.06)
I have actually looked everywhere and nowhere could I find that article. I call on Yediot Achronot to show its goodwill and post a link or a scanned copy of the newspaper.
25. The Syrians are stealing my material!!
Larry David ,   LA California   (02.10.06)
26. Ha!Ha! Arabs are really the most insane people on Earth!
Daisy ,   USA   (02.10.06)
27. eidence
Tom ,   Toronto, Canada   (02.10.06)
Agreed a link would be appropriate. But it sounds erily similar to B.S. comments I have read in arab media, And palestinian propaganda.
28. DANIEL PIPES, CALLS IT THE "CONSPIRATORIAL ARAB MINDSET"

Arie   (02.10.06)
I expected you to believe it. But you etter watch out. Israel found a way to ave Halifax float into the middle of the Atlantic and disappear. If that were to happen what would become of you. What would we do without your insight and wisdom? Well, I for one can't wait to find out
30. Wish it was that easy to invent an anti Arab virus!
