1. im syrian
syrian ,   dubai   (12.08.10)
and i dont want to fight a war with anyone, especially not for Iran or anyone else. The only way i would carry a weapon and fight is if Israel or anyone invades my country only. in the mean time, israel and syria should be talking about peace and not war.
2. COULD BE -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (12.08.10)
- SYRIA SHOULD HAVE BECOME A BIG LOOSER. Arn.
3. A war between Iran and Israel? later but not right now
Max   (12.08.10)
Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas to be on one side. And Non would have any chance to win anything without Iran or lose everything without Iran. Israel would never win against the 4 untied without cakes(if got any) and USA, Russia will be forced to get in and might lead to world war III.
4. OF COURSE SYRIA REFUSED
zionist forever   (12.08.10)
Assad wants everything Iran gives him but if they want to start a war Syria doesn't want to be dragged into it. Iran has no borders with Israel and Iran does not have a badly trained military armed with Soviet era tanks & planes. Syria would be going head - head with Israel and Iran at best would be exchanging missiles with israel. Assad instead would support the terrorist branch of the Syrian army and get them to do the fighting while he watches from behind the scenes and denies he is behind it. Israel need to announce to Assad and the entire world that if Iran attacks or if Hizbollah provoke Israel into a war in Lebanon then Assad will be considered to be behind it and Israel will attack Syria. As the Saudis would say we would cut off the snakes head.

Did the Palestinians provoke you into taking their land?
10. Post #1 im Syrian
Aldo ,   Las Vegas   (12.08.10)
Yes my Syrian friend. Thank you! Israel does not seek war with Syria. Dont let Iranian or other crazies in the area force your country to get caught up in stupidity. The regular guys always lose. Lets talk peace! Then, we can live side by side and enjoy our lives. Enough bloodshed! Thank you #1 post!
11. To: #1 Thats Great!

Dear #1 I think you have a great attitude. Its great to hear that.. I hope our countries will be in peace soon. We must influence our people to believe and think the way you do.. Izzy ....U.S.A
12. #1 In that sense....
Warren ,   Israel   (12.08.10)
...we are the same. Israel too has no intention of invading any country. Hearing you say what you did is a breath of fresh air. I do hope that more people in this area can follow in the same mind set.
13. wait till Israel starts bring up gas then Assad will want wa
zionist forever   (12.08.10)
If Lebanon & Syra try to lay claim to the gas fields in Israel you can bet Assad will be willing to fight to get his hands on it for it or at the very least threaten war iif Israel did not share is in the hope the Obama or some possible future anti Israel president and say in the name of peace making Israel must share the gas with its neighbors. Assad might not want to fight somebody elses war but if he feels war is in his best interests he will be willing to start one. Assad is no peacemaker and he has said clearly that he is not offering a full peace for the Golan just a long term ceasefire and we already have that and the Golan.
14. #1 Add to your information
Salma ,   Palestine   (12.08.10)
Golan is Syrian land occupied, it seems that Dubai high-Towers obscure your vision !

immediately if war starts in the Middle East. Ted Gunderson, the retired FBI Los Angeles station chief said the Muslim terrorists are known to have 24 suitcase nukes and 37 surface to air missiles in the USA and that was in 2007. Ten cities will be targeted he said with suitcase nukes: Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Valdez, Alaska, Houston, Miami, Washington, D.C., New York City, Boston, Chicago, and Philadelphia. Do not go to a Walmart this week. Homeland Security Chief Janet Napolitano asked people who go to Walmart to report any suspicious activity. That means there is reason to believe Walmarts will be a target. Today is Tevet 1, the first day of the tenth month on the Moses Jewish calendar that is no longer in use today. Author Barry Roffman's ELS Torah code site has a matrix for 5771 that includes the words, "5771 war, Israel, Iran, in the 10th month, in the 1st day of the 10th month." Tevet 1 is December 8 in 2010. President Assad may have delayed the war by refusing to participate. Isaiah 17:1 says Damascus will be destroyed. He has delayed the destruction of Damascus.
16. Person no 9
JUDAH THE LION   (12.08.10)
What an idiot? No such place or address called Palestinian.Israel is historic land of the Jews promised and given by G D.Read the BIBLE OR QURAN. By the way LION is the king of the animal,are you jealous we are called JUDAH THE LION.
17. Golan is Syrian no 14 Salma
TAHRIR QUDS ALYAHUDI   (12.08.10)
Golan not occupied but LIBERATED. The past colonial the BRITISH & THE FRENCH who gave Golan to the Syrian ILLEGAL.
18. Re #1 Exactly and thank you
Andrew Brehm   (12.08.10)
I appreciate your statement. If the Syrian government were like you, I'd have no problems giving back the Golan and forget the entire thing ever happened.
19. Re #9
Andrew Brehm   (12.08.10)
The "Palestinians" didn't have a land. In fact the "Palestinians" didn't even exist. (Find one source from the time that tells of a "Palestinian people".) Israel was founded on Jewish-owned and Jewish-inhabited land. The "Palestinians" and other Arabs attacked Israel. Arabs claim all the land as theirs. It's impossible to live anywhere in the ME without "taking Arab land". The Kurds and Nilotes have learned that the hard way. Luckily Israel survived the lesson.
20. Re #14
Andrew Brehm   (12.08.10)
The British and French made the Golan part of Syria. However, since then Syria has experienced a few regime changes. I am in favour of Israel returning the Golan to the Kingdom of Syria. In fact the treaty Israel had with the Kingdom of Syria would serve us fine.
21. SMART MOVE
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (12.08.10)
Syria has lost all wars it participated against Israel. Israel has notified Syria that Damascus is the primary target if a war breaks out and Syria attacks Israel. Syria doesn't want a war, they know being on the front lines their country gets leveled. The Golan is the high ground that overlooks Syria and prevents them from bringing their tank divisions into action. It's why Syria will never get the Golan back, ever. Until and unless they prove through actions and time they will not be a threat to Israel. That only makes sense for Israel. If you back Israel into the corner of total war, what would you expect Israel's response to be? What would our response here in the U.S., if our country was on verge of being destroyed? Would we use all resources to win and stay alive? Then why would Israel do any less?

23. to all who replied to my post...
syrian ,   dubai   (12.08.10)
Salma, i know Golan is part of syria, but instead of it being an obstacle to peace, maybe it can be a the reason we can make peace, why cant it be a park or something like that for everyone to share, a point of contact and communication between peoples in the region, muslims, christians, jews and druze and whatever you believe in. Its that closed mentality of "mine, and only mine" that doeasnt allow us to progress and move foreward. if it were up to me i would convert the Golan Heights in to a multicultural festival of events where people can meet and greet, i dont want to see people die, enough have died, really. economic integration is needed in our parts or we are going to lag behind the world, europe has done it, east asia is doing it, south america is doing it, the gulf countries here are doing it, why cant the levant do it as well, and trust me we will be a force to reckon with. Look at any foreign country where Levantines live, 9 out of 10 times they are very succesfull and end up in very influential circles and positions, now imagine we can be an economic block. tourism alone will pay off any deficit we might suffer from. just giving you examples....i hate war, it brings us nothing.
24. #23 thank G-D It's Not Up To You ,

29. #24 No wonder Palestinians have no State
Sami ,   Geneva, Switzerland   (12.08.10)
Just by your belligerent comments one can see why the Palestinians have no State after 60 years.
