to rush Israel's borders. Syria has calculated successfully and forced Israel to fire on those impoverished Syrian farmers (paid reportedly $ 1,000.00 each by the Syrian government) who'd be protesting in Syria, if the Syrian government weren't shooting to kill them first, and thereby redirecting the attention towards Israel, instead of her own civil revolution, diabolical eh? Assad's father was said to have murdered 40,000 of his own people to hold onto power, the 'apple doesn't fall far from the tree " a rotten tree, at that. As the 'arab spring' turns into a multi national blood bath of many arab nations massacring their own people, it seems to me that islam is convulsing upon itself and the corruption and evil it brings its own people. What sort of rulership would replace them, the muslim brotherhood? AL Qaeda? Either way, the people of Syria, ( and how many arab nations now, and counting ?) are screwed.

including the part on Israel (thank H) we did not give up the Golan for hope and stupidity.

Israel has the military power to save the Syrian people from Assad but thanks to Obama's two years of internationally isolating and delegitimizing Israel, Israel can do nothing but watch in horror. The only nation left which could help is the United States. Sadly, the United States is ruled by Obama who is willing to kill innocent Afghan and Libyan civilians but for some reason doesn't want to stop Assad.

NO kidding. Boker tov Eliahu.

....he must want martyrdom really badly, because the moment baby Assad catches him, he will get his wish, probably at the end of a rope in Damascus main square for the whole country to witness.

a phony balloney defecter who end up as great lier

had his greedy fists well greased, otherwise, he'd show his ^chops^before now. No qustion about it, obama and his counterpart Hilary have both been handed fistfuls. They will both have to garner as much `lolly`as possible within their last 18 months. I pity both of them. Poor suckers!!!

The soldier asks his fellow Syrian soldiers "Where is your conscience?" It's been trained out of most of them. Understanding the void of any mercy or compassion within all brutal Arab dictatorships it is clear that Amina was removed from the street to silence her blog permanently which has attracted a large following across the globe.

The minute Obama forced Mubarak to step down in Egypt, all the Arab world felt the power to overthrow their governments. How can people say that Obama didn't know better ? Me, I am still thinking conspiracy ....

Vast majority of arabs support syrian government because the syrian government is actively anti-israel. The Baath Party will of course prevail.

Litmus test other than what is right and just. It serves no master, has no other standards than the two given and quite often is not in ones interest. For, more than decade i've been subjected to the glorification of sucide murders, the supposed nobility of their actions. Those that are now, lying down their lives, for something far more tangible, are doing so for nothing less than what is Just. A lesson I hope more share in the Arab world, than what the past decade has shown.

Nothing more phony nor as full of baloney as you teabag, you da mannequin!

Another sucker who believes a Ruthless arab dictator over a syrian officer who witnessed the MURDER of his fellow citizens at the hands of his own army? So tea cup what happens to lebanon when your baba in iran goes down ? Just Wondering? Yella

liars get alone after all and can form a syndicate

isn't the world just nuts to have an organisation like the UN!!!

Wonder how many US$ did you smugle out of your Country so that you can enjoy LV and the brutality of your fellow Baath. Why are you not there to help them?

the christian palestinian is there to preach against the devil and the sins that Satan impose on LV just like here south of my broder he has franchise
