1. So the Palestinians were demonstrating in Syria?
Eli ,   Raanana   (08.16.11)
Do I understand this correctly? The Palestinians started to demonstrate and the Syrians started to shoot them? Seems, like demonstrating is Palestinian's major occupation. They do it everywhere.
2. Palestinians refugees to come to their homes anyway
Palestinian ,   matter of time   (08.16.11)
message is pased to the childeren and it doesn't matter how long it takes
3. #1
Eric ,   Toronto   (08.16.11)
What a stupid comment? Don't you have anything useful to say?
4. So if it;s Palestinians then it's a crime against humanity..
Rebecca ,   Modiin   (08.16.11)
When Syria was busy killing it's own the PLO was quiet. They didnt mind that Syria has kept their people in squalid refugee camps, with no rights, etc, I dont know weather to laugh or cry.

6. ALWAYS TRAITOROUS
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.16.11)
First the Syrians used the Palestinians to rush the Israeli border fence, now, when the Palestinians stand against Assad they're attacked But really the Palestinians have ruined or brought ruin to every country they ever went to, as we all know. They tried to kill King Hussein who graciously hosted them, with the "Black September" attack (1970's). Then the Pals went to Lebanon, basically took over the Southern part of the country and began constant terrorist attacks against Israel. Israel had to root out the PLO (18,000 terrorists including about 6,000 mercenaries), becoming a major cause for Lebanon destruction (1980's). The Palestinians turned against the Kuwaiti leaders and helped Saddam take over that country in the (1990's). The Pals like to attempt to destroy at least one Arab country each decade, nice!! No wonder they are so unpopular in the Arab world. Only used as an excuse for terrorism, is their sole function.
7. The PLO "kettle calls the pot black ". You
DT ,   TA Israel   (08.16.11)
are no different
8. They would do the same thing.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (08.16.11)
You think the Palestinian Authority is so much better than Assad? They're the same kind of dictatorship & Hamas is perhaps worse. Of course, we're pretty stupid too since we brought these terrorists & crooks back from Tunis & gave them legitimacy.
9. Kettle calls the Pot, your Ass is black!
Elizabeth   (08.16.11)
10. Maybe the world should reconsider
Paul ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.16.11)
If the devious, murderous Palestinian PLO are against Assad, perhaps he is truly fighting Jihadist elements under his regime.
11. Culture of death
sk ,   USAA   (08.16.11)
Arabs killing Arabs, Muslims killing Muslims .... one judges a religion by its fruits— is this truly the relgion of "peace" or a Middle Ages based culture of death, mayhem and destruction?
12. #2,5 Palestinian, 'matter of time'....not in your lifetime.
(08.16.11)
13. Sounds like they could use...
stu ,   Toronto, Canada   (08.16.11)
a floatilla!
14. "Palestinian" #2, #5
Linichka ,   Gdynia, Poland   (08.16.11)
If you are talking about your wretched brethren flocking back into Israel, better put down the nargileh and acquaint yourself with reality. That's gonna happen when lobsters whistle.
15. #2 not if you...
David ,   New England   (08.16.11)
Not if you keep electing leaders like Arafat and Hamas.
16. Yasser Abed Rabbo
Spencer ,   Israel   (08.16.11)
What a wonderful example of double standards. Yasser Abed Rabbo applauds the firing of rockets at,and bombing of civilian Israeli targets. Now the Palis are getting a taste of their own medicine.
17. So to Palestinians it is a war crime but if Hamas shells
Joe ,   Canada   (08.16.11)
Israelis civilians it is not? Did the Syrians warns the Palestinians to leave the camp before shelling it? Apparently not. The unhuman acts of many extremists Islamists or other political tyrants against Jews, they don't even recoil from inflicting them on their own "brothers". How can you trust them for any lasting peace agreement?
18. #2/5
Alice ,   Montreall, Que. Cana   (08.16.11)
"Palestinians returning to their home" yes home is JORDAN.
19. How Ironic!!! When the "pal" Arabs are attacked...
Ya'akov ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.16.11)
it is a crime against Humanity but it is okay for them to commit crimes against humanity against the indigenous Jews of the land of Israel??!!
20. Dear Palistinians brothers and sisters it is time to
Ya'aqub ,   Al-Quts   (08.16.11)
rise up and go to many of our ancestral homes in Syria and fight against the tyranny of the Assad regimes! We shall march in the tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands to Dameseq and the cities and to the camps and bring freedom. We shall utterly destroy the Alawite kalb (dogs)! Yallah habibi, yallah habibti, yallah sadeekti. Let's quickly gather our belingings, wallak, and go on the road immediately.
21. Pals slam Syria...
Abie Dee ,   New York, U.S   (08.16.11)
I'm still waiting to read about the worldwide condemnations of Syrian disproportionate use power but i'm not gonna hold my breath....it's become so blatantly obvious that that condemnation is reserved exclusively for the IDF.
22. #2 & #5;Palestinian, THAT'S PROBLEM
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.16.11)
You see, your to close to the problem, to see the forest from the trees. You look at the tree, instead of the forest. What is, and what could have been. You were offered country in 1948, your leaders told you to leave your homes, to make room for the Arab army invasion that would destroy Israel, and kill all the Jewish people. The problem is when you left, the Arab army could not get in, they lost. One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result. You've lost all wars with Israel. Yet here you are? bragging about how the madness is passed from one generation to the next. Expecting a different result, let me give you some free advice, DON'T. It's insanity!!! Try peace instead of war, you couldn't do any worse than you already have done. So far just a string of humiliating defeats. So bad is it, that you celebrate a single battle here and there, as some sort of victory, how pathetic can you get?
23. Enough is Enough. Bring them home to Palestine Now!
Ali ,   Washington, DC   (08.16.11)
24. Hypocrits for the media
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (08.16.11)
25. No, no, just like Sderot, it is RESISTANCE.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (08.16.11)
26. Guess they hate the competition from Syria
William ,   Israel   (08.16.11)
PLO used to be #1 in depravity, violence, and violation of all human decency.... and now we have a new contender in the Arab world...several to be exact.
27. #2 - "doesn't matter how long it takes"
William ,   Israel   (08.16.11)
gad you feel that way because it might be a while with the leadership you have. But with luck you'll have a State and with that a place for refugees to go, if you choose to reject the 3rd country option. It must be exciting to anticipate the mass emigration to a new place with a shaky infrastructure, and even shakier govt, after leaving your world and life of years behind. Good for you.
28. #23- where is that?
William ,   Israel   (08.16.11)
Right now, there is no "Palestine" to go home to. There could have been but the very people who criticize Syria are the ones who torpedoed the many chances for a "home" in the first place - usually because of racism and greed. Truth be told - if "Palestinians" are looking for their home in Palestine, look no further than Northern Syria....where the original Province of Palestine was when referred to by Herodates in the 1st century BC.
29. Yassir speaks with forked tongue!
David ,   Hartford USA   (08.16.11)
So it's no crime against humanity when Arab rockets rip into Sderot! This guy has been a slimeball for decades, one of the PA's 'best'. No wonder that nobody even cares what the PA has to say about anything! Let the PA's American-trained 'Police Force,' (aka ARMY) go and get rid of Assad. It's obvious that the world doesn't give a crap about Arabs killing Arabs since it appears to be their favorite activity.
30. assad and palestinains
mohson   (08.16.11)
assad demonstrates 2 truths- 1) since palestinians are just arabs from syria, lebanon, egypt and jordan, assad could care less about them and killing them is no big deal. On the other hand, rabbo and the rest of them are royal complainers and delusional bs artists. So waht befalls them may be merited. What is shocking is that the weaklings beilin, peres, barak, livni and olmert should be intimidated by the pal rabblerousers into unimaginable concessions that leave israel exposed and one arm tied behind its back.
