31. Finally, Assad and his opposition agree!
MeMyself ,   Silver Spring MD, US   (05.20.12)
So the Syrian opposition and Assad's government agree -- Israel is to blame for everything. Yes, I know the opposition condemns Israel as an ally of Assad, and Assad says the same about Israel aligning with the opposition. But that's just a small detail. But it also explains why I don't take anything coming out from the Arab side seriously. My main worry are calls from leading Republicans, such as Romney and McCain, for the US to arm the opposition. Even the proposal for humanitarian aid being considered by Obama worries me. Doesn't anyone in Washington know what is going on in the Middle East?

34. Blessed is who Blesses Israel and Damn he who Damns Israel
(05.20.12)
Well the profesy is clear. The arabs keep on Damning Israel an they are killing each other. These oposition Syrian laders are a bunch of imbeciles they cannot see far away from their noses. Return the Golan!!!! Keep on dreaming dudes.
35. Dear Worls you want Israel to negotiate the Peace of the ME
Ari-Jerusalem   (05.20.12)
With whom? Time magazine asks the "king Bibi" if now he have the guts to make peace. I ask Time with whom. You can give them Back everything including Tel Aviv they wont settle for less than Israel Destruction. Israel is ready to talk without preconditions. Arabs, Palestinians (same trash) are just deceivers. Just like Iranians are deceivers. Iran wants to gain time but at the end nothing will come out of it. Syrians accepted a cease Fire using Koffy Anan the result deceivers Until the West don't understand the Language of the ME, it's a loss oftime- Dear West do us a favor Mind your own business. You have been a disaster in Afganistan, in Irak, in Libia, in Egypt etc etc etc
36. Dear tlkbackers dont loose your Breath you wont solve the ME
Ari   (05.20.12)
Crisis. It's not a problem of Oil, or of settlemnts is the problem of idiosyncrazy. Send them of to the Wilderness for 40 Years so you can have a new generation that migh love better themselves. Just like Moses did with the people of Israel
37. the regime used israeli card but they are not an ally
black&blue ,   new york & US   (05.20.12)
this is punch of kebab. I really thought that this burhan gulion know better(no wonder why he wanna quit). the syrian goverment used the israeli card to keep marshal law and to give reason for the west that they shouldn't support the revolution because they kept the border silent all those years not because they are ally with israel but because they knew that the regime will be kicked out of goverment if they attacked not by israel but by the west(especially US) either by using more sanctions or by military invasion...
38. Bad Move in 1973
Adam ,   Los Angeles   (05.20.12)
In hindsight it would have been better not to stop on the road to Damascus, but to have seized in 1973 against American and Russian warnings. Then Israel would have something to negotiate with these punks and they would have had to sign whatever we put in front of them.
39. Not surprised
Joe Sombrero ,   Usa   (05.20.12)
I knew these guys were bad news when I heard every second word on CNN was Allah Akbar
40. Syria
Rachel ,   Los Angeles, USA   (05.20.12)
Finally someone is talking about Israel's occupation of the Golan Heights. Looking forward to a democratically run Syria. Good luck to the revolution and the people of Syria. Que viva the Arab Spring!!
41. NO ally
Brod ,   USA   (05.20.12)
They are all enemies of Israel. There is no ally. They are all Arab Islamist-Jihadists stuck in their cesspool of anti-Israel venom that comes straight from their koranic-Luciferian god.
42. Keep Golan
Ron ,   OC, US   (05.20.12)
Evidently the Syrian's have not bled enough. The so called opposition has not figured out that Israel has not killed off any of their thousands of casualties. Hezbollah and Iran have been part of the killing as have been the Russians. But, Arabs run true to form: blame the Jews and if at all possible, blame the Americans.
43. Hear, hear, #14!
Cameron ,   USA   (05.20.12)
My thoughts exactly! If Arabs feel the need to cut one another's throats, then infidels are obliged to kick back, and see who is standing when the dust settles.
44. Thats why Syria goes down the drain.....
I care for Israel   (05.20.12)
...and from now on I wont feel pitty anymore, because I cant stand those pathological jew haters : let them get what they deserve !
45. Pathological obssession
Ralph ,   Caesarea   (05.20.12)
of Israel..
46. 1948 war redux - Asymmetric Warfare
Jon ,   Perth,Australia   (05.20.12)
War of independence - Libya, Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar - Sunni. Brings back memories, eh? USA needs to decide, Israel or Saudi Arabia as their Main ally. Ironically, Iran is your only ally, israel to combat Sunni influence. Choose.
47. ROTTEN BASTARDS go to hell !!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.20.12)
48. IDF IS FOR HIRE!!!
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (05.20.12)
No problem, Mr. Opposition leader! When the price is right for Israel then Israel will do what it needs to do for Israel. For now, enjoy blaming others fr your problems as your nation is used to this agenda for centuries. How about asking Egypt to help? They just said they are ready to fight Jews yesterday. But they are only ready to fight Jews though not Muslims.
49. Syrian opposition Israel opposition no difference RIGHT ???
M.S. ,   mpls america   (05.21.12)
The Syrian opposition ironicially is more opposed to peace co existance with Israel Jews than the current Syrian government of Assad ironicially there fore a war with Israel Assad would IRONICIALLY SILENSE THESE OPPOSITION CRITICS RIGHT and so simple logic science I am not a University of Syria college graduate but any idiot may see this logic but only I will tell you teach you this again another $ trillion dollars worth of schooling I GIVE YOU ARABS JEWS FOR FREE because I humbly need your HELP RIGHT ??? Thank You... M. S.
50. Syria = Assyria
Mike ,   Haifa   (05.21.12)
The same false doctrine that espouses "Palestinian " peoplehood and identity also advocates other fictitious identities in the Middle East that never hisyorically existed. One is the "Jordanian" identity and the other is the "Syrian" identity. yhe word Syria was and is synonymous with Assyria. The creation of the Syrian republic was initially meant to create a safe haven and ultimately a country for the Assyrians but it was taken over by he Arabs like everything else and should be given back to them. Aramaic shkuld slowly replace Arabic in northern mesopotamia. The international community must do everything to erase the vesties of the Arab occupation of Mesopotamia and the Levant and give the indegenous people there independence and sovereignty to revive their culture and language.
51. I thought the Mossad Shark was Assads ally
Dan Kelso   (05.27.12)
Arabs CANNOT make peace with Israel. Without Israel to blame for all the death, poverty, destruction, misery and oppression across Islam, who will the Islamic people blame? Wait, they’ll blame the Mossad Shark, Mossad Vulture, the 4000 Jews who didn’t show up at the World Trade Center, and the new crazy Arab theory that Bugs Bunny doesn’t like Muslims. If only the Arab could put himself in the 21st century. Even the 19th century would be an improvement.
