1. Barbarians
Abu Yussef al Yahudi ,   Bue_Aires-Argentina   (05.27.12)
These horrible crimes are the result of the barbarism that plagues the Muslim World, based in the wrongful and hateful teachings of the fake prophet, the pedophile Muhammad. Take it for grant, never will be peace between these barbarians of the Islam, and the western countries, Israel included.
2. Any article starting with "International community" makes
tom ,   tel aviv   (05.27.12)
me stop reading right there..........
3. So tragic..
Amichai ,   Huntsville, US   (05.27.12)
Where is the White House? The Obama administration was so quick to "help" Libya. Where's the response to Syrian atrocities? This is borderline sarcasm....I know full well why there is no response like in Libya. The US has been "wanting" Gadafi for ages. Assad, not so much. Libya had much more to do with "old politics" than "new humanitarianism". Sorry Syrian, don't expect much help from the US.
4. Brutality...What else is new
Real vision ,   united States   (05.27.12)
A hundred killed somewhere in the muslim world yesterday...Today...Tomorrow. The world is horrified but expects this kind of brutality from islamic regimes, esp those ruled by murderous despots
5. UNSC
DavidR ,   USA   (05.27.12)
The UNSC is a barking dog with no bite. They will do nothing. What is needed is a coalition of Western Nations to intercede militarily and take this two bit dictator out once and for all.
6. Barbarians 2
(05.27.12)
Your quite right, the west and especially Israel can never make peace with them or Islam. They have no hesitation slaughtering thousands of their own kind muslims. Imagine what they would do to the rest of us all. Islam keeps them all locked in the dark ages and barbarism. As long as Islam still rules theyre minds it cannot nor ever will change.
7. ISLAMIC REGIMES INSTALLED BY BRITAIN & EUROPE.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (05.27.12)
The EU & UN have been busy with Israel bashing to defect their own crimes.
8. UN & EU HAVE BEEN TOO BUSY BASHING ISRAEL.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (05.27.12)
The blood shed by Islamic dictators were fully supported by Europe & the UN for payola and oil deals. The internet age says: LET THERE BE LIGHT.
9. SYRIANS
Robert Levine ,   lasTerrenas,DR   (05.27.12)
Arab killing arab.Pass the popcorn
10. All I can think is that if Jews show weakness....
Katamon ,   Jerusalem   (05.27.12)
The Arabs will slaughter the Jews and the world will express shock and horror but will either be unable to or will not want to do anything. Oh wait, that happened every time a suicide bomber blew up a restaurant. The world can take its horror and its shock and stuff it where the sun don't shine. Words. Words. Words meet Dead Bodies. Words are loud. Dead bodies silent. Inaction is silent too.
11. what a wonderful world
Ran ,   Aventura USA   (05.27.12)
They should appoint Goldstone to figure out how it's actually Israel's fault
12. UNSC
agokoy ,   cebu   (05.27.12)

Galut ia ,   Selah   (05.27.12)
this make Israel look like a great place to live....
14. This is why Israel can't trust the U.N.
Shep Fargotstein ,   Memphis, TN - USA   (05.27.12)
Why should Israel trust the U.S.A., the U.N. or the E.U. when they let this type of atrocity happen under their noses for the whole world to see? Israel....No one will protect you but YOU!
15. The Butcher of syria Could Give A Rats Ass

Nah the u.n., arab league and the west Should SENT BODY BAGS and a lot of them? HYOPOCRITES! lady ashton your silence Of The DEAD CHILDREN in syria is piercing my ears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
16. Where are all the UN condemnations?
Yourdayiscoming ,   Israel   (05.27.12)
Anyone can say, "DEPLORABLE!". Assad kills his own people and not one proposal of condemnations is uttered . War crimes tribunal? Where are they? We DEFEND ourselves against attack on our citizens from OUTSIDE our borders, we are condemed.
17. ABSOLUTELY must be held accountable. Along with...
ahmed ,   london   (05.27.12)
along with the israeli soldiers, commanders and politicians who committed the massacres in Qana and everywhere else in lebanon and palestine.
18. An Arab matter
Cameron ,   USA   (05.27.12)
To be handled, or not handled, by fellow Arab states. Let the US avoid getting pulled into that Muslim wreckage.

Sami ,   New York, USA   (05.27.12)
The world will do nothing.
20. massacre
aaron ,   toronto canada   (05.27.12)
You bloody politicians are all alike,you're not good for nothing.open your mouth when you are going to do something about these killings or shut your mouths.little assad still has a long way to better his father the butcher so either go and get him with full force or just shut up already.
21. Why does the UN never condemn such crimes?
ZionistBecky ,   Israel   (05.27.12)
90 people killed and the UN and the West are completely silent. And if Israel bombs several dozen Palestinian children with our jets, the world doesn't shut up! Why the double standard? Because of antisemitism, that's why.
22. The Butcher of Damascus still at it after over a year
shmulke ,   w. coast usa   (05.27.12)
...of murdering his own countrymen, women and children. But hey, let's boycott Israeli goods, ok Europe and UN?
23. And yet in Darfur..
Pasquinel ,   Canada   (05.27.12)
Israel and Canada are not on the UN security council.....pity,,,,yet somewhat comforting, why is that? Oh well.
24. A picture is worth a thousand words...
Rob ,   Orangevale, U.S.A.   (05.27.12)
These pictures will last forever. These pictures say more about the Assad regime, than all the rebels ever could. The Arabs are murdering each other, and sending more and more foreign Arab killers to do the dirty work for them. There never seems to be a shortage of Arab/Persian killers, waiting to travel from one Muslim country to the next in order to kill they're own people , or their neighbors. I wonder what the young Arabs think about this. Probably the best thing to do, is to let them fight amongst themselves, as the world powers such as China and Russia sit back and figure out how to make a buck, or somehow throw a wrench into western planning, or human rights. Until now, 10,000 people have been killed. The brutal murder of children didn't even slow them down. Kofi Annan, and Ban Ki Moon, condemn. What a toothless bunch of nobodies. The so-called Arab League is a quivering mass, full of empty deals. Massacre worked for the father, it appears as it may just work for the son. The horror never even slows down in the 'middle east'. Syria is the stable place! Shalom Israel, Rob

me   (05.27.12)
if Syria had oil the US would have been there...
26. So what's new here? Arabs remain arabs.
Sam ,   Miami   (05.27.12)
The only place that is safe for Arabs in the Middle East is .... Israel. Surprising ? :) Not really. That's why the worst fear of Israel Arabs is to become part of Palestine. They know who and what they are.
27. Big brother PUTIN is now sending more wepons to Assad!
Jouko ,   Finland   (05.27.12)
Putin and Assad seem to get along suprisingly well - Assad kills children and Putin send more weponry!
28. Christian barbarism
observer ,   Egypt   (05.27.12)
Now commenter accuses Arab Muslims of barbarism, he does not hint about Westerner Christians barbarism in WW II, the Jews themselves were one of its major victims.
29. are Alawites Muslims
observer ,   Egypt   (05.27.12)
Assad's Grand father sent a letter to the France asking to protect Alawites and "poor" Jews emigrants in Palestine against Muslim ruling Ottomans and Syrian Muslim majority! Alawites succeeded in the ere of Hafez Assad the son to extract unilateral recognition from Lebanese Shiets Leader as a Shiets faction or cult. Which side Israel is on? Israel's interest is in the Muslim majority's side.
30. WHERE ARE ALL THE RICH ARAB STATES !
avi ,   Israel   (05.27.12)
