1. "Criminal Israel"
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.31.13)
Oh, that's rich, especially coming from the Russians. Can someone update me on the death count in the Chechen? The last I checked, it was well over one million. All of them civilians. Do keep in mind that if you are a woman walking into a grocery to buy some milk, according to the Russians, you are an "enemy combatant." I guess that Putin is just feeling a tadbit humiliated that Israel thumbed its nose at him. Well, as they say in the Russian Army, "toughski shitski."
2. Now I see...vomit
Chopper4 ,   CPT, South Africa   (01.31.13)
"If this information is confirmed, then we are dealing with unprovoked attacks on targets on the territory of a sovereign country, which blatantly violates the UN Charter and is unacceptable, no matter the motives to justify it," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. I wonder how come the Russians have never used this quote when Israel is attacked? Just shows that the UN charter is there to protect everyone else besides Israel! Dosvedania!
3. Protecting civilians
Yehuda ,   Israel   (01.31.13)
Is protecting civilians an international crime?
4. #1
(01.31.13)
Your definition of an "enemy combatant" is any Palestinian man, woman, child or unborn child going into a shop to buy milk. Sorry, let's just say all non jews. As they say in Poland, "toughska shitska".
5. russia and nasrallah
(01.31.13)
blalblablablabla!!
6. Putin, the Stalin Wannabe [End]
Ariye ,   Mata, Israel   (01.31.13)
7. Russia's concerns?
Avraham ,   Jerusalem   (01.31.13)
I agree with you, Sarah. Are Russians (Putin and al) waiting for one million dead in Syria (like in Chechnia) to allow a military (limited?!) action against Assad? As for Israel, its government will decide what is the best for the country's security and what action should be taken to protect its population, not Russia or any other country.
8. Aren't you supposed to be in school ?
Gil ,   Raanana   (01.31.13)
You have to stop pretending, people reading your childish derogatory unsophisticated comments might actually think you are serious and that other jews think like you. Over one million dead in Chechnia ?.. maybe in your fantasy video games. Where did you "check" that ? Do you even know where Chechnia is ?
9. For Gil in Raanana :hundreds of thousand dead in Chechnia !
trump ,   eurabia   (01.31.13)
Agreed,not one millions but horrible losses of life ! However, the Russian-Chechen Friendship Society set their estimate of the total death toll in two wars at about 150,000 to 200,000 civilians.[112]
10. Neither Syria nor Lebanon have confirmed this attack
Jrebecca ,   modiin   (01.31.13)
The two countries concerned are keeping very quiet. Lebanon complained about Israeli planes in their airspace, but said nothing about them crossing the border and attacking anything in Syria. Syrian State Television - not the government or even quoting someone in the government - complained of a different attack, something the rebels are claiming for themselves. Whatever happened, Syrian and Lebanon do NOT want the real story known.
11. Same Russia
Philip ,   Afula, Israel.   (01.31.13)
........... ,same sea ,same mantra, same mentality, at least politically.
12. Who the ___ is Hezbollah to call for Int'l condemnation ????
(01.31.13)
13. Israel Must Take Out Hez ASAP
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUsA   (01.31.13)
The key here is the US response to Putin. With Kerry and Hagel, two peaceniks...there is doubt as to USA support for Israel's selective bombing of those Rusky rockets. Syria wont attack Israel w/o Iran's support, and Hez/Hamas know Israels potential. In any new warfare, Israel must use its awesome power to destroy Hez once and for all. The rebels gain either way however. a weakened Syria is to their benefit. But Israel is also a lower in some sense..having to defend itself again on yet another front. From a Jihadist war, to the Caliphate, to MBA...Israel is being sucked into this intra-Arab conflict. It will have to pick its spots carefully. A weak Israel is a doomed Israel..it must show its strength now. starting with Hezbollah, and it's mouthpiece leader. I favor bombing Tehran, if the Iranians protest too much. and taking out their 23 nuke sites. ASAP
14. to hell with Russia they support TERRORISTS STATES END
guillermo ,   kfar saba israel   (01.31.13)
15. You can't blame them for trying!
Mark ,   London, UK   (01.31.13)
Assuming something did happen: 1. There must have been an invasion of Lebanese airspace. 2. Something was destroyed 3. Only a small number of lost lives is claimed so there may not have been a large guard. 4. The details are very sketchy. With all that's going on in Syria that would not be surprising but for Israeli involvement. I would expect it to be milked for all it's worth, rather than played down.
16. 1
anton ,   istanbul   (01.31.13)
so much care you have for muslims :)? sarah you have brought tears to my eyes but ı hate to say they are from laughter :D everybody here knows you dont care about chechens arabs or muslims in general, to be precise all non jews :) so dont you think isnt it petty attempt to use chechens just to make a useless point here ? :)
17. Russia Speaking? - Really
sam sweiry ,   Eastbourne UK   (01.31.13)
The interest of Russians & Chinese in Syria is in a dire state - Invested heavily to support Assad Regime - There demise in Syria - As I see it - Is imminent - Get on your bike & leave NOW - You will spare more Syrian Lives
18. Russian Agriculture equipment to Hezballah
Vlady Putin ,   Ruskyistan   (01.31.13)
I strongly condemn this Zionist aggression against the delivery of humanitarian Russian agriculture equipment like missiles etc to our peaceful Hezballah brothers.
19. Are Israelis suicidal?
spyguy ,   seattle, usa   (01.31.13)
Do Israelis seriously think that if Israel ignites a war that includes, Russia, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt or any other major country on earth the US will protect them? There is zero chance Americans will do that. Just like the US let Russia smash Georgia, the US will let Russia smash Israel if Israel pushes Russia too far. The best life lesson I learned from my late wife is "Carefully pick your battles." Israelis may want to think about that.
20. to 16. Wether Sara #1 cares about muslims that is not
(01.31.13)
The point is that Russia is killing in a criminal way the Chechenians. So if they are criminals it is idiotic, they dare call other people criminal. On the other hand who call Israel criminal was Hisbolla not Russia
21. to no,1 Sarah- In the article who called Israel a criminal..
(01.31.13)
was Nasrallah not Russia. Not that I care less just to emphasize correctly on the issue
22. Shia Butchers
Zechariah   (01.31.13)
The Shia in Lebanon have aligned against their Islamic cousins with the Ba'ath Burchers and Torturers and the Mad Mullahs in Iran .Russia ought help find a safe compromise Truce.
23. to no 7 Russia wants to protect it's arms they were ......
(01.31.13)
Not payed yet
24. The Russians are correct
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (01.31.13)
Netanyahu really must break the habit of bombing soveriegn countries because he doesn't like what they are doing. Not withstanding anti aircraft missiles are defensive systems not offesive systems, and pose no threat to Israel Hopefully Russia will be minded to sell the Lebanese the SA 17 air defence system in the near future to teach Netanyahu a lesson
25. Israel saves lives if the report is true. Condemn syria!!!!
Brett ,   JHB RSA   (01.31.13)
Yet the rooskies say this is an act of war. 2 people dead min this act and they want to haul the Israeli government to the UN. They are mad. they protect a man who has killed in excess of 60000 people but that somehow is OK to russia. What has the UN done to protect the sryian civilians. Even Brahimi has all but given up! CRAZY....
26. Spyguy - 19
Brett ,   JHB RSA   (01.31.13)
YOu say Israel mustnt push russia. Two points. Firstly russia has made themselves irrelevant and worryingly complicit in the slaughter of more than 60000 people. What Israel is doing is preventing the likes of the terrorist group hizbulla from obtaining chemical weapons and slaughtering innocent civilians, including the palastinians who even they dont care how many perish. And secondly, on your ludicrous point regarding russia pummeling Israel, not gonna happen. The good old US of A and Europe have to much invested in the middle east for all out war to break out. Didnt happen under the USSR and definately not going to happen now. Best you crawl back into that delusional little box you crawled out of you as you are completely out of touch with reality!!!
27. State of War
BL ,   London, UK   (01.31.13)
Perhaps the Russians aren't aware that Israel and Syria are in a legal state of war.
28. Hezbollah urges international condemnation?
Haim ,   TA   (01.31.13)
"Hezbollah urges international condemnation of 'aggressive, criminal' Israel " Im confused here, the article dosent mention which branch of Hezbollah? Is it the "Hezbollah Save the children" branch or the" Hezbollah world peace" branch? Then again it could possibly be the "Hezbollah humantarian" branch ?
29. Bad Israel!
Chaim Ben Kahan ,   Efrat, Israel   (01.31.13)
Keep up the strikes against Hizbollah and Syrian terrorist up. The terrorist will keep trying to ship weapons to terrorist and the UN won't do a damn thing. Why is Russia always on the wrong side of justice? Oh right, It's Russia!
30. #2 Chopper 4: What about the attack on Georgia?
Dee Bee ,   Israel   (01.31.13)
Of course that doesn't count because, just like Hitler, Stalin, then and now Putin, the UK and the EU today, the only good Jews are dead ones!
