31. #16 - hey Melissa, you're missing the BDS meeting
William ,   Israel   (01.31.13)
in the tent outside in the muddy part of the park. Indiscriminate? War crime? I laugh at your antagonist post full of conjecture, you sappy moron. The target was a military convoy, and was a direct hit with one missile rather than a blanket bombing raid. All allowable under Intl Law in the rules of war between two States which are currently at war. HRW - you're funny. Must be why the founder of HRW both left the org and continues to decry your racist, bias agenda.
32. #16 - "we here at HRW are with you in solidarity"
William ,   Israel   (01.31.13)
Then may I invite you to travel to Syria and act as human shields around future convoys.
33. # 20
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.31.13)
Yeah right!! Two weeks a year, owning property in Tel-Aviv & having an Israeli passport = dual nationality=( a British passport also) does not give you the right to bad mouth Israel at every opportunity you have. French, British, American,Canadian, Australian,South African & German Jews own properties all over Israel. Some of them also have Israeli dual nationality. So what? You did not serve in the IDF ( & dont try to lie yourself out of that fact) you have not lived here longer than a micro-minute, you have never felt the pain of loosing a loved one by a suicide attack, a terrorist attack or by war. You do not know what it's like to say goodbye to your son or daughter on a Sunday morning when he /she leaves home after a weekend break, knowing full well you may not set eyes on him/her, ever again. If you think that there are moderators on this website who read our posts, you are wrong. You spent your money here on a property for your own comfort, for the sunshine you hardly have in London. Money does not buy you the right to throw mud at the Israeli Government, no matter how important it makes you feel. You are not one of ''us'' & you will never be, so kindly stop trying so hard.
34. Muslim Derangement Syndrome #16
SteveR ,   dallas usa   (01.31.13)
Muslims believe they have the right to subject others and no one has the right to fight back. Moreover, their religion teaches them that they will win. So fighting back and defeating the muslims causes them to become deranged to some degree IMHO. When the Jews defeat them and not only defeat them, but prosper while the muslims actually destroy themselves, it turns their whole world view upside down and naturally they seethe with anger and frustration at their impotence and at how they are not the best people but the worst of all peoples. It is like a huge cosmic mistake. Every Jewish victory makes them crazy. That is why #16 is calling for genocide - against the Jews. Only a psychiatrist can help.

Take your wish & gently shove it where the sun does not shine. Pretty please!
36. # 22
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.31.13)
Yay, good post, Jake. Spot on. I hope my answer to the nitwit @ # 20 will be published!
37. #26 David
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (01.31.13)
I don't hate Israel, I hate the politicians who are messing it up. There is a difference it is called criticising the decisions made by your political leaders if you think they are nuts. And attacking Syria was 10/10 in the nuts stakes. The missiles were AA defensive, not a threat to Israel, yet Hezbollah was allowed to move Scud B and M600 ground to ground missiles unmolested. There is no logic to Netanyahu's actions.
38. Thankyou for your response Eaglebeak
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (01.31.13)
it shows a very thoughful and incisive point of view to the situation the whackjobs in government are leading Israel into There will be consequences, there always is we cannot go invading and bombing states with impunity and expect there to be no blowback. Anyone who thinks so is just as nuts as our politicians
39. You notice how Eaglebeak drums for war
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (01.31.13)
even though he couldn't live further away from Israel if he tried without getting his feet wet. A bigger existential threat to Israel than Hezbollah, or Hamas. At least there is some logic to what they do
40. mellyjelly@16 and apt name!
Arlene ,   Israel   (01.31.13)
Israel defend yourself and your people. Syria will go on killing oneach side, Hizbolla you have been warned. And jellybean@16...No need to free Palestine, it has been, its called ISRAEL!...you got probs, have a word with Jordan!
41. serious implications' for Tel Aviv
Nick ,   Den Haag Holland   (01.31.13)
Assaads Forces will be A walnut under a tractor. and then something else mr.akbar,Jerusalem is the Capitol of the middle east.
42. SYRIA, IRAN AND ISRAEL.
SJOERD VAN DER VELDE ,   HOORN NH, HOLLAND   (01.31.13)
SYRIA, IRAN AND HEZBOLLAH BETTER CAN THINK TWICE BEFORE THEY CARRY OUT THEIR THREAT TO ISRAEL. THEY DO NOT WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES CAN BE FOR THEM. PEACE AND PROSPERITY FOR ISRAEL!
43. Apocalypse near
Zechariah   (01.31.13)
An apocalypse for Iran is near .Karbala is not immune and the south of Lebanon needs to be cleared as an real Demilitirized zone .
44. syria strike
Dave ,   deer park, usa   (01.31.13)
Do any of you commenting here read the Holy Bible ? And if you do, what does it say about Israel returning to God ? I don't think a lot of you have any idea what you are talking about.
45. # 39
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.31.13)
Eaglebeak has been defending & supporting Israel & the Jewish people on this forum much longer than you have been posting your undiluted, idiotic,stupid, talkbacks. Eagleberak is respected & liked here, you madam, are not.
46. Caught with their pants down ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.31.13)
.... or, in the case of the mullahs, their skirts up. Just enough blather to pretend to save face in the Arab and Moslem communities. Iran has made many threats against Israel, but Israel continues to intercept its weapons-carrying vessels (including sinking two that barely cleared Bandar Abbas), destroy its convoys (remember the Sudan?), blow up its weapons-generating factories (remember the Sudan?), take out its top terrorists (remember the Sudan?), trash its computer networks (STUXNET, DUQU, TILDED, FLAME), take out its top nuclear scientists, and now -- Fordo! Iran knows quite well the depth and extent of Israel's reach. As to Syria -- well, we've rolled over them before, and we can roll over them pretty much at will. By the way -- has anyone noticed the remarkable silence from the rest of the world? Silence always indicates consent, and even -- especially in this case -- approval. Seems the rest of the world, while generally quick to criticize Israel, is perfectly happy to let Israel clean up its messes. There's a word for that, you know -- hypocrisy.
47. Destroy Iran's nukes NOW! Don't worry about Obama, U.N.
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.31.13)
The Six Days War, Entebbe and countless other events prove that Israel is capable of heroic needs. We simply need to do what has to be done. Don't worry about what Obama, the U.N. and other despicable entitities think. This land is ours now and forever. We will not cede any part of our land to evil "Palestinian" poseurs. Nor will we tolerate a nuclear Iran. Destroy Iran's nukes NOW!
48. Dear Jake, Eaglebeak, Birdi and William
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (01.31.13)
Great posts...moderator didn't accept mine about the camel dung smoker@16. Shalom from Lodz
49. a thought
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.31.13)
As an Israeli citizen she should be a paying member of a Kupat Holim. Wondering if Sarah of London/TA is paying her monthly taxes for this service.
50. Birdi #35, why gently? And medoubts she/he/it is pretty!
Jake   (01.31.13)
51. #37 Israel will do just fine without you, dear.
Jake   (01.31.13)
So do stay put in London, you won't be missed. No doubt you are severely disappointed that the convoy of SA-17 missiles, and possible chem-bio, which the Syrian regime was attempting to transfer to Hizbullah, did not reach its destination. You must be feel truly gutted that Israel's enemies across the border have one less tool at their disposal with which to threaten, attack, and slaughter Israelis.
52. To: Jake at No. 23
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.31.13)
"Melissa" is not an American. Caught her once using British spelling. But it is intereseting that someone who purports to work for the Human Rights Watch would call for genocide ....
53. 29 Jake, I know that she is worse than delusional
Cipora Julianna Kohn ,   Z   (01.31.13)
however, all psychopaths believe they are smarter and better than others. her delusion is in her belief that israel can be destroyed. of course, a psychopath is evil by definition.
54. # 48
Birdi ,   Israel is ours.   (01.31.13)
Kudos & Shabbat Shalom to you Mark.
55. #38...PHONY Sarah, mind your own business !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (01.31.13)
YOU have NOTHING to do with Israel !
56. .
The Zionist Mullah   (01.31.13)
The end of the world must be near since people get so excited about killing each other and the use of biological, chemical, nuclear weapons gets people all excited. This is human life we are talking about, who cares the race, religion, creed. Open your eyes for once and see what you are backing. Even animals don't behave this badly. SAD.
57. #38,39, Sarah from Londonistan are you
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (01.31.13)
happy with your Muzzie friends in bad old Europe ? I am sure, they will just love your opinion ...
58. Mark #48
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (01.31.13)
I bet it would have been a great post. I would have liked to have seen it.
59. #38,#39, Sarah you are in support of Mr. Assad ?
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (01.31.13)
Hmmm...are you an enemy of the Jewish state ? OF COURSE YOU ARE !
60. To: No. 37
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.31.13)
Funny how all that "unexploded" Israeli ordnance has managed, by my count, to wipe out four massive Hezbollah missile storage facilities. Then, of course, there was the Israeli drone that magically "dropped" out of the sky over Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon and fell intact to the earth. Praising Allah for their great good fortune, Hezbollah quickly hustled the drone off to their top, top secret missile storage facility and waited for their Iranian masters to show up and have a look at this incredible prize. The drone, as you may or may not recall, blew up several hours later, destroying the entire facility, with a shock wave that was felt as far away as Tripoli. By the way -- where did you serve in the IDF? I keep asking you, but you have yet to respond ..... can it be that while you are full of (unwanted) opinions concerning Israel's future, you neglected to perform that most basic obligation of Israeli citizenship? Aren't you the little hypocrite!
