1. Ugh! Let the US keep it's distance from the Syrian wreck
Cameron ,   USA   (03.25.13)
No real good & endless troubles to come from seriously diving into that anarchic dump. The true danger lies in the weight of united howling from all the ME players such as the Syrian "opposition", Arab states, Israelis, and Turks who are so rattled by the unending mess that they all want the US to militarily intervene to bring it truly to an end (while keeping their own bottoms safely inactive & apart). Definitely worried our current Prez of Compassion & Change might finally wind up being swayed to do so by the ever louder ME chorus.
2. Now where is the international outcry at Syria using
Chopper4 ,   CPT, South Africa   (03.25.13)
phosphorus? The international activists did not and still do not let up about Israel using it. Yet are silent when Syria does. Just another example of the hypocrisy.
3. Isaiah 17:1-3!!!
Jake Stone ,   USA   (03.25.13)
In desperation, Assad WILL use WMD's on Northern Israel, and when he does, the prophetical fulfillment of Isaiah 17:1 comes to fruition. Damascus, Syria will disappear over-night! Can anyone picture a mushroom cloud?! God bless Israel; praying for the peace of Jerusalem!!!
4. Regional power
Keren IL-BR   (03.25.13)
As a regional power and the only respected nation in this part of the world, Israel should intervene in Syria and put an end to that balagan. Just send the tanks, remove Assad and bring new life to that miserable country.

A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.25.13)
Don't be a fool. A mushroom cloud over Damascus can wipe out Israel! It would be a choice of desperation when no other method is possible. It would not save us, but take them with us...
6. look closely at # 1
Maggidon ,   USA   (03.25.13)
If this cameron isn't a pacifist, nothing else is. Can we all put this one on ignore please?
7. #4 Israel should stay out of this
Get Real ,   UK   (03.25.13)
conflict as far as possible, and not be dragged into the mess to suit the purposes of any Syrian side. Let the UN and/or US-EU-NATO take responsibility for any intervention. #1 In the meantime Israel only needs to act, or rather re-act, to whoever attacks her.
8. Keren # 4
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (03.25.13)
Just send the tanks, remove Assad and bring new life to that miserable country. How did that work out in Iraq?
9. #3 Jake Stone
Eric ,   Toronto   (03.25.13)
I can't believe there are people as ignorant as yourself! Do you really think Israel will not be affected if a mushroom cloud falls over Damascus?
10. #3 Jack
John Hagee ,   Austin, TX   (03.25.13)
You are absolutely spot on...and a true Bible connoisseur. May the Lord bless you and may HE bless Israel
11. e.g israel at war
DANNY TAWIL ,   ENGLAND   (03.25.13)
ISRAEL AT WAR ANY TIME, THEY GO IN DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND THEN COME OUT. WHY DOES IT TAKE AMERICA AND ANY OTHER COUNTRY AGES TO ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING. PLEASE PRINT THIS YNET
12. # 8
Keren, IL-BR   (03.25.13)
Just go to Erbil and ask any Kurd there how is the situation now...
13. I'm getting confused with the 2 Keren's :-)
Harry Wright ,   UK   (03.25.13)
It would be nice if posters will identify them when replying with: "Keren" or "Fake Keren". Thank you.
14. Wait for it folks!
DavidR ,   USA   (03.25.13)
Obama will deny this news article at any moment! Otherwise he will have to do something after his brag about a red line that can't be crossed. Once again he will smile and make nice words to the media and the leftists cowards will run to his lying shelter for fear they will have to put their money where their mouths are.
15. ignorance knows no bounds! #9
DavidR ,   USA   (03.25.13)
Erec, There are weapons at Israel's disposal that are sufficient to destroy Damascus and cause mushroom clouds that are not nuclear. Are you still living in the 40's/ However, I will not stoop to your level and call you ignorant.
16. what comes around goes around
yamid ,   slovenia   (03.25.13)
Syrian terrorist army used to bomb civilian areas in Beirut with these chemical weapons and no one wept a tear, buildings used to fall like sand and victims were never been identified. The Irony is that a bunch of terorrist in the syrian revolution who bombed civilian areas will have the chance to play the innocent and get full media and world coverage, this should stop and let syrians kills each other as they did to the Lebanese and the neighboring countries. Next stop, israel must nuke their vital strategies and funding starting by proposing a full blockade on the private banks that chanels funds outside syria on behalf of the cbs and cbos. these fundings are the core survival of these regime and private banks are funding also the new terror cells operating in Syria
17. WONDER WHAT ERDOGAN AND CO.
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (03.26.13)
are going to do now? Or how about the Suadis? I hope USA can manage this directly getting involved yet.
18. As forewarned.
John Prophet   (03.26.13)
Israel the Barbarians are at the gates and you’re surrounded by those who want you dead. They will not wake up one morning with peace in their hearts and love you. They wake up each morning with the same hate and more and greater weapons they plan to use on you. Those who preach peace with evil are fools; they will be the first to turn and walk away if you are destroyed and forget you ever existed. Shun them for they are blinded by the same evil that has you in it’s sights. It is written!
19. To: Harry at No. 13
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.26.13)
The trolls' language and usage invariably betray them. I'm not sure why there are people out there who so loathe themselves that they profess to be someone they are not, I know at least in my case that the trolls cannot sustain the head fake. The trolls who try and pass themselves off as me always keep their posts short. Even so, they fall well short of imitating my unique writing style and, sooner or later, their poor grammar, usage and spelling betray them. The trolls are disturbed and sad individuals, and are truly to be pitied.
20. To: Eaglebeak at No. 8
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.26.13)
Apart from the fact that the "Keren" that posted at No. 4 is a troll, may I remind you that it was the United States that was responsible for how things went in Iraq, not Israel. That said .... I wish you and those you hold close a very blessed Easter.
