2. I am jealous!
Israeli 2   (06.14.14)
Israel should have done it long time ago.
3. Arab League wants to change Israel borders. Why not theirs?

4. U.S. Helping Shia
Simon ,   Burbank, USA   (06.14.14)
Last time the U.S. did something good for the Shia in Iraq the Shia/Iranian response was Moktada Sadr. Now the Shia can deal with ISIS as they please. NO U.S. support for Shia in Iraq. NONE.
5. Reshapeing the borders in MENA is GOOD!
albert snow ,   sweden   (06.14.14)
Reshaping to fragmentation in the MENA will be good for humainty. If all the arab/muslim states reshapes to smaller states this will weaken them and the danger of islam for nonmuslim will decrease. They will be occupied with tribal fightings between themselves. So this is GOOD NEWS!!! Keep your hand out from their internal fights.
6. US ineptitude
Ian ,   USA   (06.14.14)
Its the ineptitude of US foreign policy that has allowed this to happen. "when is red line meaningless when Obama utters the words". Also Putin has been emboldened by US empty threats. What a mess!!!!!!
7. Translation is ISIL not ISIS - goal is Levant not just Syria
Professor ,   Israel   (06.14.14)
ISIS is an Arabist propaganda ploy. Not surprised it went right over ynet writers' heads. Now that you know, continuing Arabist propaganda makes ynet complicit.
8. #6 - Empty words . . .
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (06.15.14)
Since you think you could do better, lets hear your "words of wisdom." BUT note that to be anything but a raving fool, you need to ground your ideas in REALITY. Such as the fact that the citizens of the US will NOT allow the US military to fight any more wars in the ME. Obama is not going to start a foolish, wasteful war over Ukraine. If the Shia (which OUTNUMBER the Sunnis) can't squash the Sunni, then they have their own major problems.
9. This is not ISIS, this is the return of the BAATH

Perhaps they will have more brain than the Malikis, and Sistanis.
