1. Caption:"Peaceful Resistance?" IS THAT A JOKE?!
(04.16.07)
2. Sound tactic
Ryan ,   Calgary, Canada   (04.16.07)
Nothing like going into peace talks, saying if you don't accept then we fight. Not the best mood setter available. Any peace proposal is a farce, as the only way Israel will have peace is by relocating to another continent. If you can't take a beast down with one blow, then you hack away until it's dead. Piece by piece.

4. Not mature enough for public negotiation
Steve ,   USA   (04.16.07)
B"H There is a serious difference between having the level of maturity to discuss a subject and not. I am not seeing the level of maturity from Syria right now, but just a lot of disrespect which does not help their public cause. The Syrian Information Minister in this article states: "any nation living under occupation has the prerogative to resist. In Lebanon, Palestine and Iraq, we must liberate all occupied Arab land." That is a war declaration and not one of a peace negotiation. But in the meanwhile, Syria has placed a plan on the table of their expectations which is that the Arabs will be expelled from Syria and other Arab states without receiving State citizenship. Why is it so shocking if some Israeli says that the Arabs without State citizenship should be expelled to Arab countries, when on the other hand if the Arab countries form a summit to say the exact same thing in pretty language, that they want to expell their Arabs that do not have citizenship, that there is no outrage? To "librate Arab land" means to get rid of the Arabs who moved there to countries like Syria on their own choice (given certain promises form their host countries) but who have not been granted citizenship in their host countries. In other words the Arab states want to expel the violent undesirable Arabs more than Israel does, so much so that there are threats of war against Israel in hopes that Israel will become a dumping ground for Syrian undesirables. Any State that makes war on Israel has the possibility of realizing a prisoner release to that State and so much more, perhaps even the whole PA and Hamas organization to see what real Arab occupation is like. Look at Europe already with its expanding internal population, which regularly shows compassion and funding for a Hamas war on Israel! These states know it, and that is why their armies are safe at home and safely distanced from Israel. But if these States want to talk (and I see no indication of success in that area), the maturity level needs to go up a notch or two. At least Europe knows how to talk with Israel. Syria has not seemed to have figured it out yet. Or else it is still trying to appease its internal undesireables crowd that it promised a destroyed Israel to. I am not seeing an opening to talk with Israel yet though with such pronouncements, except through secret channels.
5. Give it back
mohhamed ,   Tor Can   (04.16.07)
Jew always take what dosnt belong to them My son abdul was playing ice hockey and big jew man hit him on head with hockey stick, and tore off abduls turban and didnt give it back, I think i'm going to stab that guy. I just here jew man shot bunch of people at school in america. The brave people of islam will take back hites.. then jew people must give it back.
6. bring it on
DAVID ,   TEL AVIV, ISRAEL   (04.16.07)
Bring it on,. You terrorists antisemitic bastards. No wonder you say these claims the day Israel conmemorates The Holocaust and near its Independece Day _Bring it on you lost the GOLAN IN A WAR YOU STARTED AND YOU WILL LOOSE AGAIN! LONG LIVE ISRAEL
7. resistance will be the only way to liberate
Mark ,   Boston   (04.16.07)
Doesn't this equate to War? Will someone please tell me the difference between resistance and war, because I can find no difference.
8. Syria, another example showing that Islam is WEAK
Kissel   (04.16.07)
Resistance....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Show some guts and be the proud Arab Muslums you are and go ahead and truly fight strait up in Government Military Uniforms that identify that you are a combatant and come on done and give us a whoopin. You won't bacause Islam is weak and can only fight its wars hiding behind civilians. ISLAM IS WEAK. Proof Positive
9. Damned if you do , damned if you don't
Sam ,   Canada   (04.16.07)
What's Syria offering? War if israel doesn't give up the Golan. The end of Israel as a Jewish country if they make peace according to the present interprtation of the Saudi Initiative. Syria is inviting the end of the Bashar Assad regime with this stance.
10. Threats are not acts of Peace
Mark ,   United States   (04.16.07)
Threats are acts of War!!
11. syria is responsible for every war
jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (04.16.07)
that they started will Israel from 1948 on. Before 67 they would shoot rockets, and sniper fire down on Kibbutz Kfar Szolds on the base of the Golan. There was no supposed occupation then, so what was there excuse for these violations. Hypocrtic, liars, and victums of there own Syrian bullsh*t! The Golan Heights is Israel and always will be. Nobody would have given Germany back to Hitler if the coward didn't kill himself.
12. @2, Well, Ryan;
Fred Nerks ,   Israel   (04.16.07)
What a hypocrite you are. You preface your unrealistic 'solution for peace' with "Not the best mood setter available.", and then offer filth as hatefull as any ever published (in the Syrian press). (& Israel is not on a continent... fool)
13. syria
fish   (04.16.07)
why doesn't israel issue a statement:"if syria dares start the conflict, we'll attack assad's palaces, destroy syria's infrastructure, and cause irreparable damage to its economy". such statement must cool some stupid hotheads in syria. every schmuck there threatens us every day, and we talk about peace with syria.
14. Looks like we'll be eating felafel in Damascus soon
Dani ,   Tel Aviv   (04.16.07)
Maybe we should send a mashgiach in advance to make sure everything is kosher so that there will be no issues when we arrive.
15. They sound so Dalik
Ilan ,   Ariel   (04.16.07)
Right, surrender and die. Just the thing for starting a peace conference.
16. I told you the road to peace goes through Damascus
Nancy Pelosi ,   California   (04.16.07)
17. why peace now?
griff ,   tacoma   (04.16.07)
here is a good question, why is it that all of a sudden syria wants a peace agreement, there is definitely something else going on here, especially when they say, agree to peace or we'll fight you. i just dont know about it, peace processes are a give and take process, not here is what the plan will look like, now accept it or face annihilation, which is kinda of funny because the always attack israel and never win, why will this time be any different?
18. Golan-ALL Israel given to Jews by the Wonderful, MIGHTY G-D
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (04.16.07)
Bible, Deuteronomy 4:43 ...and Golan in Bashan for the Manassites. Who will dare to challenge the awesome One great G-D of the Universe by attempting to give, take away, or steal even one inch of the Holy Land that G-D gave to all Jews for all eternity. G-D is a G-D to be feared! Bible, Psalm 119:120 My flesh trembles for fear of You, and I am afraid of your judgments.
19. #5 Mohammed, how in the world did you get admitted
Richard ,   BC   (04.16.07)
to a civilized country like Canada. You're the best example for closing down the borders to further immigration into Canada.
20. All of Israel's enemies smell weakness
Richard ,   BC Canada   (04.16.07)
so they are ganging up on Israel. The solution is obvious. Start with a new strong government, then inspire some respect.
21. Haha, Hey Syria, Keep talking and come and get it!
HIstorical Observer   (04.16.07)
Yea yea, we kicked their butts in there triumphant war during our holy holidays. I'd like to see them start an offensive now. That's the whole point of us keeping the Golan, to protect us from this kind of aggression and threat! Good thing we kept such a strategic piece of land. So sorry Syria will never get to see it again;)
22. It just pisses Arabs off so much to see Israel beat them:)
Observer ,   Israel   (04.16.07)
They know the only true way to erase the past from history is to try to get back the land they lost in a war and then teach their children that the war never happened:) Lol, stupid arabs, you can't revise history till you accept the truth first! Israel beat you, end of the fairy tale.
23. Paging Ms. Pelosi.... Is there a blind fool in the house?
Zvi ,   USA   (04.16.07)
Syria's regime is a mafia of thugs and murderers. The bloody knif is always close at hand.
24. Fred Nerks
Ryan ,   Calgary, Canada   (04.16.07)
Hyprocrite? Can you state any hypocrisy in my post? I say, what an illiterate you are! This is not the most sound tactic, stating if you don't accept our peace initiative then we will fight you, Do you think that it is? The second part of my post is the tactic being used right now. Have you already given land for peace with the Palis? Did you get your peace? Do you think it's forthcoming without giving more land? Are you agreeing then to give more land in another attempt at achiveing peace with neighbours who have no desire to offer you peace, only false hopes in return for land. You attack me, when you have the wrong definition of my posting, which is why i question your intellect. Is it wrong to state that your neighbours are slowly trying to take away all of your land until you live on houseboats, all the while promising you peace which never arrives. And Israel is a part of Asia, are you serious, "Israel is not on a continent" What does it float then, leave it to the arabs and it will. and when I say relocate to another continent, that is exactly how the arabs want to have peace with you, as stated by their leaders, eliminating the state of Israel, or are you unaware that arab and persian leaders have asked for Israel to be relocated to Europe or N. America. Your so messed up looking for "antisemitic" behaviour that you don't even see a friend when he's writing warnings under your nose.
25. ISRAEL IS WEAK BECAUSE OLMERT.WITHOUT HIM WE' LL WIN !!!!
David   (04.16.07)
26. This time WE KEEP ALL OF SYRIA! A-RABS YOU LOSE DONT CRY!
ISRAEL   (04.16.07)
27. Read Mohhamed's # 5 email for a good night laugh
Judah ,   Golan Heights,ISRAEL   (04.16.07)
28. Syria Shall Burn
Allah   (04.16.07)
29. To Mark from Boston
christa ,   near Monaco   (04.16.07)
Clearly, war is against a foreign country, and resistance is against an occupying force. Remember WW II : resistance was against German (and allied countries) forces in occupied Europe. You cant say there was a war going on there (the war was elsewhere). My grand uncle was in the resistance then.
30. A call for WAR
malcolm   (04.16.07)
While Livni & Olmert are pleasuring themselves, Israel lost precious time to regroup for the next war. Livni planned to and wants to surrender the Golan for the sake of disproving her fathers theories on survival of the Jewish state. And Olmert is squirming to save his butt. Syria wants a war and believes they have a shot ONCE AGAIN at destroying Israel for good.
