31. No surprise, Syria and Iran have no interest in helping
David ,   Boston, USA   (07.21.07)
their own people. Alawites wont be in power forever. Syria may disappear instead of Lebanon. A shame that Iran is more interested in war than their own economy. Another doomed country.
32. So; soon there will be two more Iraq/s!?
Daniel ,   Israel   (07.21.07)
Syrian’s you do not know what you are doing. You are playing with fire. That can turn you in to ash. There is one crack person in Iran and there is one in your country. The one in your country is a confused character; one side he talks about peace with Israel; other side he has rearmed Hizbullah. Now he has opened third side with Iran! Have you not witnessed during 48 war and again in other two wars? What happened of the promises Arab leaders made to their own common people? Very prominent result is still evidence; Palestinians got scattered all over neighboring countries; they are still problem for you. What happened last year? South Lebanese are still scared to return to their homes. Your leaders are shouting from bottom of their lungs about the victory last year over Israel. But in fact looser are common people of your country; not Israelis. We have repaired our damages and are back to normal almost immediately after skirmishes were over. Ahmadinejad will go Saddam way and you commoners will suffer for generations. Mark my words.
33. I'D LIKE 'MAHMOOD' TO BE THERE WHEN SHE "BLOWS" :-)

34. ATTACK IRAN NOW!!!
Matthew ,   U.S.A.   (07.21.07)
WHAT IS AMERICA AND ISRAEL WAITING FOR??? WHY THEN DID ISRAEL ATTACK IRAQ'S NUCLEAR REACTOR? ARE WE REALLY GOING TO SIT BACK AND WAIT FOR IRAN TO ARM ITSELF WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS? GO IDF!!!
35. #9 Fadi
Howard K ,   NYC   (07.21.07)
I imagine you live in exile because Syria does not allow internet access to Israel. That said, I need to remind you that Israel does not have the intention to attack Syria. So Israel and Syria are at peace. Not formally, but for all practical purposes, Israel is at peace with Syria. If peace is what you want, you have it already. But you want the Golan. Why not say so and and stop calling it "Peace".
36. This proves the absurdity in Bush's thinking
Howard K ,   USA   (07.21.07)
Bush, who apparently thinks he owns Israel, believes that giving away the Golan will be the magic act that will turn Syria to the West. The influence of Iran without a Saddam to stop them is now so overwhelming that covert action is all that the US has available right now. Years ago I would have supported an invasion, but two big failures, Iraq and Afghanistan, are enough to sober me up. There is a significant opposition in Iran and they are our best hope. And above all, keep Iranian influence out of Gaza!
37. The silver lining.... Israel keeps the Golan, for now.
Howard K ,   NYC   (07.21.07)
38. This is all Olmerts fault, We need Netanyahu
Jack ,   USA   (07.21.07)
How dumb of a chump he is. What are we waiting for now? Where is the outcry? Call for new elections now and get rid of these ostrich's from the leaft appeasers. The time now is 1 minute to midnight, what are you hoping for. Livini and Barak and the rest of these people are contributing to this. Foolish and dangerous people.
39. has Israel to enter peace talks with Syria in return for
(07.21.07)
military assistance from the USA? then, it's Israel's choice to give up USA military assistance in order to start talk.
40. #15 sure you mean people of Israel
(07.21.07)
41. To # 9
Natan ,   USA   (07.21.07)
As alwyas, there is someone else to blame...It's never YOU. Very typical way of life in a dictatorship style government. See Fadi, there is no such thing as "will of the people" in a dictatorship. To be honest with you i don't know what you really think(as people) because you are scared to death of expressing your thoughts!!! Unlike in a democratic society where the leaders follow(or at least try) the will of the people, you follow the wishes of your leaders...Unless you overthrow your opressor Assad, you will never see peace and prosperity in your life time
42. CRY ME A RIVER!!!!!
(07.21.07)
43. It's Time To Decapitate The Snake!
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville, USA   (07.21.07)
Imagine what would happen to global Islamic terrorism - including the ongoing problems with Syria, Hezbollah, Iraq, Hamas and the rest of these parasites if Iran was to suddenly disappear off the face of the earth. I am anti-war however, the price seems well worth it.
44. Somebody eventually kill 2 Vultures with 1 Bullet.Watchout!
KMR ,   Middle East   (07.21.07)
45. Israel must take 2 steps
Cato theYounger ,   usa   (07.21.07)
In face of the dire existential threat from Syria/Iran , Israel must now: 1. Get rid of Olmert and his inept, lethal gang, replacing them with a competent, willing, and dedicated group of military general/politicians for whom the survival of Israel is of supreme importance. 2. An all-out pre-emptive attack on Syria.
46. Syria & Iran
Val ,   USA   (07.21.07)
It shows that Achmadinejad is alot smartrer than Assad. With Iraq out of the picture, Syria is trusting Iran's proposal of being an ali. It's obvious that Iran does'nt want peace with Israel, and is still vowing to wipe Israel of the face of the map. Syria is Iran's puppet. Iran will supply all the weapons to destroy Israel while Iran stays put and watch Syria dissintegrate into ashes, which makes Iran a superpower in the middle east.(Next to Israel)
47. And the min.of finance always cuts the defense budget!
jason white ,   afula,israel   (07.21.07)
Instead of increasing our defense budget and adding more modern arms to the I.D.F.,they cut the budget. Cut the welfare budget. Eliminate the child allowances for families that did not serve in the I.D.F. Stop the allyah of pensioners and taking in refugees from sudan. Cut the amount of government "workers" . Tax people and families that did not serve in the I.D.F.
48. Iran and Syria saved us from Olmert like Arafat saved us
Lemmings Hotline ,   sd usa   (07.21.07)
When our own leaders want to give away all our strength its only our enemies that save us. Thank you for saving us from Barak, Rabin and Olmert. We owe you
49. #10,11,12,16,17,18
Juan ,   Spain   (07.21.07)
FIRST: Why don't the people checking the posts get rid of these peurile comments? Karagözoğlu just damages the Ynet website. SECOND: On the point, this is of great concern, but no surprise. The longer this situation is left, the more difficult it will become to defend Israel. I hope that action is soon taken to remove the threats.
50. #49 Ow come on, Atilla's harmless. He makes us laugh!!!!!!!
jan ,   usa   (07.21.07)
51. iran to help (H)arm syria:
yossef   (07.21.07)
good news from nowhere!
52. Ah Atilla
Cameron ,   USA   (07.21.07)
If only I were an emir or sultan, then I could occasionally drag you out in front of the court to wax prophetic & blow everyone's mind. Brother, you truly keep me smiling, Turkish-style
53. Irano-Syrian war council in progress
Nora ,   Tel Aviv   (07.21.07)
Olmert, Barak, toc toc. Anybody there?
54. Iran/Syria
Mark ,   New York   (07.22.07)
Israel cannot confront Iranians. They're just too much baby. But there is always the US to take care of things. Come on Israelis get your visas and get over here there is always a shoulder in the US to cry on. Let's face it you've had a very short yet sweet honeymoon since 1948 but you just ran out of luck. We understand you. Let Iran and Hamas have all of Israel to themselves who cares, you have Uncle Sam here to look after you. We'll find you another country you don't have to move a finger leave everything to us baby. You won't post this Ynet I am 100% sure.
55. OLMERT...ASSAD...AHMADINEJAD
Elisabeth McGrath ,   Sydney Australia   (07.22.07)
How can 3 despots - so opposed to the wishes of their people - remain so powerful? All treat their citizens with the utmost contempt. And risk their peoples' security. If the Israeli people could bring down their present government, maybe the people of Syria and Iran would be encouraged to do the same. I bet the people of Lebanon would support a regime change in Syria and Iran. Think of it - Hizbullah isolated. Hamas isolated. (Fatah isolated, too??). The flow of weapons would stop. And terrorists would have to find another way to make a living.
56. ANSWERABLE?............................#2
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (08.04.07)
