aimed at them? We should promise them they will be nuked and a good portion of their country will be destroyed.

So why is this government ignoreing the Homefront still? Where is the leadership,why are they not building shelters in the North and refurbishing them for long term use? Where are our new gas masks or replacement filters? Have the local authorities drawn up emergency plans,if so how come the residents don't know anything about them? If we had a Prudent and wise leader all these things would have been taken care of by now,but it is not too late yet Mr Olmert,get off your Butt and order the shelters fixed,the gas masks handed out because it will be harder to do these things under fire and many people will die because of your short sightedness! Prepare the homefront now be a strong leader Israel needs a leader like FDR who can speak to the international community like Churchill did in WWII and get the international community to have a unified front against Iran,Syria and Hezbollah!!!!!

Regardless how hard Syrians hit Israeli civilians, one thing is sure - Assad will lose his grip on power and be forced to hide lest his own people will hang him for the suicidal step he took in attacking Israel. If he believes that Israel will deal with Syria just lke it did with the Hezbollah, then they are in for a surprise. The onslaught delivered for any Syrian attack will be something that neither Iraq nor Iran have seen in a long time (if ever). Lebanon and Beirut was a tiny prelude of what awaits Damascus if any of the Israeli civilians are attacked. Israel has "several" missiles too and the Syrians better not force us to use them. Syria's future is with a peace with Israel - even at giving up its dreams of ever seeing the Golan heights given back. They lost the Golan as a result of their wars against Israel and now they will lose much more - Damascus and their much prized command bunkers and "secret" bases earmarked as "Assad saving bunkers". The moment his regime will lose Damascus, the internal oposition will hunt the Alawis like dogs until they are extinct and guess who will not move a finger to help? You're right! The Persians! So c'mon Assad, send your rockets - the moment you press the button you will also kick in the contdown of your demise - and that count will not be too long, believe me :-)

Syria and Iran need to understand that ISrael will not tolerate any attack on its people and soil. Unfortunately, Israel showed a lot of weakness during the last war with Hezballah. This only emboldens the radical muslims around the world. They understand fear even better...we need to show them that fear.

you will surely get burnt. Just you dare start something and you and your country will be fully retributed.

Last year's Lebanon war showed Israel this: Israel has no choice but to use all its strength in the next war. It will not be concerned if innocent civilians get hurt like it did last year. It will be forced to stike hard because survival is on the line.

would it be to much to ask this clown to look at history? every time that some syrian dictator thought that it was easier to attack Israel than to build his country, he wound up bringing catastrophe to syria. assad should realize that the stupidity that he is contemplating will destroy his country and him.

The arabs have a decision to make. a.) live in peace b.) die in war I dont believe for one minute the israeli's are seeking this war. My cousin's husband was a US Marine...I got to looking at his sword. At the base of the blade where the handle connects is the star of david. There wont be another holocaust if we the western world wont allow it. God Help us all...

According to their strategic logic, it would follow that Israel must unilaterally pull out of Golan heights, to the shores of the kinneret. Barak will also insist on putting anti-missile defence on shores of kinneret, to neutralise the syrian threat. There is also a Palestinian claim for haifa and yaffa, so they can pull out from the coast and put anti-missile defence wherever is left of israel.

but isrfael, especially after the lebanon war, is dealing with an army now, a syrian army, not a guerilla and this is where the idf excells. this time the gloves are off especially because now israel knows what will work for her. this time, no fear against killing civilians, no fear against demolishing infrastructures cand no fear against liquidating everything that stands in their way. i can guarantee assad, that should he even touch a hair of a tel avivian, he will loose damascus. the entire country will be in shambles, destroyed. israeli pilots know how to avoide surface to air missiles and they have the cockpit technology to diffuse them in mid air as well as avoiding anti aircraft artilary. they are excellent pilots and dog fighters in the air and syria has zero chance of ever winning over them. the war will be lost by syria. who knows, once we were 20 km from damascus. now we can get there in no time and create our own buffer zone so syria can never launch missiles at israel at all. assad will cry like a baby and all the while, his regime will be toppled by those who oppoose him, which is quite a lot! and iran, the chicken, will never come to his aid. iran doesn't send troops to fight. it sends proxies like hizbolla and hamas. hizbullah can;t afford to get involved because lebanon will be bombed again and the people there will have a huge uprising, turning on hizbullah.

Olmert and Kadima are a disaster. Anyone with a brain knew that the weakness and ineptitude they displayed in Lebanon was an invitation for more wars and more Jewish lives lost. Israel better wake up and change leadership or there will only be more disasters like lebanon awaiting. We need a leader like Bibi, that the arabs understand will react with strength and skill, not the Kadima clowns who only fill their own pockets with public money and give away our land.

The Authorized King James Bible ISAIAH chapter 17, verse 1 is the warning of the judgment of Damascus by the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. President Assad should read it. He should not attack Israel.

says in Isaiah 17:1 of the Authorized King James Bible. It will become a heap of rocks and the people will die in the streets. That is the judgment of Damascus from thousands of years ago by the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

i am old enough to know you are an arab. arabs usually do not think, do not forsee consequences of their actions in their zeal to start a war and erase years of shame and dihonor israel dealt them throughout their wars 1948, nakhba, 1958, 1956, 1973, etc... and yes, even 2006. sorry hani, palestinian vagabond living in the usa under a democratic regime. yes, hani, palestinian vagabond who seems to find it easy to support her people from so far away. you are occupying our land here, hani. get out and help your people. after all, you enjoyed years of freedom of thought under democracy. why don't you go back to hebron, gaza, nablus (shchem, by the way) and start actively gettinmg your people out of opression and stagnation, out of their hate and despair, out of the corruption and being used as pawns by your "esteemed" leaders such a mashaal and haniyeh and also nasralla. get off our land and go away. you people have brought only terror and wars because this is your past, your present and will always be your future. even emongst yourselves you can't get along....tribal mentality where corruption reigns, where secrecy and plots to murder reign, where there is not one once of sincerity about arab support or feelings for the plight of palestinians. always easy to shout death to the big and little satan, death to the west......as long as you people shut your eyes to the real people that are culpable for your conditions.....your leaders and yourselves and your shouk mentality.

In the case of a Syrian attack, even if it is "Hezbollah style," the Syrian army will be completed destroyed. They will suffer massive casualties and they have no means to prevent this. On top of that, Israel's counterattack will be brutal, there will be many civilians casualties. There is no positive for this for Syria. Even if they get the Golan back, their cities will be in ruins.

you have suffered a MASSIVE head injury haven't you dante

Israel will nuke anyone who is a danger for it .. Iran is breaking tht Israeli domination . Its not easy for Israel to use Nukes , when other side is fighting without nukes .. The way UN created , that way only Israel will be dismantle . Dont talk abt using Nukes .. people are too stupid here . Zoinist mentality sucks alot more than Islamic Fundamentalism.

DO THEY REALLY THINK THAT THEY HAVE THE SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE AND POWER TO CONFRONT THE REST OF THE WORLD? HOW MANY DEATHS AND WARS DO THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEIR WAY OF THINKING WILL LEAD THEM TO THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION?? IF SYRIA IGNITES THE FIRE, THE PRICE THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT WILL BE VERY HIGH.

As John Hagee has said, the smaller Israel becomes the more likeky it will have to rely on nuclear weapons. It will leave only Nukes as an option for survival. Anyone agree?

Your incoherant talkback is confusing to say the least, but you do expose yourself to be ignoratn with your last statement. Zionism is worst than radical Islam? How many people have died in the name of either? you do the math and get back to us.

INDEED ISRAEL MUST PREPARE WITH THE UTMOST SPEED TO COUNTER WHAT IS BEING PLANNED TO DESTROY THE COUNTRY. THE CIA WILL NOT TELL YOU THIS BUT I WILL. IT IS VERY EASY TO SEE THE WHOLE PICTURE IF ONE HAS 38 YEARS IN THE INTELLIGENCE BUSINESS. NOW, I WILL TELL YOU SIR AS YOU ALREADY KNOW IRAN WANTS TO DETROY YOU AND THE U.S. BUT THEY HAVE NEEDED OTHER ALLIES TO MAKE THEIR DREAM COME TRUE. CERTAINLY, SYRIA IS ALIGNED AND WILL INDEED MAKE A FUTURE STRIKE ON ISRAEL, BUT BOTH SYRIA AND IRAN BOTH KNEW THEY NEEDED A STRONG MILITARY POWER TO BACK THEM. RUSSIA IS ON THE MOVE AS YOU KNOW SIR. RUSSIA HAS THE U.S. AND ISRAEL IN THE MOST AWKWARD POSITION OF TRYING TO GUESS WHAT ROLE THEY WILL PLAY IN THE COMING ISRAELI INVASION. THE PLANET KNOWS THAT THE U.S FORCES ARE STRETCHED TO THE LIMIT AT THIS TIME. IT IS EASY TO SEE THAT RUSSIA IS GIVING THE NOD TO IRAN AND AIDING SYRIA TO KEEP THE U.S. OCCUPIED IN IRAQ WHILE THEY FINALIZE THEIR PLANS TO DESTROY ISRAEL. THE RUSSIAN (FSB) IS ALL OVER THE MIDDLE EAST GATHERING HUMINT. I HAVE SPENT 30 YEARS STUDYING RUSSIAN AND ISLAMIC TACTICS. ONE IS EITHER BLINDED OR VERY NAIVE NOT TO SEE THE TRAP THE U.S. IS IN AT THIS TIME. BELIEVE ME PLEASE THAT SYRIA, IRAN, RUSSIA AND SEVERAL OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE ALREADY MADE THEIR PLANS FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL AND THE U.S. NOTHING SHORT OF NUCLEAR WAR CAN STOP THESE EVIL COUNTRIES FROM INVADING AND DESTROYING MOST OF ISRAEL IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE. PLEASE PREPARE AND NEVER DOUBT WHAT I JUST WROTE TO YOU...

Let us leave John Hagee out of this. He is relying on some book out of the NT to fulfill his fantasy. He wants war so much.

If Syria attacks Haifa or Beer Sheva I don't think Israel will respond. Otherwise it will be the end of Olmert's government. Only if Syria will destroy the North Tel Aviv, Barak wouldn't have a choice but to respond.

What kind of Indian Observer are you if you are so blind ? Had you desired to see only a bit, you would have noticed the long blood trail left by your Fundamental Islamist buddies from your very country up to Algeria and Morroco. You could have also noticed their sheer terror-for- pleasure,crimes and suicide bombings all through Asia, Europe and the two Americas. Go, get checked by an ophthalmologist !
