1. Why only the Georgian Jews?
Rami ,   London   (08.10.08)
But why are the "Russians" not protesting? Why only the Georgians? Are they not all Jews? Should not all be against the bully bear's murders?
2. DUAL CITIZENSHIP, SELF-DETERMINATION, & WAR CRIMES
Arik Silverman ,   Milwaukee USA   (08.09.08)
Do these Israelis from Georgia retain dual citizenship with Georgia? Well tens of thousands of Ossetians have dual citizenship with Russia. From reports to date it appears that Georgia started the violence. Moreover it started the war crimes by shelling civilians on So. Ossetia's capital. QUESTION: If it's ok for Georgia to separate from Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union, why should people in South Ossetia be denied the right of self-determination? Why should they be forced to live in Georgia if they don't want to? Their homeland borders Russia and it seems a just solution would be to give it to Russia if that's what the people want.
3. US/EU globalists caused the war.
Robert ,   USA   (08.10.08)
Just like Iran invasion is more for petro dollars and Saudi oil monopoly. A nuclear Iran is just a by-product of those safely accross the ocean. Like nuclear Iraq was from US/EU/Saudi support of Saddam against Iran. Until he turned on them.

5.  Georgia
Vadim ,   US   (08.10.08)
Yes Aruk Silverman China borders Russia too. So according to you it should be incorporated into Russia. the US borders Canada , after all . . . How about if the Russphiles just walk into Russia and live there instead- That is easier solution as So Osetia is part of Georgia.
6. ...AND IF ISRAEL DID IT TO ....?...ETHNIC CLEANSING!

7. Russian Espionage - by 4 of her Agent Provocators
YITZAK BEN SHLOMO   (08.10.08)
Russia has made little secret of its desire to spark a war in the Caucasus to force regime change in Tbilisi. (See Ariel Cohen, “Preventing a Russian-Georgian Military Confrontation,” Heritage Foundation Webmemo No. 1024, March 31, 2006, at http://www.heritage.org/Research/RussiaandEurasia/ wm1024.cfm.)
8. This a record of anti- semitism coming alive ...cos
YITZAK BEN SHLOMO   (08.10.08)
One-million-strong Georgian Diaspora in Russia. Ethnic Georgians, including children, were loaded onto cargo planes and expelled from Russia. Russia cites their illegal immigration status. Prominent Georgian intellectuals who are Russian citizens are being harassed by the tax police. Georgian businesses in Moscow are being singled out by law enforcement authorities. The handling of this crisis is further damaging Russia’s international standing as a dependable member of the G-8.
9. There's about a million of Georgians live in Moscow
Damir ,   Russia   (08.10.08)
Where's their thunderous voice of protest?
10. Czarists, Russians, Soviets...all the same
hymie zoltsveis ,   NYC, NY, USA   (08.10.08)
Same thugs, different names. The Georgian have almost always been a decent people. Rarely a problem against Jews. The Soviets/Russians, especially under Napoleon-like rat Putin (Rasputin?) , has been trying to bolster its oil wealth and power. Putin wants to control oil and gas in the region. Russian planes hae already tried to destroy the Georgian pipeline. The pipeline runs through Turkey to Israel and Eliat. US and Israelis are in Georgia, as advisors and businessmen. Georgia wants to join NATO. Whatever they call themselves, Putin's Russia is no different than the Soviets or Czarists. The problem is PUTIN, the rat.
11. Georgia Started The War, So They Bear The Blame
Lev Bronsein ,   Moscow, Russia   (08.10.08)
It was not Russia that started the war, it was the US/Israeli armed Georgian criminals to chose to start a war they cannot finish, and now Russia will make them pay dearly for their crime, and nobody will be coming thier aid.
12. Russia escalated the situation
Chaya ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (08.10.08)
It started when a roadside bomb killed some Georgian policemen. Georgia retaliated against an installation in S. Ossetia responsible for it and Russia took advantage of the situation by escalating things.
13. #2 no georgia did not star it.
Common sense ,   World   (08.10.08)
They were retaliating to attacks from ossetian separatists.
14. #3 RE: Georgia Started The War
G ,   Israel   (08.10.08)
Georgia started the war in South Osetia, in Chechnia - started the war in Grozni. Poor Russia!! everyone tries to start war against Russia!? Only blind and stupid can believe in that!!! If Russia says about separation of Osetia from Georgia, and they are so kind, and so righteous then why Chechia is not separated?!
