Israel is in a tight spot unfortunately. Missiles can reach far and deep, and the US has joined the enemy. November could mark a reversal if Obama does not attempt to obstruct the elections. Anything is possible now in America. These are dangerous times

Who is Syria kidding? Israel would flatten Syria if it ever attempted to attack. This has got to be just posturing to play to the Syrian street. Syria is ZERO threat to israel.

I'll buy you a drink! You know, one of those sissy ones with a paper umbrella in them ....

If Israel wants after 5 minutes there is no syria any more!!! we want to live in peace. there is no winners in war everybody lose.

why wait? They have taken over the Golan; they have bombed your suspected nuclear facilities. At first, it is not necessary to completely destroy Israel. Just take back your territory - the Golan Plateau. Moreover, when the Terrorist State bombed you nuclear facilities, there was nothing you did at all for a revenge. So, how could you send Israel back to prehistoric time? Of course, I do not support the Terrorist State, but as a fellow Muslim I hope that we say what we can realize. Take our Great Prophet Muhammad as the best model.

Wasn't this answered two years ago. Several IAF planes flew deep into Northeastern Syria and destroyed the nascent atomic plant. What did Syria do? Syria did zilch, zip, zero, nada. Other examples: Gaza war? Nada. Lebanon War? Nada. Terrible how facts get in the way..... Assad is willing to fight to the last Lebanese and Palestinian. But when attacked, he sits on his hands because he leads a backwards, feckless nation.

Israel couldn't win the war against few Hezbollah fighters in 2006 after 33 days of fight and you are talking about vacation in Aleppo. You sound much like a frog in a fairy tale.

I reach out to all the haters of Israel, and plead with you to concider the possability you are wrong. God fortold these things in detail 3,500 years ago... read Isaih 17 , and Ezekial 38 before its too late. Dimascus will be destroyed, and Iran will be wiped out. Turn in repentance to the son of God (Jesus) before you lose everything!

Israel couldn't go one mile on Lebanon for 33 days of war using more weapons than what they used in past wars with the Arabs. They fear steping into gaza. How people say Israel takes Damascus? Really? Who needs to get real and deal with facts. Girly Israeli soldiers will be tobacco for Damascus's shishas :). Let war decide. Syria wants war but it wants to be the last no more.. Syria want permanent solution.

Israel and his own people.

They might have Saddam,s weapons of destruction or whatever ,however do they know which direction to point their gun barrels ,inwards or outwards ,stupid Alawites ?

Sami in Syria ,like all the Arabs/Muslims talks to much,so stick to killing your Muslim brethren on a daily basis in Muslim lands ,haboub ,that,s about the best you 6th century desert dwelling camel herders can do ,salaam.

that israel bombed their nuclear site a couple of years ago and THEY WERE SILENT syria forgets that israel decimated hizbullah fighters in 2006 YET, SYRIA DID NOT RUSH TO HELP HIZBULLAH AND NIETHER DID IRAN AND THE SOUTH OF LEBANON WSS LEFT INDEED IN RUINS syria forgets 1973 where israel decimated their military and airforce and YET, SYRIA IS TOO STUPID TO LEARN FROM ITS FOLLY syria forgets that israel fought and hurt hamas and devastated gaza in 2008. YET NEITHER SYRIA NOR IRAN NOR HIZBULLAH SAID A PEEP AND DIDN;T RUSH TO HELP THEIR BROTHERS IN GAZA OR HAMAS. syria forgets that israel was 20 miles away from damascus in 1967 AND THEY WERE FROZEN IN FEAR syria forgets that israel last year circulated their iaf jets on top of assad's palaces with a sonic boom as warning. YET, SYRIA SAID NOTHING AND THERE WAS NOT THE COMMON ARAB REVENGE AND RETALIATION. syria has a big loud mouth and that is all they have except an army whose worth in soldiers and armaments is in the range of the 70's era. why does syria think that the border in the golan is so quiet???? IT IS QUIET, AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE QUIETEST BORDER ISRAEL HAS IN 30 YEARS SIMPLY BECAUSE, APART FROM THIS IMBECILIC COUNTRY'S BOASTING A LA ARAB STYLE, THEY KNOW THEY WILL SUFFER THE DAMAGE OF A LIFETIME FROM ISRAELI MILITARY AND IAF. syria can't afford to have their regime destabilized by a war with israel because that will spell the end of assad's regime and the onset of hislamic sunni take over over the alawites dictatorship. they only reason the assad regime stays in power is precisely because of israel. HAMEED ABOUGHAZE, IRANIAN

was iran in during the israeli decimation of hizbullah in 2006? no! was iran in during the decimation by israel of gaza and hamas? no! was iran in during the israeli bombing of syria's nuclear site? no! iran is silent. it knows it has everything to loose if it gets involved. it is afraid to look like southern lebanon and gaza and the green revolution cannot wait for israel to wipe iran's rear end so that they can oust the regime and destabilize and eliminate it. iran will never lift a finger. iran will stand by to see its proxies decimated and won;t say a thing, as it never said a thing in the past four years of conflict. iran could care less about syria or hizbullah people unless they serve its purpose as proxies and it would not risk a devastation because nasrallah or haniyeh decide to play tanks and guns. hameed aboughaze, iranian hameed aboughaze, iranian

This is proof that land does NOT equal peace and that all their talk about peace is baloney. Syria is 4 times the size of Israel, doesn't really need or care about the Golan, and only uses it as a guise for their Arab hatred of Israel. We all know that if we gave it to them they would find another reason to war with us. We complied fully with the U.N. and gave them the Shebaa farms, and guess what? It made no difference at all. Here's a thought: Why not pressure Syria to 'give' Israel the Golan as a 'gesture of peace'

Hope you will enjoy having yourself, your country and your foolish friends in Iran and Lebanon turned into radioactive ash. You ignorant morons have a death wish and there won't be 72 virgins waiting for you

Dear Mr Assad. I think for the sake of improving sagging relations, a clarification regarding your statement concerning unconventional weapons is in order. You did not say what will happen if cheap, out of date, conventional weapons are used?. Please advise. Sincerely, Joe - see # 24

The chances of peace with Syria never existed. At the most Israel could hope for a “Hudna”.The maximum that Israel can aim for is a limited ceasefire or an armistice, taking into consideration that the Arab side will violate it at any time, as the Palestinians have been proving on a daily basis since the signing of the Oslo Accords in September 1993. That is in the spirit of a “Hudna” as explained at : http://xrl.us/bjcsd

...for we Israelis will get the perfect excuse to wipe Syria out from the face of the earth - to totally, completely destroy and annihilate you and Lebanon until not one single biological organism lives in your lands. When that is done, the farce of barbaric Arab stoneage people spreading Jew hatred and a racist genocidal anti-Semitic ideology attempting to steal our ancient homeland and taking our lives - that Arab farce, will finally come to an end. So please, attack us, and prepare for your destruction. If you want a war with Jews it will cost you dearly and we will show no mercy and no pardon for you.

this is just Syria posturing to its street. The trouble is, each remark, each threat, makes Israel all the more wary and concerned and brings us closer to a showdown. At any rate, for those who don't know, this is why we'll never give up the Golan. In fact, it's time to populate it, large, empty, chilly and windy, not unlike parts of Canada with excellent farming. Israel's best kept secret.

To fly Kites

...the annihilation of the singled out state, the nation-state of the Jewish people...!! I wonder, why...??

I don't understand 1 thing. If you know that Israel has nuclear capabilities and you don't, how can you say the things you do? Israel does not need to use nuclear to demolish you, but if it does you are cooked Potatos. Ala Salam, Sami

Syria is best to put an end to their retoric. Despite their weapons they know not who truely defends Israel. This is a classic mistake that many nations have made throughout history. Someone in Damascus should sit and read Isaiah 17:1 it may be closer than they think...

most of the so called pro Syrian, pro islamo Facist Americans that are trying to fill the Y-Net talkbacks are really just a few phoney Muslims pertending to be Americans? You'd think America is full of Muslim loving, Israeli hating people just dying to see Israel turned into Palestine. Fortunately the opposite is true. What these fakes don't realize is that our loyal Christian supporters spend most of their time at the CBN site.

some threaten to wipe the Jewish state off the face of earth. It seems little has changed in Europe between the 20th and the 21st century when it comes to European attitudes towards the Jewish people and its state.

Why Sarah, you warmonger you! Took a break from YNET for a few days, but I see you have the Left & Muslim contingents hopping up and down as usual. How are you faring in these interesting times of ours? I remember you speaking of your husband's efforts to assist 3rd-World children through reconstructive surgery, and that struck me as one of the more needful, benefical acts I had heard of in some time. One can only salute that kind of endeavor.............much merit. As always, carry on, Sarah, and keep stirrin' up that YNET pot as only you can do.
