31. #3 Obviously not all Syrians happy
Cynthia ,   USA   (03.26.11)
Don't blame Israel for Assad's poor leadership record. The land of poverty, unemployment, isolation, oppression and water shortage caused by Turkey cutting water to Syria. Farmers are now living in tents in Damascus because they have no water for crops. This will lead to food shortage if you don't have one already. Arming terrorists instead of taking care of Syrians is coming home to haunt Assad and I'm curious about Iran's role in Syria's current problem.
32. Pallywood, Syrian Style
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (03.26.11)
Look it works for the Arabs in the disputed land around Israel, so why not? When you see how successful the Pals have been lying, gosh, even the fact that Pals are really a separate people ( Instead of just Arabs no different from Egyptians, Syrians, Lebanese etc.), the greatest hoax ever. Or the fake crisis in Gaza, The starvation that never happened, The fake massacre in Jenin, The phony Gaza beach bombing, Geez how many times do you have catch these guys lying for Christs sake? About Libya, here in the USA, CNN, FOX and others are still are reporting that Gaddafi's "adopted Daughter" was killed in the 1986 bombing that President Reagan ordered? Except Gaddafi, DIDN'T HAVE AN ADOPTED DAUGHTER!!! ,(That's right no daughter named Hanna, it was propaganda. WHOOPS) Repeat a lie often enough and people think it's true, remember? Now Syria is jumping on the bandwagon, again. When will the suckers learn, any News from Arab sources just can't be trusted, period. Or do you all believe there are NO protests or Riots in Syria? Frankly, it's becoming a joke. I never thought this regional conflict would expose all the Arab leaders for the brutal people and liars they actually are, in that regard its been incredible. It has exposed who the real oppressors of the Arabs are, self inflicted, how they obviously scapegoat Israel, and their fake stories and lies never end.
33. #24 - atleast give credit where credit is due
William ,   Israel   (03.26.11)
In the past 11 years, there have been incidents of bullets shot from Syrian territory and infiltrations of Syrians - either a terrorist or Syrians wanting to get out of Syria. I know you are not a student of history (only revisionism as far as I can tell) but the events I cited were news and relatively recent. Get with the program, Nour.
34. #24 Golan already liberated in '67
Cynthia ,   USA   (03.26.11)
Under Israel's rule, the Golan flourishes and no bullets fired is good for regional stability. Don't be a hypocrite terror supporter. Rather funny how you berate Assad when the entire Arab/Muslim world, including the Palestinian territories, is one big human rights void.
35. 28 - andre - shhhhh salma is sleeping to wake her up!

36. nour, you are the only arab people who live in democracy
Daniela   (03.26.11)
and this thanks to Israel who loves freedom. today the arab countries are in war with their goverments because of: - poverty - unemployment - lack of freedom and democracy - disrespect of human rights you palestinians living in Israel, enjoy democracy and freedom, Israel gives jobs and salary to many many of you, arabs work in the west bank in the factories of the settles, and make money. in Gaza the unanployment reaches the 60-70% ! you enjoy sanitary free assistance, freedom of speach and vote. israeli arabs are not poor like the tunisians the rest of the arabs. So it's time for you to open you eyes and see that arabs leaders, whoever they are/were, ( secular or fanatics religious ) were never so wise and good in guiding their people and nobody did anything good to them. You, Salma and the rest of the palestinians should be happy to be ruled by the israelis and not by assad or nasrallah o ahmadinejad. But if you love tiranny you are free to go to live in one of those states. good luck
37. #4 John - and is it something new?

38. #24 Newsflash
Logic ,   Israel   (03.26.11)
Hamas, PLO, Arab hyper-nationalism, and Islamism all qualify as derivatives of fascism.
39. #24; Nour, So you want a war?
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (03.26.11)
Nour writes: "Not a single bullet has been fired from your territory at the Zionists since 1967." That's a good thing in my mind, but clearly you see it as weakness. So you advocate war between Syria and Israel. That is the test for you? Both Assad's are smart enough to know it's battle they would lose. Plus it's their country that would be leveled, not yours. But again we see why Israel will never give the Golan back, nor do they have to. Israel has fully complied with Resolution 242 which intended Israel to keep a portion of the land (they won in a defensive war) for security. Your post shows why that is 100% necessary. In fact it's only fair, when you attack a country unprovoked, as Syria did Israel. That there be consequences when you lose the war. It's a deterrent for other countries that might think they can attack Israel, lose the war, and then be rewarded by getting the land they lost, back. That makes no sense, and would increase the chance of war, by removing the negative consequences. I do agree with your assessment of the Assad's, and their terrible record with human rights. You did forget at least one other massacre by Hafez. But your dead on about a culture of fear created in Syria, but left out Hamas does the same in Gaza? In fact Hamas is guilty of the same crimes you accuse the Assad's of, but you neglect to mention that, WHY?
