2. Yes...
John ,   Herzliya, Israel   (03.28.11)
and our families believe that the Earth is flat, says the resident of Herzliya.
3. support for Assad
yosef ,   memphis   (03.28.11)
Is this article frome Fars News Agency????
4. They know what is obvious...
Danny   (03.28.11)
The world is going to let Assad crush the dissent and Israel is one day going to be forced to give back the Golan.
5. WOW! 44 years and the Golan is still
Israeli 2   (03.28.11)
Israel's. SURPRISE! It was Israel's 4444 years ago and it will still be 4444 years from now.
6. Here's an idea
ayman ,   Florida   (03.28.11)
Democratic countries don't go to war..and IF Syria was such a country the citizens of the Golan could merely walk over the border by showing their ID..as is the case in Juarez and El Paso...which doesn't even incur stopping ..just waving and go...Maybe that's what the residents of the Golan should wish for!
7. LOL! These "few" Druze are machers---
EZ ,   US   (03.28.11)
and they' ve probably just bought themselves tickets out of the Golan and back to Syria. We'll see how much they support Assad then! Rightly so, these Druze who were interviewed here are "enemies of the state" of Israel and must be repatriated back to Syria because they have shown they cannot be trusted. Who's to say they won't turn violent as a result of assess downfall of which they are "staunch supporters"??? Kick 'em out: no PC measures needed. If it were the US, theyd be in Gitmo, period. No one should tolerate an unloyal citizen: if they love Syria, let em go back because the Golan is annexed (although in an unspoken way) and will never be returned. Israel would have taken Damascus if the UN did nit intercede. These Syrian morons should be happy they have what they do after trying to "exterminate" the Jews of Israel. In fact, the whole of those Arab nations who attacked us should be greatful we've been so nice after their murderous attempts to exterminate us Jews and "finish what hitler" (may he be erased) started"! It's unreal how uncivilized these people can be: they don't want peace: they can't even achieve that among themselves. Kick these handful of enemy Druze out immediately. They don't belong in the Golan anymore: theyve lost their claim to it.
8. Dr. Qatar and the rest of the circus
PS ,   USA   (03.28.11)
And did your buddy Chaves also tell you the U.S. killed all life on mars? These clowns have it all figured out?
9. The armed gangs have a few other names
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (03.28.11)
They are the Syrian Army, Syrian Police, Hizbullah, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
10. The Golan has been formally annexed
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.28.11)
So all residents of the Golan who are dreaming of living under Syrian rule once more had better start packing for their trip north. That's the only way they will ever live under Syrian rule.
11. Go easy on the Druzee, take what they say with grain of salt
(03.28.11)
They are a minority in the Middle East divided among 4 countries and caught between a rack and a hard place. Their survival depends on being able to politically and smartly maneuver among the various conflicts and various interests in the region. Generally speaking they are loyal to the country they reside in but in the case of the Golan Heights they cannot be sure what the future will bring, therefore the double speak. Israel has betrayed the Kurds in 1975, the Christian Lebanese in 1982, its allies in South Lebanon in 2000 and the collaborators in Gaza in 2005. Sure Israel had important strategic reasons for what it did in each case but seeing this done by Israel from their point of view they are right to view with suspicion anything said by Israeli government regarding their fate.
12. Congrats, Y-NET:
Yossef ,   Paris   (03.28.11)
with such interviews: you' re in line for next POOH-LITZER award! PS: @ 3 (Yosef fm Memphis) is right on too!
