1. OH WELL, 19,500 TO GO
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (04.30.11)
That was his Dad's record at the city of Hama (20,000). So as long as the army stands behind Assad...and they will now...because they have as much to lose as Assad. With Mubarak waiting to be hanged, what dictator would walk away, or turn himself over to who? So he can wait to be hanged. Look the world will do nothing and Assad will remain in power. About the only thing I find a bit suspicious, is Hamas leadership looking to hedge their bets. I wonder if they know something the world doesn't?
2. Any word from Erdogan ?

3. Syria's Crackdown on Rebels
Edward ,   Savannah, USA   (04.30.11)
As long as Syria is fighting amongst themselves, they will be leaving Israel alone, and that means they can't Hamas or Hezbollah either. Israel needs to KEEP Assad in power because his replacement will be much worse than what is there now. Look at Egypt. Israel should have done something to keep Murbarak in power, now they will get the Muslim Brotherhood and another war front to have to defend against. These people are NOT demonstrating for "democracy" they want sharia law and Israel GONE!!! For Israel to "do nothing" will not be in its best interests!!!

if you want to enter life,keep the commandments:not kill,not adultery,not steal,not false testimony,honor your father and your mother and love your neighbour as yourself,if you want to be perfect do charity and you will have treasure from heaven,then come and follow me,if you love me keep my commandments,which has my commandments and save them,that is that loves me,this we know that know you in that we keep his commandments who says "i know you" and does not keep his commandments is a liar and the truth is not in he,not everyone that say me lord,lord entered the kingdom but who do the will of the lord,some priests that Jesus is equal to the lord,believe that it may not be because who is equal is not due as does Jesus,amen
5. Mark From Georgia
JOEL ,   WE ARE ALL SDEROT   (04.30.11)
Indeed the pencil necked geek is going for broke, and the example of Hama as a step to far across the line is apt. In addition these thugs are looking at the sheer incompetence of NATO and Obama's, uniformed, cautious dithering— as bolsters for their morale And then there are the Russians who surely want to get paid for all the military junk they have been palming off to this generation of Syrian butchers. Then conveniently, come the Persian Mullahs , cash in hand, who are not about to let their investment in a naval base on the Med and a large political footprint go down the drain either. And then there are the resurgent Brothers who will exact their vengeance for Hama. Assad will surely have to pay for that, and an islamist entity will emerge as the reward. A perfect whirlwind of killers and assassins. Israel really needs to maintain a solid lock on this
6. Any word from Ahmadinejad?
Cynthia ,   USA   (04.30.11)
Wonder how the Syrian people feel knowing Iran has sent their revolutionary guards to bash heads in Syria?
7. Bad Neighbor
Bob ,   New York, USA   (04.30.11)
It seems that Israel is the only country in the Mideast that has second thoughts about attacking a mosque. Both sides in Syria are bad. Isreal shouldn't try to choose. It should just: (a) forget about ever giving back the Golan, no matter who controls; (b) keep bombing whenever necessary to destroy Syrian efforts to build nukes; (c) figure out a way to interdict Syrian shipments of missiles to Hezbollah.
8. WORLD REACTION???
Ricardo ,   USA   (04.30.11)
where are the marches,protests,riots?? tutu,carter,et al??anyone??
9. Oh It's the Jews' Fault! That's the Ticket!
Dallas ,   Canada   (04.30.11)
Now we know. The chaos of the Arab world has nothing to do with the Arabs - an affirmation that they have no control over their own lives and destinies - the ultimate affirmation of weakness.
10. 8 ricardo
jorge stern ,   mexico   (04.30.11)
they only care when Israel defends herself. Then its a different story
11. So al jazzira is a "Jewish Channel", so
jason white ,   afula, israel   (04.30.11)
I guess ass-head is just culling the herd. How about sending over richard gallstone and his team to investigate the killings of civilians in syria or libya?Or are arabs given carte blanche in killing and raping their own? Someone call ban ki loon and check this out.
12. Beautiful
withlove ,   Israel   (04.30.11)
Isn't it beautiful seeing Muslims bombarding mosques, something Israel very seldom must do and under very specific circumstances - usually refrains even with evidence that those places are used against it. The hated Jews have apparently more respect for other religions and places of worship than the Muslims themselves for their own.
13. syria got no natural resources so
ghostq   (05.01.11)
the reaction to her is harsher due to lack of west intrest, but this will continue to spred, the oil and oil money that will make everyone sick, but this is temporary, I reckon.
14. not only is al jazeera Jewish but I
Barney ,   USA   (05.01.11)
heard ayatolah khameini is Jewish as is assad, haniyeh, and what's his name arafat. in fact that mosque is actually a disguised Synagogue
