1. Our Druze Brothers of Magdal Champs...
Sally Forth ,   Jerusalem   (05.15.11)
are loyal citizens of the State of Israel. There are sons of Magdal Champs in my sons units and therefore I kindly ask all of you to please be careful in your comments. May G-d bless Israel and keep the Israeli Citizens of Magdal Champs safe and sound
2. don't worry, Asad Jr. murdered 1500 people
ghostq   (05.15.11)
this month, you can blame him for this incident. I have a strong feeling he will try to exploit this incident for his "policy".
3. Al-nakba in Syria
IssyHass ,   Ra'anana-Israel   (05.15.11)
Sir-the Arab world should be in the sreet against the real nakba in Syria. what a double standard across the Arab streets ond the world
4. K9 should be along of our troops fully armored.
Ypip ,   Canada   (05.15.11)
5. I don't think anyone can deny...
Deebo_ ,   Holon   (05.15.11)
...today's events are unprovoked attacks by those who hate Israel and its people. The only "provocation" being a date of significance which occurred 63 years ago. Stop attacking. You look ridiculous. Let us get back to work. I have a busy day today.
6. #1 Get over yourself Sally
Talula ,   Israel   (05.15.11)
While I agree that there are some amazing Druze soldiers, there are also Druzim that aren't as faithful to our country - you can't make a sweeping statement like that.
7. 4 dead? Syria kills more in an hour....
John   (05.15.11)
8. Duuhh. Druze in Golan are Syrian
Jason S ,   Haifa   (05.15.11)
They refuse Israeli citizenshiip and do not serve in the army.
9. # 1 - Sally
Faith ,   Israel   (05.15.11)
I totally agree with you, and hope no one posts anything hateful. The Druze have served in the IDF as loyal citizens for years, and are among our most outstanding soldiers. Many are officers. I still remember when my mother used to volunteer years ago for the Va'ad l'Ma'an HaChayal at an Air Force base in the south. The commander of the base was a Druze, and very devoted to his soldier's welfare. He was so kind that my mother had him and a few of the other volunteers over her house for dinner. They stayed in touch for years. Just an example of how people should not be judged for their ethnic background. Amen, keep them safe. I hope everyone stays safe.

Faith ,   Israel   (05.15.11)
You're wrong about this. It can actually be said that the Druzim are faithful to Israel. Of course, just like among Jewish Israelis, they have their less enthusiastic guys who don't agree with serving in the IDF. But most of them are fantastic people, and honorable. It is simply the way they are brought up. I think we need to appreciate this during these times of so much hate for Israel.
12. Druze supported the invading Syrian army in 1973
Golan ,   Modiin   (05.15.11)
and I mean the Druze of the Golan.

DT ,   TA Israel   (05.15.11)
infiltrators can cound themselves fortunate that there are not more dead
14. Fire DM NOW! How hundreds of terrorists penatrated to Israel
tanya ,   tel aviv israel   (05.15.11)
and are still here? Why so few soldiers were protecting the Siryan border? All this after we hear for weeks that IDF is "ready for any scenario". FIRE BARAK NOW!!! He is a shame to the people of Israel.
15. What exactly was their plan when they crossed into Israel?
Deebo_ ,   Holon   (05.15.11)
Boy this seems ill-thought-out.
16. Anyone Noticce
shira z ,   J'slm, Israel   (05.15.11)
Anyone notice that Lebanese forces kept their people back from the border, while Syrian forces did not? P.S. To Sally #1 - Amen. May G-d protect all our loyal citizens and soldiers.
17. when a mexican crosses the border of the us
dubble standard   (05.15.11)

18. god bless and protect IDF soldiers!!!!
FIDF   (05.15.11)
19. #6 - Talula Why Must You Be So Rude?
Michael ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.15.11)
Druze have served with honour and distinction since the War of Independence. They have been loyal to Israel and the Golan Druze have been loyal to Syria without harming Israel. Their loyalty is part of their distinction. The same cannot be said for your rudeness to others here who appreciate this and voice it openly.
20. #1 Sally Forth, you are wrong
gilgoul ,   golan   (05.15.11)
Unfortunately you are wrong Sally Forth, the Druze of the Golan are not subjected to the mandatory service and aren't for most of them citizens of the state but syrian subjects with a permanent residenship.
21. 6
Phillip ,   Buckingham Palace   (05.15.11)
Cmon stop being rude, surely you can make your point without rudeness?
22. IDF SOLDIERS
barbara ,   florida   (05.15.11)
do what you must do. you have our support!!! we love you:)
23. G-d, please protect our soldiers from the Soldier No. 1 !
tanya ,   tel aviv israel   (05.15.11)
24. FROM NOW ON
Mike caton ,   USA   (05.15.11)
From now on, there is only one policy that Israel must employ toward the Arabs who absurdly think that they can invade Israel. That policy is called THE IRON FIST, and to hell what the rest of the armchair world thinks.
25. Syrian & Lebanese breach border
Benjamin ,   greenville USA   (05.15.11)
If they breach the border use live ammunition. This is not a game.
26. The Druzim of the Golan
Yossef   (05.15.11)
are in a very delicate situation. They cannot be fully committed to Israel because the day the Golan is returned to Syria they will pay a heavy price. But annex the Golan forever and make them israeli citizens, and maybe things will change. Am I wrong ? Is there some Druzim on this talkback ?
27. Syrian infiltrators
Popoff ,   Russia   (05.15.11)
Typical move : distracting attention away from bllodbath in your own country by provoking "an incident" with the "enmy"--- Old strategy- Will it work? remains to be seen...
28. #14 Tanya you beat me to it
Rachel ,   US   (05.15.11)
I wanted to get more info. But I am wondering how did these people get across the border to begin with. Even if Syrians weren't protecting the border where was the IDF.FIRE EHUD BARAK AND VILNAI!!!!!!!
29. God protect our IDF solders from these wild beasts
haddad ,   london u.k   (05.15.11)
30. A GEM of an idea
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (05.15.11)
Mo: "Man, I am SO bummed today. I wish there was something to do around here." Achmed: "Hey, Mo. I got a great idea. Today is Nabka Day right?" What say you and me, we get some of the guys together, and we bust through the fence into Israel. Really shake their ass up." Mo: "Hey man. That really sounds cool, but do you think they will put up with that?" Achmed: "Listen Mo. We are talking JOOOS. They give up easy. We do the rage and rant thing. Throw some stones. Pose for some Lefty Media Pics and kill some time. Come on. It'l be a gas." Mo: "What if they shoot us? Achmed: "Shoot us? No Man. Theyre JOOOS. Not Syrians."
