1. Attempted coitus with the male bovine
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (06.05.11)
of agressive mein invites the sharpened head borne horn. Poor Ms.Gump. She sure is getting a workout this weekend. But,...she is correct. I have ascertained that Marrion Morrison is the person that essayed that:: Life is tough. It is tougher if you are stupid.
2. Shame on You Majdal Shams
Susie ,   Scotland   (06.05.11)
Go and live in Syria if you don't want to benefit from the freedom you have in Israel. The old saying of 'never trust an Arab comes to mind"!
3. Syrian Riots
Bruria   (06.05.11)
Seem we never learn--the IDF should be filming from every angle, releasing it to the public showing what our soldiers are facing. From the looks of this we are seeing film taken from the Syrian side. The battle is for PR--when is our government going to wake up!
4. We should raze majnoon shams now!
jason white ,   afula, israel   (06.05.11)
This is not the first time these vermin have acted against Israel. Send them over the border into syria. Perhaps some of the dead were from anti ass-ad protests and were shot by fellow syrians?
5. # 3
John ,   Herzliya, Israel   (06.05.11)
Yes it seems so, unfortunately. But on the other hand, I am sure that, for example, some "unbiased" BBC would still run footage from Syrian TV as pure gold and then, maybe, they would add that Israeli TV shows different picture. And after that they would announce in some grave voice that another of their soldier have died in some far away country fighting for their freedom!!!!
6. Syrian death toll climbs; Majdal Shams joins riots
hussain tammimi ,   Riyadh - Saudi Arabi   (06.05.11)
Things are very clear - Syria wants to dismiss the protests at home - this is clear - the right of Israel to defend its territory - thanks
7. Re-route the Golan border so the Majd al Shams ....
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (06.05.11)
Israel haters can go and live in Syria! I am sure that Syria will give them all the benefits that Israel gives them and respect their human rights! People of Majd al Shams, be Syrians but when Assad's butchers come to get you, don't cry to Israel for help!
8. Nonsense
Eran ,   Singapour   (06.05.11)
This nonsense is obviously sponsored by Damascus to deflect attention away from Asad's regime. A bunch of unarmed idiots attempting to breach a heavily fortified border - They have got to be extremely stupid. It's sad that many muslims have devolved so much in the past century, that now when the Syrian government pays them to die along a desert border for no reason, they stupidly comply.
9. Susie, they are already living in Syria
Yen   (06.05.11)
10. Syrian TV is Assad's 'Deutsche Wochenschau' Why dignify?
M. Dror   (06.05.11)
11. What
mel ,   Chicago   (06.05.11)
I wonder what would happen if Israelis civilians cross the border between Syria and Israel.
12. Golan
Arye ,   Rehovot   (06.05.11)
Hey, 25 people killed today in the Syrian city of Jisr al-Shaghour! I'm sure all you Arabs are furious right? .... right? The anti-Israel mob couldn't care less about dead Syrians
13. we didnt ask them to try and cross border ILLEGALLY
Rebecca ,   Haifa   (06.05.11)
14. Assad id Lying
Roy ,   Miami   (06.05.11)
Muslim scholars teach that Muslims should generally be truthful to each other, unless the purpose of lying is to "smooth over differences." There are two forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, taqiyya and kitman. These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause Islam - in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them.
15. Don't take news and events out of context
meir elazar   (06.06.11)
When I was younger I lived with Druze in Majdal Shams and this is not what I remember for their hospitality and warm welcome. Susie, recent news about boycotts indicate that I were to react like you, I would destroy all of Macbeth's homeland for the actions of a few Scottish idiots. Go back to bashing your haggis and learn more of the reality on the ground and not all you read in distorted news.
16. "Sit-down" at the border during the night?
Harry Wright ,   UK   (06.06.11)
I wonder what mischief they will be doing under the cover of darkness...maybe clip the fence wires? Maybe sneak across the border. Nobody will notice that a few of them are missing.
17. These assorted nuts are self-destructive.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (06.06.11)
A higher power is needed to save them from themselves. Alla won't do it. In fact, they are self-destructive because of Alla.
18. Have some laws Israel! Those citizens rioting against you,
Common Sense ,   Israel   (06.06.11)
FOR the enemies need not be given anymore citizenship. Treason= loss of citizenship. Rioting in favor of border breaching from enemy states= treason.
19. Once bricks flew from Israeli citizens in Syria...
William ,   Israel   (06.06.11)
then the IDF should respond by razing a few buildings, if they want bricks to throw so badly. I would have grabbed the town elder out his house very quickly and told him what was what. If it continued, the next stop would be a filled bus to Damascus.
20. #9 Susie
OnTheOtherSide ,   USA   (06.06.11)
You are wrong. Quneitra was given to Syria, Majdal Shams is part of Israel.
21. Withdraw citizenship to 'Golan Traitors'
Roland Seener ,   London England   (06.06.11)
22. Druze Resistance against Illegal Occupation
Alex Weiss   (06.06.11)
Israel has no legitimate claim to the Golan, it's occupied territory that should have been vacated in compliance with UNCR242. The Druze have every right to demonstrate against the illegal occupation in whatever fashion they like. as do the Palestinians.
23. Majdal Shams
Ben ,   Monterey USA   (06.06.11)
Expel those to Syria
24. Golan "Syrian" LOL
El-Nakam ,   TA, Israel   (06.06.11)
The Golan was part of Syria only because the when the French and the British drew the borders after WW1 (Sykes-Picot agreement), it ended up n that side of the line: Total 50 years, and only about 20 if you consider that Syria only achieved independence after WW2. Completely arbitrary. The Golan is historically Jewish, so put that together with an offensive war launched by Syria, and claims of a "Syrian" Golan evaporate.
25. Syrian death toll climbs
Watcher465 ,   CitizenoftheWorld   (06.06.11)
The people who respond to your stories seem like crazy brainwashed loonies. Why is that? And don't tell me this question is incitement, racist or slander.
26. #10, Wrong! guess again
Yen   (06.06.11)
Both Majdal Shams and Quneitra are in Syria.
27. the march of the...
Benjamin ,   Asia   (06.06.11)
Zombies!!! I never thought zombies were real until now!
28. who's chopper? who's rambam?
rachel ,   chutz4now   (06.06.11)
'An eight-year-old boy from Majdal Shams sustained moderate to serious wounds... He was taken via helicopter to the Rambam Medical Center in Haifa. If these druze are syrian why OUR things used?
29. Lighting a fire in a minefield!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (06.06.11)
Now you know what kind of idiots we a dealing with! Someone wrote in a Talkback that the Shahidim (Arabic for Martyr or a synonym for stupid) should order more virgins on Ebay! He seems to forget that most, if not all on Ebay, is used and secondhand! There no such thing as a secondhand virgin although this fact might escape the corroded braincells of the Assad paid Palestinians!
30. #16 Harry: Maybe they wento to Majd el Shams for a good meal
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (06.06.11)
Food there is very good! Actually, even if they got the "Occupied" lands and whatnot "back", we all know exactly what they would do. Destroy everything and probably lynch the Druze of the Golan for cooperating with Israel and attacking Israeli soldiers without dying for their cause! Such is the Arab way. Why build when you can destroy? Why heal when you can kill? The lesson of Gaza.
