31. Jewish immigrants from Arab countries

must submit to the court in any country in Europe and the U.S. class action against Arab countries that exiled them to Israel and for assets taken from them. Lets use their propaganda against them.

You are distorting the reality. This was an act of war from the Syrian side. The reality is that the protesters were sent by Assads inhuman regime and paid by Assads inhuman regime to provoke Israel. Where is your condemnation of Syria? By the way most of the deaths and injured occurred from the mines and not from IDF, but you are not deeply troubled.
33. "Those Jews have some nerve, defending themselves!"
Bless israel. ,   United States   (06.08.11)
What would any nation on earth do if met with the same circumstances? The same as Israel.

Alfred Perl ,   karmiel/israel   (06.08.11)
Oh yes. Have you noticed what happened in north Syria on the same day? Of course not, no border with Israel. By the way who confirmed the number of deaths and injured? There is no foreign independent media present, or you blindly believe Bashar Assad.

jjvanka, let's clear one thing first: the reports on number of victims are coming only from Syrian sources. Do you trust them? I personally believe the Israeli sources which are stating that they have used live ammunition in a very restricted manner. Of course, nobody listens to what IDF says, it is already a habit to blame Israel for everything that is happening in the ME. But OK, even if you are correct in your assumption, unfortunately it is true that in the ME things are a bit different than in Hague. You can talk with your neighbors and maybe come to solutions. Even though I don't know how to come to an agreement with somebody whose basic and primal task is to throw you into the sea. Who's math is right and who's is wrong therefore remains to be a matter of the future.

Buy a world map. Religion is irrelevant in legal matters.

If any other nation does what Israel did on Nakba and Naksa Days, it will be condemned. Israel did not 'defend its border', but killed peaceful demonstrators on Syrian territory outside occupied Golan.
38. @John #35
jjvanka ,   The Hague, NL   (06.08.11)
There's no doubt that IDF snipers killed unarmed demonstrating people in Syria. Figures are usually adjusted later on -- the given number of 23 by the Syrians are being checked by UN monitors. And no, I don't take IDF statements for true (disinformation is the weapon of choice of every army).
39. #6 - yes, like most Arabs....
William ,   Israel   (06.09.11)
Syria and Lebanon will fight...until the last "Palestinian". BTW, wasn't it the LAF which shot "Palestinians" in the back as they approached the border during the Nakba events?
40. #17 - we already have a border on Golan
William ,   Israel   (06.09.11)
It's clearly marked with mine fields and a UN contingent until otherwise noted. We already annexed it. It's just Syria that doesn't agree. You're friends with Assad make him play nice.
41. #20 - I don't know - Lebanon cancelled pretty quickly
William ,   Israel   (06.09.11)
and no one is rushing the borders from Jordan or Egypt. Take away the $1000 bonus from Assad and this may dry up soon too. Since Israel cannot and will not work under the assumption that these infiltrators are unarmed (because in most cases around the region they're not), they will continue to protect its citizens per obligation afforded with sovereignty.
42. If anything, Israel should flood Golan...
William ,   Israel   (06.09.11)
with Jews, Bedouins, and Druze...since that's who were ethnically cleansed from the Golan by the Arabs when they were illegally given the Golan by French colonial govt in 1923.
43. #25 - you feel you can speak for Jesus?
William ,   Israel   (06.09.11)
I've heard of hubris before but claiming that you can know the intentions of someone you claim as next to G-d is pretty much over the top. I believe Jesus gave sermons on such audacity being the downfall of many humans, didn't he? One thing I want to ask you - a person who blames Jews for Jesus' death - if Jesus is all powerful and close to G-d, how is it he couldn't stop a few people from killing him? He can walk on water, multiply loaves of bread and fish, turn water into wine, and make blind men see again....but he couldn't stop two Roman soldiers from driving a crude nail into his palms? Either he wasn't so powerful, or his death was a pre-ordained act. You decide.
44. #36 - really? Try Ireland!
William ,   Israel   (06.09.11)
Ireland and Northern Ireland are cut along religious lines. So is North and South Sudan (soon to be). Nigeria is currently split along religious lines, not political ones. and the UN partition in 1947 was also cut along religious lines, wasn't it? and finally, the proposed State by the "Palestinians" will be completely ethnically cleansed of Jews, making their borders also along religious lines. You don't need to buy a map. You need to buy a clue!
45. #38 - "disinformation is the weapon of choice of every army"
William ,   Israel   (06.09.11)
So instead you take the word of a despotic leader in his death throes? Very nice. I bet you're a big fan of Gaddafi.
