1. 1,400 Syrians killed

So where's the international outrage? That's more than the casualties during Cast Lead, and most of them were terrorists. I think Judge Goldstone should be commissioned to investigate war crimes in Syria. Perhaps that will happen after the United Nations stops ignoring what's going on in Syria.
2. Only 8 today. How compassionate for the religion of peace.

You are way too optimistic, if the UN gets involved or that idiot Goldstone they will blame us for the Syria's actions as usual.

7. 1,400 Syrians killed
The Bald scotsman ,   Medford,USA   (06.18.11)
Hey Assad. Why don't you just go to the United Nations and blame Israel and the Jews. That always works.
8. Unbelievable courage

9. 1400 vs 9: and the LAUGH TEST
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (06.18.11)
That is the difference between the staged flotilla, and the protesters in Syria. The IDF was defending itself from a terrorist attack, and the Syrians are gunning down protesters, most of them unarmed, including women, kids etc., and what is the key difference? The flotilla has two books and a movie, all telling lies, the Arab version, propaganda of the staged confrontation. There was immediate world reaction, and vilification of Israel. Can anybody think of a single loud public pronouncement made by the Arab League? Even when a special session was called for, at the HRC, in the UN, NOT A SINGLE ARAB country voted for it?! WOW!!! How much more evidence does one need to see the double standard applied to Israel? All we get is lip service from the Arab and Muslim leaders. What do I mean by that? The phony indignation is just for PR, so they can feign that they really condemned both, they didn't, at least not with the same vigor. Right? Who would disagree with that? Anybody? I'm waiting....
10. Turkey shoot in Syria...
William ,   Gotham City, Lebanon   (06.18.11)
... That what it is... Using tank fire on people who if unarmed are using hunting rifles at best to defend their lives and Turkey is only helping out so not to have the minorities rebel against their regime... Even though they are doing the same in the Kurdish region...
11. Where's the UN condemnation?
Bless israel. ,   United States   (06.18.11)
or, Obama's? Or any other member of the defunct UN? If one didn't know the facts, you'd think the UN was blind, deaf and dumb. (Aren't they ?)
12. William one good note
Bless israel. ,   United States   (06.18.11)
Turkey now is paying to feed and house the 10,000 or so Syrian refugees. Maybe the Turks can offload the 'flotilla aid' ships, and give the goods to the poor Syrians? Wouldn't that be the good muslim thing to do? I must confess, i'm thrilled to see the Turks get a chance to do something useful for their muslim brothers, for a change. Perfectly divine payback for the Turks folly against Israel the first time out.
13. Muslims murdered
Bless israel. ,   United States   (06.18.11)
by muslim leaders.... Tells you how little life means to them. ( except their own, of course ) Seems to me, there wont be many muslims left when the muslim leaders get through with them.. Who knew they'd do the devils work and still hold onto power?
14. Great argument Mark
Bless israel. ,   United States   (06.18.11)
The arabs don't consider dying by their own nearly as offensive as by non muslims, only excuse I can think of. They murder women regularly, honor killings, then, the kids are their free slaves, what a system eh? Depraved human look alike's with no soul, no brains, and thankfully, no victories.
