1. Hamas kills its own people so why should it condemn Syria?
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (08.17.11)
Killing your own is the Arab/Muslim way. Proof: Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and, of course, Lebanon. Need more?. Enough said.
2. Quite the dilemma
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.17.11)
What is a terrorist rabble to do? Here's a news flash for Hamas: get while the getting is good. Syria's toast. So is Turkey? Unnerstand?
3. #1: The Muslim way?
LebanonPride ,   Canada   (08.17.11)
So lets see.... WW1 and WW2 was done by Muslims I guess. That was pointless.
4. mainstream silent on Syrian murder
alan ,   texas   (08.17.11)
why is the mainstream media pretty much silent about syria murdering 100s of her citizens? Because no one cares about dead arabs, unless Israel kills one, then you see its name, address, photo, DNA, sobbing relatives, town on the front page, Same goes for Christian arabs killed by other arabs.
5. hamas will say
daze ,   US   (08.17.11)
"assad must go, syria is no longer liberal and democratic like us." iran calls, hamas then says "UH OH, forget I said that. To habib, since when have any of the arab thugocratic leaders in Israel shown any interest in their minions?
6. #1 well said
gali ,   israel not palestine   (08.17.11)
7. No surprise. Hamas uses its people as human shields
Cynic ,   USA   (08.17.11)
8. Refugees, After 63 Years??
Ron Jones ,   Boston, USA   (08.17.11)
Why are these people still refugees after 63 years? Why are they not resettled amongst the nations of the world like every other refugee? Oh, silly me, I forgot: Because if these refugees didn't exist, then the Arab world would no longer have these pawns to use in their campaign to destroy Israel. Resettle the refugees now!!
9. 5 months debauchery on a grand scale
Jean   (08.17.11)
Assad,Hamas,Abbas, the same gangsters,same desperados, same vicious killers in silk suits and silk ties in order to blend with the civilized leaders of Europe and America. A child, a woman, an old man, all are feed for assad meat grinder, as brutal as possible. 5 month of unheard butchery, depravity, savagery, that only a assad has the skill to implement. A "Trade - mark " of the muslim world.
10. LebanonPride
Yaron ,   USA   (08.17.11)
Yes, your imams and muftis were dancing in the streets at the news of Jews in the ovens of concentration camps. Your little shitty mufti of Jerusalem ran to Hitler to find out how he can help in occupied Jerusalem at the time. Let's face it.....today, it is the muslim countries who openly demonstrate that depravity for life is alive and well in muslim political culture. Chew on that.....and what the hell are you so proud of anyway?
11. #3 - WWI and WWII not fought on religious grounds
William ,   Israel   (08.17.11)
and both were finite wars. In contrast, the little inter-tribal, sectarian battles among Muslims have cost milliions of lives, for 1400 years with no end in sight. That doesn't include the millions of "infidels" killed or oppressed by Muslim invaders, from Rabat to Dhaka.
12. HAMAS THE TERRORIST NAKED (End!)
mark ,   t.a.Israel   (08.18.11)
13. It is OK if ONLY Muslims kill Palestinians..................
Asher ,   NY,USA   (08.18.11)
14. POOR HAMAS, STUCK LIKE RATS
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.18.11)
What's a terrorist to do? After all as David correctly points out, Hamas routinely kills their own people, over politics. Heck when they fought for control of Gaza, they killed 1,436 Palestinians, killed by other Palestinians. As one Pal noted in the article: "This is an absolutely shameful and hypocritical position that only has one explanation; these factions are still betting on (the survival of) the bloody regime," As we expect nobody in the world really said much about that civil war, did the? Now I'm not sure who killed more, of that number (1,436) Hamas or Fatah? Funny, I never heard one call for the UN, ICC, HRC, AI and all those other nice sounding initials. They never said much, but just announce that your building a house in E. Jerusalem or the settlements. Watch out!
15. Money talks, conscience stays silent.
Joe ,   Canada   (08.18.11)
Since Hamas mentors in Iran & in Syria are not yet showing signs of immediate downfalls, it would be uterly risky to be critical of the Syrian money order mailman & occasional weapons purveyor. So it is not so important if a number of Palestinians get killed for being at the wrong place, at the wrong time & Hamas may not be too upset if some of the victims happen to be pro-PLO.
