1. Syrian Killings Unreported in Mainstream Media
DavidM ,   USA   (10.14.11)
Despite thousands of casualties, the massacres in Syria are ignored or barely mentioned in much of the western media. While commentators at the BBC, Reuters, and the New York Times regularly emphasize any disturbance in Israel they will not report on the Syrian situation. They do not want anything to disrupt their narrative that whatever happens is always Israel's fault.
2. Let the Syrians Kill Each Other....
andy ,   tel aviv,ISRAEL   (10.14.11)
Saves Israel the job.
3. How Is It The arabs Can't Seem To Get it
(10.14.11)
Together? Who In The arab World Champions For The Commoners? Not Other arab Governments. They Are TOO WORRIED ABOUT THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS? Yella
4. It doesn't matter
Salma ,   Palestine   (10.14.11)
They aren't Jews doing the killing they are Muslims and Muslims doing the dying. So it basically isn't relevant.
5. Where is the outrage?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.14.11)
What, no clamoring for an emergency meeting of the Security Council? What, no calls demanding immediate intervention to stop the bloodbath? What, no threats to boycott Syrian products? The international community are a bunch of hypocrites. Good lesson for Israel -- next time we have to go into Gaza or Lebanon, no need to worry about civilian casualties.
6. #4 FAKE salma,
Salma ,   Palestine   (10.15.11)
does your Torah say its okay to lie ?
7. That man is such a fool
zionist forever   (10.16.11)
Just like in Egypt this didn't start off about a desire for democracy it was all about a young population and shortage of jobs. If Assad had started a jobs program, created artificial jobs for the short term he would have been a hero and the people would have loved their caring president. If they wanted political reforms all he needed to do was set up a phoney commission to investigate what political reforms can be made. Assad would announce this committee would investigate for a year and he would then impliment the proposed reforms. The people are happy because they think reforms are coming, the momentum is lost and this committee never reports back but Assad is safe. Instead despite of the fact he has had a western education and he has seen his fellow dictators fall because they were unwilling to make reforms the idiot still chose kill rather than buying off the people. Once an idiot arab thug always an idiot arab thug.
