1. Syria and Assad
Shoshieb ,   Migdal Israel   (12.08.11)
You have got to be kidding me - this a-h won't take credit for the over 3,500 citizens massacred? What does he wear the uniform for - good grief - the chinless wonder.... and the world does nothing ...
2. As foretold.
John Prophet   (12.08.11)
Israel, you never had a choice. This war would be hoisted onto you no matter what you did.The only thing you can do now is decisively finish it once and for all. If you just kick the can down the road, future, yet to be born Israelis will suffer through this all over again time and time again.Now is the time to eradicate the evil that threatens to devour you. Give it no hope of victory, now or in the future. It's the only way out of your nightmare. 
3. Here we go again!
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.08.11)
Everyone wants to topple a known dictiator to replace him with an unknown entity Look what happened in Egypt, Mubarak was kicked out, it looks like the Muslim Brothehood will replace him LIbya, another choice example of a folly, nobody as yet, knows who the new factions are-Kadaffy was a killer, I doubt if the new guys will be any better
5. How to get others to fight our enemies for us
ZionistBecky ,   Israel   (12.09.11)
It's the aged old question for our people, isn't it? The author makes some good suggestions, but we need to go further: are there Israelis in Syria right now committing atrocities that can be blamed on Assad? Are we using all our assets (especially AIPAC) to guilt the US to send its jets over Syria and bomb the government into submission? Chaos, death, and anarchy in Syria will benefit Israel. Ancient Israeli kings had no problem using duplicity to conquor the land promised to us by G-d, our so-called "leaders" today should do likewise.

Based upon the latest experience in toppling Arab Government,'s once they're overthrown, the Islamists are taking power You only have to look at Libya & Egypt to get the idea Islamists are a far greater threat to Israel than Syria ever was or could be Americna inserted it's meddling hand and turned the M.E. into a state of turmoil
7. Toppling Asad for humane reasons
Kazim Ali ,   Kut, Iraq   (12.09.11)
I recall reading a piece written by an Israeli strategist about 2 years ago or so. Where he stated correctly the way to deal Syrian intransigence and games into threaten the syrian alwite security forces as this is the only institution in Syrian , the rest like the army is just a show . The criminal gang in Damascus knows only violence, the Israelis can contribute to the peace and civility in the region by targeting and helping the Syrian opposition to rid the Syrian people from this corrupt criminal gang .
