1. Asma Assad
NYC Girl   (03.04.12)
Unmitigated gall can't even begin to describe the unfettered hypocrisy of this woman. The video is absolutely brilliant.
2. What she has to do for her credibility.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (03.04.12)
Get Briton to restore the Balfour, cease calling Muslims as Palestinians, and correct the horror of 22 Islamic regimes created for 30 barrels of oil. The regimes are crumbling and Europe is becoming Eurabia. These are signs and omens that countries, people and the earth's resources cannot be ruled by dictators sitting on golden toilets for decades. Briton messed up as caretaker of this region.
3. Asma Assad - Hypocrisy at its worst
romo123 ,   London, UK   (03.04.12)
What a hypocrite. How can she live with herself?
4. What a complete DORK this woman is...
arlene   (03.04.12)
not good when Israel defends its citizens, but absolutely ok for the Syrians to slaughter their own citizens for power. Congrats to whoever made this video, her speech fits perfectly for her government!
5. Why do you suppose
Devorah`   (03.04.12)
she is wearing a shoulder bag for a sitting interview, and what do you think is in it?
6. Asma Assad is concerned for the people of Homs as much
Rivkah   (03.04.12)
as she was for the people of other Muslim nations who have suffered so much. But if she opposes her husband publicly, he will kill her. How many Muslim wives have been murdered for opposing their husbands on any matter? The brakes to the Mercedes are sabotaged or they are poisoned or beaten to death. The horror of Asma Assad's life right now is unimaginable. Remember that she and her children could not even get to an airport to leave Syria. She is as much a prisoner of the situation as those in prisons.
7. A Reincarnation?
Beth Goodtree ,   NYC, USA   (03.04.12)
Asma's attitude makes one think she might be the reincarnation of Marie Antoinette.
8. One more point
(03.04.12)
What adds to her hypocrisy is that her family came out of Homs: "Her parents are Sunni and of Syrian origin, originally coming from Homs" (Wikipedia)
9. revoke her citizenship
Hani ,   USA   (03.04.12)
Maybe the British Government can revoke her citizenship
10. I remember this interview clearly. It disgusted me
Sami ,   New York, USA   (03.04.12)
I remember this interview clearly. It disgusted me how she could call Israel "barbaric" and remain silent now that her people are being massacred.
11. Trapped in her own world
Yael Schlichting ,   Raubling - Germany   (03.04.12)
If she would take a birds perspective onto Syria, she would see, that both sides are violating our values. I don't want to blame her, because the situation wouldn't be better if the rebels prevail! This is how it is in these lands. The most brutal will prevail and it just doesn't make a difference, if we blame Asma Assad or the wife of Assad's successor. Imagine, the whole Assad family stays in Syria and the rebels prevail. They conquer Damascus and capture the Assad family...... Does anybody remember the faith of "Faisal II of Iraq"? They were murdered without trial and their naked bodies were dragged through the streets of Baghdad by an angry mob! Lean back and take a sober view on the situation! No party is better than the other. The situation in Arab/Muslim lands should be known to us only too good.
12. STAY OUT OF THIS MESS... IT'S NOT OUR BUSINESS TO SOLVE
Rafi ,   US   (03.04.12)
13. Israel caused as few casualties as possible
Ghilmeini ,   Khandahr b amereek   (03.04.12)
And was condemned for it. Syria is committing maximal damage and death and the world's double standard is clear for all to see. Israel does not have to change it's standards but the sure makes the goldstone report and HRW (where are those Israel bashing scum?) look like the lying tools they are.
14. 7 Beth Goodtree, NYC, USA: Marie Antoinette was a party girl
Rivkah   (03.04.12)
who drank alcohol, something Muslim women do not do, particularly not the wife of a leader of a Muslim country. Asma Assad is not attired in suptuous garbs but is sweet faced and conservatively and modestly dressed. She is in an impossible situation. She tried to get to the airport with her children to flee from Syria and was stopped and turned back by the rebels. Have some pity for her situation. She is not guilty of ordering or commiting atrocities against anyone, but she will likely be murdered along with her children and her husband. Is the attack on Homs any worse than the attack on the Branch Davidian Compound in Waco, Texas, by the Clintons in the 1990's? Tanks and gas banned by Geneva Convention were used on innocent children and their parents who had done no wrong to anyone other than to live in sin and milk the wefare system. America has a higher imprisonment rate than any other country in the world, including Syria. Maybe the USA should be stopped from harming its citizens since it does so much harm with the US INjustice system to so many.
15. "Osama" Assad
Ezra ,   Florida   (03.04.12)
Now I know for sure who the "Dracula" movies are based on Just look at her teeth when she talked. She is going to stick them in someone's neck any second now, and suck the blood out the life of her victims.
16. Therein lies a callous & ruthless heart towards her subjects
Harry Wright ,   UK   (03.04.12)
17. yes shes hypocrite, but so is israel
zetzky   (03.04.12)
we all saw what israel did on 2009 so who are u kidding? u think her hypocrisy will somehow help whitewash israeli terrorist mass crimes? pls.
18. The Deaths-Head had apretty face
moriah ,   sacramento usa   (03.04.12)
19. Zetsky, you moron....
David ,   Hartford USA   (03.04.12)
had Israel acted like Syria is doing now, 50,000 Gazans would be dead instead of 1,400. (and most of those were terrorist dirtbags anyway.) As military officers from many countries have stated publicly, Israel has done more to prevent civilian deaths than ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN HISTORY. That should be simple enough for even you to understand.
20. 5 Devorah: Probably lipstick, a wallet, a change purse,
Rivkah   (03.04.12)
a pen, kleenex, a comb, maybe a hair brush, kotex, a water bottle, a cell phone, the usual things a woman has in her purse. Or do you think it is a bomb that will explode if she says the wrong thing?
21. to Rivkah
ygalg ,   israel   (03.04.12)
the exchange emails with Queen Rania that were leaked, were revealing. she is not innocent.
22. to 17 what have israel done in 2009? pray tell
ygalg ,   israel   (03.04.12)
I recall israel initiated war against Hamas, as response to constant missile attack on israeli civilians. hypocrisy? israel slaughtering its civilians? if you unable to distinguish, then you're the hypocrite.
23. #20 Rivkah - I have no idea.
Devorah   (03.04.12)
24. 21 Ygalg, Israel: Sorry to hear that. Well, Amsa is no
Rivkah   (03.04.12)
Queen Esther for the people of Homs, where she once lived, some say. No doubt Eva Braun was not guilty in Adolf Hitler's atrocities, but it is unlikely she would have been dragged into a Nuremburg trial if she survived instead of perishing in the bunker. You notice that the wife of Saddam Hussein was not branded an international war criminal by Interpol, nor was the wife of Colonel Gadaffi nor was the wife of Yassir Arafat. Oh, Arafat was a Nobel Peace Prize recipient who like Obama was not deserving of the prize. But nonetheless, Suha Arafat has not been branded an international criminal.
25. 7 Beth Goodtree, NYC, USA: How do I know Marie Antoinette
Rivkah   (03.04.12)
drank alcohol? Someone took a mold of her breast to design the champagne glass for her. What I wonder is if it was the flat wide champagne glass or the deep granny breast glass size.
26. 23 Devorah: It might be a tape recorder in her purse in
Rivkah   (03.04.12)
case she is misquoted by a reporter or for a future book. Ariel Sharon used to tape record all conversations with reporters, having been misquoted so often, he no longer trusted them.
27. 25 cont'd. The shallow champagne glass was probably before
Rivkah   (03.04.12)
the French Revolution and the long deep one was just before the execution of Marie Antoinette, is my guess. One's body shape changes with age and stress.
28. 7 Beth Goodtree, NYC, USA: The reason Muslim girls don't
Rivkah   (03.05.12)
party or drink alcohol is because if they do, they will be killed by their brothers or fathers if they are from a traditional Muslim family.
