1. Any Questions?

2. The UN allows this, no other possible explaination.
Duke ,   USA   (04.26.12)
That Syria is on a UN Human Rights committee, makes the word Human Rights meaningless. Let us all keep turning a blind eye and go back to our shopping. Evil wins when the Good do nothing.
3. syrian slaughter
D ,   Anywhere, USA   (04.26.12)
Question, why do the u.n and the arab leauge just stand by " making empty threats" while the so called rebels are being systematically killed. Men woman and children. These guys dont need to be handed over once caught. They deserve the same fate as their victims!!!
4. No words
rachel   (04.26.12)
I am at a loss for words at how cruel and evil human beings can be to one another.I cant help wonder will the so called peace activists who always condemn Israel say anything about this horrific atrocity?
5. The bells toll for Bashar
John Donne ,   Timbucthree   (04.26.12)
For Whom the Bell Tolls by John Donne No man is an island, Entire of itself. Each is a piece of the continent, A part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less. As well as if a promontory were. As well as if a manner of thine own Or of thine friend's were. Each man's death diminishes me, For I am involved in mankind. Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee.
6. The authenticity of the video is questionable
Nasty ,   USA   (04.26.12)
If it's real, the actions are completely barbaric. However, the video itself seems to be dubbed over and/or edited for possible propaganda purposes.
7. Buried alive....is that all?
tiki ,   belgium   (04.26.12)
That's what Catherine Ashton & her EU hypocrites must be thinking. That's what the UN, the Arabs, the Muslims, the ever protesting NGO's & all the rest of the Usual Protesting Suspects must be thinking, for I havn't heard 'one peeps of protest, no outcry of discust, no exclamation of extreme worry....have you? This is what Israel & the Jews will look like (again) when they will listen & depend on our 'friends' of the world. It shows (again) that we can ONLY rely on ourselves. We should never ever forget it (again)!
8. Man buried alive
Bill Rogers ,   USA   (04.26.12)
What good is the UN if the Security Council can control all attempts to intervene.
9. Human Rights
Alain ,   Sao Paulo Brazil   (04.26.12)
Where is the Danish "peace" activist? Why is he not challenging the Syrian army? Afraid to be buried alive too?
10. not shocking enough for European extreem left
yigal ,   north   (04.26.12)
As long as he wasn't struck by an Israeli butt of a gun.
11. Flotilla....
(04.26.12)
Remember the world's outcry after the Gaza flotilla, and now there is total silence for Syria. No rallies, no condemnations from Annie Lennox and other celebrities, no newspaper condemnations. I sense a bit of hypocrisy here. If I'm wrong then let them send a flotilla for the refugees of Syria
12. ANY WORDS FROM ASHTON ??
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (04.26.12)
Yes ,as we expected ,TOTAL SILENCE from the chinless woner a.k.a. Catherine Ashton .
13. BURIED ALIVE ( A RAP )
DA RAP ARTIST ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (04.26.12)
Yo , this is yet another jive ; 'bout a poor syrian man buried alive ; what I am saying let no man put asunder this poor syrian man is now six feet under This sort of act one can not defend The cruelty of these beasts has no end .
14. # 6
Birdi ,   Israel   (04.26.12)
You are wrong, this barbaric video is real. Go to You Tube & see for yourself.
15. Assad
jim ,   USA   (04.26.12)
The Un and, Obama, Putin, Romney, Gingrich, Santorum, Paul, Bush, - looks like the only one with any balls to stand up to this is the french. This is shameful that we are not by force of UN Russia Nato or some external force stopping this in its tracks now this minute and not another second. every second that this continues brings the world and all its humanity lower and lower and buries us all. any human on earth can realize they are being buried along with that human with a family and loves and tender moments and goals and a mother and father and a son and a daughter and a wife. you see yourself being buried- help someone for me and for you.
16. some people are just animals
aiman ,   jersey   (04.26.12)
they dont deserve to be called human. Simple!!!
17. faked by Assad
observer ,   Egypt   (04.26.12)
to intimidate own soldiers against defection and terrorizing own people against any form of protest, even shooting a video. Can't you see no damage can occur for holding breath for less than 10 seconds of burial. Why is it a lie? from its size. EXAGGERATION.
18. And the world does nothing but watch
Sami ,   New York, USA   (04.26.12)
And the world does nothing but watch. They should force the Assad family and their children to watch. A Government of savages.
19. Where Is The World Outrage
ACortez ,   Anaheim, CA, USA   (04.26.12)
Imagine if this were the Israelis doing this to a palestinian. Politicians are two faced cowards and only get into politics to enrich themselves at the expense of we the people. Too bad Bush isn't in office or this would already be a done deal.
20. the un
(04.26.12)
just passed seven resolutions this month against israel NONE ON THE SYRIAN GOVERNMENT. ENOUGH SAID!
21. Where are the Dutch anarchists? Why don't they help them?
Leftist chickens!!!! ,   Israel   (04.26.12)
Because they know what Arabs will do to them, with NO APOLOGIES.
22. Israel! Never give away your land!
Hans-Peter Dollhopf ,   Ludwigshafen/Germany   (04.26.12)
Who wanted Israel to deliver the Golan Heights to that terror regime? TX it never happened. Israel! Don't give away your land!
23. If they do this to their own..
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (04.26.12)
....imagine what they would do to us.....
24. Hollywood In Syria
jhonny ,   norway   (04.26.12)
they should change the name of this to Hollywood in america, don't believe what you see, you think the Syrian army would purposely berry him alive and post it on youtube? they would just shot him or take him to jail like the other. you all are ignorant, all this video should be verified before being published by big new paper like this.. so unprofessional..
25. The U.N and Ashton are too busy condning Israel.
hadad ,   u,k   (04.26.12)
26. #24 jhonny, Yet you believe anti-Israel propaganda
Carl ,   USA   (04.26.12)
Do you ever question false "news reports" that vilify Israel like Mohammed al-Dura, the Jenin "massacre," wanton massacre of Gaza civilians, or the Turkish terror flotilla? Bet those are all perfectly believable despite being roundly debunked months or years later!
27. Everything you need to know about militant Islam
Elad ,   Houston/Israel   (04.27.12)
""Say that there’s no God but Bashar, you animal."
28. it is barbaric
daniela ,   panama   (04.27.12)
but I ask myself how much barbaric will be the next ruler of Syria.. from experience the ¨bad¨just grow in those countries.. unfortunately, we did not see much difference yet between one dictator and another.. If you doubt ask iranians their opinion today about how was it with the Sha. It is sad, but its the truth
29. Syrian citizen buried alive
Rhonda ,   Chicago, USA   (04.27.12)
Thank you #9 and #10. I was thinking the exact same thing as both of you.
30. The barbarism of the ME
Cameron   (04.27.12)
Glad to know you Israelis kicked the living shit out of such Syrian soldiers in past years.
