the are working hard to topple the syrian leardership , the last anti-israel regime in the middle east ..... the wealthy saudi and qatari families must care about their countires that lack democracy and freedom of expression instead of triggering war in syria ..... change is coming to saudi arbia and qatar .. it is just a matter of time . all your concessions and efforts to satsify america and israel won't help you , when it is the zero hour for the gulf revolution
3. a question
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (05.16.12)
Obama is arming rebels so that Syrian civil war will not end until the Sunni perform genocide on the Alawi, and maybe Christians and Druze. Can anyone explain why Obama got the Nobel peace prize?

6. what direction will the weapons be facing after assad
zionist forever   (05.16.12)
Those Syrian rebels could end up fighting each other for power or joining terror groups like Hezbollah using those probably American & European weapons if they are coming from the Gulf states against Israel. No matter where they weapons come from they will probably be pointed at Israel once Assad is gone.

8. Not good news.
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (05.16.12)
Since when were Arab League regimes interested in promoting liberal democratic government in AL countries?Judging by their backers,there's every reason to believe that the Syrian rebels will set up a regime as bad as the Baath/Assad regime it seeks to replace. Nothing will change except for the names and the signatures on the backers' cheques. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!

If you have a problem with our king actions and dont like it when we help our MUSLIM brothers in Syria. Please go to Riyadh, Saudi. And say it in front of us. So that we muslims can teach you some lessons.
