1. not exactly a fertile ground for democracy
david ,   new york   (08.01.12)
perhaps in another 800-900 years
2. this is supposed to shock people ?
Stu   (08.01.12)
your replacing a mad man madder men, you cant expect civilized behaviour from people who have been brutalized and beaten down for so long. There angry, violent and want revenge. Theres a whole lot more blood going to be spilt after assad is gone that the UN will conveniently look the other way for, you go the blind part right UN now can you try for the justice part of this statement as well?
3. why do they shout allahu akbar
motty ,   usa   (08.01.12)
4. Oh My
Dan ,   Florida - Tel Aviv   (08.01.12)
Oh my we are so afraid of "world opinion" and worldwide "human rights" groups. We are shaking in our boots. Let's get this clear, what is so tough to understand about Syria's Assad who violates every U.N. resolution as he knows the U.N. is impotent and the rebels who are a group of barbaric tribal maniacs who have only read one book in their lives and it was a crappy book to begin with.
5. You really can't blame them
Laila ,   Montreal, Canada   (08.01.12)
You really can't blame them.
6. The new american friends...
Yossef   (08.01.12)
7. Welcome to Greater Lebanon.
Ariel ,   Europe   (08.01.12)
The Sunnis and all the others minorities in former "Syria" will be really busy in a coming pair of years.
8. Arab Spring....Boiiiiiiiing
Koose E Mack ,   NY NY   (08.01.12)
Wow, that Arab Spring is bouncing back in everyone's face. Let's hope this violence will produce a Democratic govt. and not one run by Al Qaeda or The Muslim Brotherhood. I guess violence and revenge is inherent in the culture?
9. Meet our new NATO "allies"
Guest ,   US   (08.01.12)
The new "Islamic NATO", financed by Saudi A, Qatar, etc. and led by the unrepentant genocidal occupier, Turkey with the full support of al-Qaeda. It can't be a "confidence builder" for you Israelis either. It isn't one for the "minorities" cowering in their basements awaiting their turn for slaughter. Clear out the civilians and get out the gunships for these savages. Yesterday, they murdered 40 policeman. What would our reaction be? NATO has become a disgrace for supporting this mass-murder. Go back to the "North Atlantic" where you belong. We're not supporting al-Qaeda terrorists nor your failed strategy of "if you can't beat 'em', join 'em'". That's why we have bumper stickers on Cars around town which read; "We're already against your next War". This is where we draw the line-We're not supporting mad dog al-Qaeda killers. .Someone call in an air strike.
10. Everyone is suddenly so naive?
moriah ,   sacramento usa   (08.01.12)
Did you really think the rebel's would use different tactics? Did the Libyan rebels act any less cruel than khadafy's men? How about those sweet Egyptian protesters who attacked that female reporter? I guess they were overwhelmed with Democracy...
11. Beware of of people screaming alahuackhbar
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (08.01.12)
12. What a peaceful and friendly Israel lives in
David ,   Israel   (08.01.12)
13. This is not new. Syrian rebels are committing war crimes.
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (08.01.12)
There have been other youtube videos showing rebels murdering alleged members of Syria's army or other groups. Some of the videos have been removed by YouTube. The Syrian "rebels" are definitely committing war crimes. Assad is a butcher, but it looks like the "rebels" are no better.
14. not to say its right
Orange   (08.01.12)
but the 3 people they executed probably executed hundreds of opposition people in the same fashion.
15. Both sides are committing atrocities.
Reuven   (08.02.12)
And the UN and European Union do nothing but criticize Israel! The Middle East is one tough neighborhood. The Iranians have the same mindset as the Syrians. We'd better take out the Iranian nuclear program soon.
16. How many times do you have to kill 4 men
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (08.02.12)
I don't believe that as many shots were fired when the Allies landed on D-Day
17. Syrians
Hermann ,   Minneapolis, USA   (08.02.12)
Finally the Syrian dogs get what they deserve. The Syrians have always been a 'bete noir' to the Jewish people. So long as they keep killing each other all the better for Israel.
18. Let them devour eachother
Cameron ,   USA   (08.02.12)
Could care less if barbarians slash their brothers down.
19. They deserve each other
Chris ,   Stanford, California   (08.02.12)
Soon, these blood thirsty primitive hoodlums will become the new "friends" of Obama and his goons. What about you, Nancy Polosi, planning another trip to Syria?
20. #14 actually
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (08.02.12)
Reports are that these weren't Syrian soldiers, but local leaders who refused to collaborate with the Islamists and tried to keep their people out of the fighting. As punishment, the Al Qaeda forces executed them. I guess it is lucky that you are so wise that you can act as judge and jury without knowing any evidence.
