2. Is Isaiah 17:1 just around the corner...Mmm...
Jake Stone ,   USA   (08.03.12)
...Makes one wonder...
3. Assad probably wants a war with Israel
zionist forever   (08.03.12)
If he can provoke a war in the hope it will get the people to rally around their fearless president in his war against the zionist entity. At the very least he ca milk it for the PR, the more civilians Israel kills the better for happier he is because they are his enemies and he can get some wonderful PR out of it filming the bomb sites telling us about the mass graves. Hezbollah is far from the only threat to Israel from Syria although I imagine if these missiles are being taken to the Lebanese border they are awaiting delivery to Hezbollah. Time to stop waiting for the Syrian attack and destroy those chemical weapons and any known missile storage facilities. We don't know what Assad will do, we don't know who will replace him and we do not know what terrorists will do if they get their hands on this stuff so time to stop playing games before Assad fires the first shot. What happened to the era of the Israeli pre emptive strike something in an age of missiles is more important than ever?
4. Ass ad & Ass ma...your days are numbered !

NO flowers...
5. war
yakov ,   telaviv   (08.03.12)
I don't know if Assad wants war with Israel or not. What worries me more is the fact that YOU want war with Syria and Iran and Lebanon and probably Egypt. Maybe add intifada 3 in there and you'll be REALLY happy.
6. The war can wait...
Beary White ,   Norway   (08.03.12)
Let the islamic followers kill each other first, shouting to the same god during their killings. Truly, their god really LOOOVES his followers. We should applaude their lovely god for his deadly control over islamic followers. Islamic followers are participating in most of the wars today, north Africa and Asia with their deadly religion.

IRAN - that is totally beyond Israel's control what happens on that front. Eventually the Americans will attack and when that happens even if we do nothing Iran will almost certainly attack Israel anyway. SYRIA - I don't want a full scale ground war just bombing raids, leave the fighting to the Syrians. Those missiles & chemical weapons must be destroyed because we don't know what Assad might do with them or whose hands they might fall into after he is gone. LEBANON - it may or may not come to a war with Hezbollah but if it did would you rather fight a conventional war with them today or tomorrow fight a war when they have Scud missiles and chemical weapons ? EGYPT - I have no desire for a war with Egypt and neither do either Israeli or Egyptian politicians. Morrisi is a tough talker nothing more. HAMAS - Nowdays they dislike Assad just as much as the Syrians do. They are not stupid and are not going to start an intifada over a war with Syria which has nothing to do with them. I don't think war is fun or like the movies where the hero can be shot 1000 times and still gets up and wins the day but sometimes you need war to stop small threats turning into bigger ones.
8. Military intervention, means chemical war, Assad has warned

9. #8 little stevie Those Ar'nt the Butcher of syria
(08.03.12)
Chemical Weapons? Those would be saddam's The One's He U.S. Military Were Looking For! Chemical ali mixed these cocktails for the kurds and shia arabs !!!!!!!!!!!!! שבת שלום/ברוך הא שם
10. Russia is really ready to take on the world
William ,   Israel   (08.03.12)
just to keep an imperialist foothold in the despotic Arab Middle East.
11. #5 - or we can use Israeli Leftist approach of
William ,   Israel   (08.03.12)
appeasement, and bow to Arabs after each and every offense. As long as Namal Tel Aviv is peaceful and the parties can continue, who cares if the rest of the country is under threat?
12. #8 - NATO and Israeli forces good at surgical attacks
William ,   Israel   (08.03.12)
Either the world, including you, stands by to watch thousands of people become refugees and thousands of others slaughtered in cold blood, or the world can ellicit the power it has to stop this. It seems that the world is divided into three categories - those who are afraid of Arabs, those who blindly support them (I believe you're here), and those who loudly oppose them (very few voices, but this does include Israel). With the power the world has, they could minimize the use of chemical weapons very quickly, in order to save the majority of lives.
13. Ehud Barak
Vlad   (08.03.12)
Are you freakin' SERIOUS!!!!???? Israel will CONSIDER taking action???!!! NO!!!! By all means, if Israel is attacked, smash Syria, but other than that, STAY OUT OF IT!!!! This isn't Israel's fight.
14. #12, I do not blindly support Arabs, or Jews
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (08.04.12)
...I support containment, not war. Containment has worked well since 1947 with the former Soviet Union, and China. I do not support Zionism or Terrorism. I support Palestine Israel, both Arabs and Jews, to live in true freedom and democracy.
15. To Steve Bennasi: You're a godless fool!!!
Jake Stone ,   USA   (08.04.12)
16. The War can wait
04.08.2012   (08.04.12)
Don't kid yourself Beary White Norway. Assad is shaking in his boots but his being afraid of his own people, he has to put on a face.
17. #15, Born Irish Italian Catholic, I like Secular Humanism
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (08.04.12)
...which "embraces human reason, ethics, social justice, philosophical naturalism, while specifically rejecting religious dogma, supernaturalism, pseudoscience or superstition as the basis of morality and decision-making."
18. To 17: Much sympathy!!!
Taz Man ,   USA   (08.05.12)
I am Irish/Scottish...brought-up Roman Catholic; thank, God...he saved me from that evil cult! I, now, serve the true risen Lord as a Baptist. You see? even you can be saved, along with the many Jews and Muslims who don't believe in Jesus Christ. As true Christians, of faith, I am in constant prayer for the salvation of the lost--there are so many! I'll pray for your lost soul; I hope you find the true Christ...and, that He will free you from the cultic practice of Humanism. God bless you and yours!!!
19. Does it matter who was firing @ the pali refugee camp?
BrettL ,   JHB South Africa   (08.07.12)
A U.N resolution should be passed condemning Israel!!! Sorry did I say Israel??? OK for the syrats and other arab nations to bomb these poor people but heaven forbid the Israelis harm a hair on their poor heads!!! Proof once again of the arab / UN hypocracy!!! Where are the cries for these poor peoples protection??
