tambour ,   eilat   (08.23.12)
Our deterence is in dolphins under water. Obama might care to know the mortal danger we are in, and act like a President of the USA and not Jeremiah Wright's apprentice.
2. When did Israel say that it will attack Syria?
Yossef   (08.23.12)
3. Why don't we put down our sabres
Ethan Schwartz ,   Eilat   (08.23.12)
and be friends. Money is better spent on education.
4. Remember Operation Orchard, Suleiman?
Walt ,   Georgia, U.S.A.   (08.23.12)
Now take a nice cup of shut the heck up! Nothing new, the usual blabbering of a failing Arab regime.
5. seems as though...
postroad ,   orange, ct, usa   (08.23.12)
there may be a cultural thinbg but I note that many Arabs, perhaps used to the flowery language of their cultrure, seem alwayhs to get hyuper and sayh plain silly things,regardless of facts, reality...seem in fact unable to know when to NOT say anything
6. Why should we attack Damascus? A city already in civil war
Israeli ,   Israel   (08.23.12)
We are leaving it to the Syrians themselves to destroy their own capital.
7. Syria we will destroy Israel nuke plant
Roxy ,   Israel   (08.23.12)
Not only will that kill Israelis but also many Arabs,Bedouins as well, any nuclear fall out would reach not only Syria,but Lebanon,Jordan, Gaza and West bank making this area uninhabitable for years to come!
8. All mouth no action!!
Adar ,   London   (08.23.12)
9. really?
(08.23.12)
you syrian morons and butchers are still licking your wounds from the israeli bombardment of your future nuclear site. still crying about this israeli feat. such stupid bravado speeches ala arab nationalistic speeches of the camel nasser. yes, you didn't even say pst! after this israeli bombardment of your site and neither did iran come to your rescue after this peration. and you want to bomb the israeli nuclear reactor? what a stupid joke. it is protected by huge amounts of anti missile missiles that not only will destroy whatever you send to dimona, but israeli iaf will destroy your country and seat of government...thereby making sure your butcher leader is gone forever. be forewarned! do not tamper with the jews. they are always thousands of steps ahead of you. of course, your islamist arab stupidity which you arabs share flagrantly, will make your devastation more than appropriate.
10. A POPULAR FOOTBALL CHANT
DA RAP ARTIST ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (08.23.12)
Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough .
11. #7 Roxy
Ken ,   Burma at peace   (08.23.12)
That's probably true, but that would be equal punishment for all those who won't make peace. And maybe that's what G-d wants.
12. And how would this Suleiman nobody
A ,   Belgium   (08.23.12)
actually KNOW what Israel has as far as nuclear weapons., and what the fading dictatorship called Syria needs to destroy them? Hell, I'm sure even DM "Creampuff" Barak doesnt even know what Israel has...or cares. Has Suleiman been talking to Vanunu, or maybe Benazzi?
13. The book of books said 2500 yrs ago...
Galut ia ,   Selah   (08.23.12)
in the time end - Damascus will become a pile of rubble over night and become a habitat for Shepard s ... note historically this prophecy has yet to be fulfilled
14. #11 kenny And Just Who Are You Refering Too?
(08.23.12)
Bibi and Prior Israeli P.M.'s Have Been At The Table For Decades and the arab/bedouins INSIST On Making Demands Instead Of Negotiating? Hey kenny did you know that trans-jordan HAS BEEN AWAITING Their Loyal Subjects for Over a Half Of Century??????????? Instead of Taking Whats Given Them? NOOOOO They Want It All? So Sad To Bad, POSSESION IS 9/10's OF THE LAW, Anex Sinai, JudeaAnd Samaria NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
15. somebody is desperate for a seat at the table
Aaron ,   Rehovot   (08.23.12)
how desperate do they sound... their country is falling down and hes hiding in Jordan... good luck on that reappointment buddy.
16. That was the wrong thing to say.
Stephen in New York   (08.23.12)
Sure to be consequences to current mad dog regime.
17. Syrian price tag version
observer ,   Egypt   (08.23.12)
you misunderstood the guy. he meant: if the US attacks Syria, she will destroy Israel's nuclear facilities. The
18. Delusional
Harrybaby ,   CanIsrael   (08.23.12)
They must be getting pretty desperate in Syria. Maybe they've totally lost it?
19. we need to preempt before Assad does get any ideas
zionist forever   (08.23.12)
We must destroy those missiles & WMDS before either Assad uses them or they are passed onto terrorists. No more 1973 Golda style lets sit and wait for the arabs to fire the first shot so we don't look like aggressors and instead lets have some 1967 Eshkol thinking of lets preempt and destroy the enemies weapons before they can be used. Time to stop working on America's timetable ( if I military action is not convenient for the US then we do nothing ). If we were willing to show some leadership when we had a chance 4 years ago we would have hit Iran but Obama didn't want us to and now Iran has improved its offensive and defensive capabilities and so Israel is no longer capable of doing the job. Iran is a future threat but the immediate threat and that is Assad with his missiles & WMDS and Obama has more important things on his mind like an election so lets not rely on the US. Right now Assad has his finger on the red button and he can fire chemical weapons at Israel anytime he likes. Forget what he might do to Dimona with 20 missiles think what he could do to Tel Aviv with 2 missiles with chemical warheads. Bibi & Barak want a war this is the one they have a duty to fight and to do so ASAP.
20. #9 syrians, really?
stephen ,   ludlow   (08.23.12)
See Deuteronomy 26:1-5; especially verse 5.
21. One Problem With Your Logic, Roxy (#7)
emanon ,   USA   (08.23.12)
The problem with your logic is the opposition is not logical. Their logic: "Kill Jews? Sure, OK. Kill some of our own people at the same time: Oh too bad, but they'll die martyrs and get to paradise." Remember, theirs is a religion of death and ours is a religion of life. Killing their own will not dissuade the arabs from trying to wipe Israel from the map.
22. Just goes to show how insane the Syrian gov't is.
My Planet Israel ,   US, Israel   (08.23.12)
What a display of total barbarism and a moronic mentality! Such governments should NOT be allowed to exist. This idiot who said this will go down in flames for sure and he will, undoubtedly, deserve it. Crazy people out there: total lunatics.
23. Israeli price tag version, No. 17
Marco ,   Spain   (08.23.12)
If Syria attacks Israel for any reason , in addition to Damascus the Alawi provinces of Latakyie and Tartus will be wiped off of the map. I hope this further clarifies matters for you on the various available versions.
24. dear ambassador do you remember the bekaa valley in 82
dovdevan ,   ashdod,paris   (08.24.12)
when about 80 syrian mig were destroyed within a day ? without a single israeli loss ! if you and your gang of butcher could have destroy israel since 48 you would'nt have waited the end of your regym to even try it
25. #14 If what Roxy says happens,
(08.24.12)
I guess sitting at the table for decades just doesn't cut it. Maybe G-d got tired of waiting for his chosen people. As for possesion, you can have all that glows.
26. #21, "Wipe Israel off the map" with democracy in Palestine
Steven Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (08.24.12)
27. syria
spookey ,   birmingham uk   (08.24.12)
another numpty arab , at the moment the arabs are to busy butchering one another , arab national past time, bye the time they have finished the would be nothing left to attack arabs who need them
28. Israel and the reactors
andy prigge ,   ORANGEVILLE   (08.24.12)
So you may destroy the reactors and after Damascus is a ruinous heap!
29. Arabs are much more practiced & efficient at killing Arabs
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (08.24.12)
Especially the Assad family,the darlings of the chattering classes.
30. There's a misunderstanding here
Sparky the Wonder Do ,   Falls Church, VA   (08.24.12)
OK. The Assad regime is not the sharpest blade in the Axis of Resistance cabinet but the good Ambassador might bone up on the difference between being the host country to even a Three-Mile or Chernobyl catastrope and the host country to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The second country loses in that exchange,
