34. Fine
EC ,   Washington DC   (11.15.12)

Kostya ,   Cali   (11.15.12)
Really? Suck a fat one russia me and my family lef the soviet union for a good reason! Hypocritical totalitarian scum govt !
37. Thanks Mr. Putahn
Peezda Vamatch ,   NY NY   (11.15.12)
Talk about hypocrisy!!!! You think Russias military actions in Syria, Georgia, Afghanistan were disproportionate?
38. Putin is right!!!
Yair Rabinovich ,   Toronto, Ontario   (11.15.12)
Israel is responding disproportionately. They should respond in exactly the same way they are attacked, blindly firing missiles at Gaza with no regard for civilian life.
39. Use of proportionate force the Russian way.
Uzziel   (11.15.12)
Israel should follow the advice of the great Russian leader and conduct itself like the Russian army in Chechnya, cutting all the essential services to the population in the middle of the winter, shelling indiscriminately cities without prior warning to the civilians until the cities are reduced to a pile of rubble, "take no prisoners" policy "disposing" the prisoners in the places they are caught and poisoning with polonium dissidents and journalists. What are you waiting for Israel?
40. SAID WITH A STRAIGHT FACE: NO SHAME OR EMBARASSMENT...
Rafi ,   US   (11.15.12)
41. was that "pravda" or "izvestia"?
red ,   toronto, canada   (11.15.12)
"disproportionate"? compared to what? chechnya or georgia? or libya or syria? has he gone soft in the head, or merely hypocritical? mr putin is just looking out for the interests of his repressive client regimes throughout the middle east, in a slightly pathetic gesture to reclaim the stature and the empire of the former soviet union. too bad the newly re-elected potus hasn't got the balls to put him in his place.
42. Russia support arabs
Kazmis ,   Karachi Pakistan   (11.15.12)
Yes Russia support Arabs, but USA do support Israel, but for what cost? Israel citizen still under fear from rocket attacks. Friends try to live in peace with neighbors, forget Russia & US.
43. Putin the little Staline with a big mouth
(11.15.12)
44. what does that even mean?
courtney ,   usa   (11.15.12)
this coming from the country that played it fair in Georgia 3 years ago right?
45. One Word: Chechnya. Take ur own Advice Russia
My Planet Israel ,   LA   (11.15.12)
46. to #13: let's not get silly
tom ,   toronto, canada   (11.15.12)
although i don't like it either, your comment about nobody taking putin seriously, aside from obama, is way off the mark. russia still has a huge nuclear arsenal, and the means to deliver it to a target, anywhere in the world. the strategic arms reduction talks, which used to be obama's pride and joy, were totally unmentioned in this election campaign, BECAUSE THEY HAVE GONE NOWHERE. putin, whether we like him or not, is in charge of approximately 10,000 nuclear warheads. even if he's a buffoon, he MUST be taken seriously.
47. DISPROPORTIONATE??? SO THEN, WHAT'S THE proper FORMULA?
DAV ZEE ,   AMERICA THE BEAUTIUL   (11.15.12)
IF M'OHAM HAS 300 ROCKETS, MORTARS AND MISSILES, AND Schmuel has 30 planes with 10 missiles and M'O hides behind their children and women and 13 are wounded, but Schmuel loses his cousin aunt and uncle, isn't it an EVEN draw (300 = 30 X 10/13 - {3 DEAD} x 257 sorties - jabardi = we're even.
48. Russia better put up or shut up
Sarah B. ,   USA/Israel   (11.15.12)
Or else Moscow is next. Israel won't be afraid to turn Russia into rubble. If Putin thinks Russia can beat Israel head to head, then quid pro-quo. Being it on. Israel has the strongest Air Force and greatest generals of all time. The chutzpah Putin has. Youre next Russia!
49. Putin
jvn ,   oregon USA   (11.15.12)
How do you tell this Red Commie to "shut up" in Russian?
50. What is proportionate?
StevieT ,   USA   (11.15.12)
I guess a proportionate response would be to send non-targeted rockets "willy-nilly" into Gaza. Of course, on a one for one basis. On second thought, make that 2 for 1 since they are the aggressor.
51. Further bloodshead!?
Dani   (11.15.12)
Palestinians have been shooting missiles mostly onto Civilian towns and cities for years! Israel only now has taken action after many attempts to talk. The only blood Israel wants to spill is that of terrorists so they can stop people from being killed! Why is any one listening to this man?
52. Putin
jvn ,   oregon USA   (11.15.12)
Israel should send one bomb down this Red Commie's big mouth just to shut him up. POS.
53. What about Grozny, Mr Putin?
Mladen ,   Be'er Sheva, Israel   (11.15.12)
54. We dont want "situation normal"
rebecca ,   Modiin   (11.15.12)
Normal from Gaza is rockets being fired at Israel. Thank you but no, that's not what we want.
55. Muslim minorities make up a seventh (14%) of Russia's popula
DAV ZEE ,   AMERICA THE BEAUTIUL   (11.15.12)
1 out of 7 are Russian muslims... VLAD's a well practiced super politician... what did you expect? kisses and hugs? Pumpkin juice? Lotkas and cheese? Borscht? frankly I am astounded Peres was accepted in Vlad' office...(that there's a stranger in a strange land)...wonder what he's up to in the real world...perhaps a message about Iran imploding??? or Was arafat poisoned by his wife to collect the HUGE life insurance policy?? A message from BiBi, perhaps wanting to sell him some off shore gas...in exchange for...?
56. 100% PROOF PUTIN IS A LYING HYPOCRITE
NudNik69   (11.15.12)
An absolute disgraceful, disgusting individual. A dictator, liar and butcher of Chechen people and blind-eye to Syrian massacres. GET LOST THUG!
57. #23 only one problem
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (11.15.12)
It's not international law. It is a recommendation that is not actual law because no nation in the world would ever abid by it. There is no such international law
58. up yours Putin !
Haim ,   TA   (11.15.12)
59. The Russian government is full of it
Joe C   (11.15.12)
It goes without saying that Putin is a professional hypocrit.
60. Russians Killed All Muslim Terrorists In Theatre Defense
Robert Blum ,   New Albany, USA   (11.15.12)
When Muslims took over a theatre in Russia a few years ago. Putin had zero tolerance! His men killed everyone, including the victim-hostages! If any enemy fired just one single rocket into a Russian civilian populated area, I guarantee you, Putin would annihilate any and every threat, just as America and any other country's leader would, and unlike Israel, they would not be careful about harming enemy-people's civilian populations. Look at Clinton and Thatcher when they bombed the Serbs.....
