Vlad   (03.17.13)
Remember? Olmert: We have evidence of a nuclear facility being built in Syria. Could you bomb it? Bush: Nope, sorry, let's publicly reveal it and try international sanctions instead. Olmert: OK.... *Israel bombs reactor*
2. The Guardian
Cipora Julianna Kohn ,   Z   (03.17.13)
the guardian is an anti-israeli paper. nothing they print regarding israel can be believed.
3. 1 Vlad
Cipora Julianna Kohn ,   Z   (03.17.13)
that sounds just about right.
4. US airstrikes?
Get Real ,   UK   (03.17.13)
#2 Agreed not much difference between The Guardian and the BBC.If it is not just a Guardian opinion it would have been useful to have attributed the report to a source .
5. Does he need to?
Arab   (03.17.13)
Come on Israel, please do us all a favor for once and strike Assad's forces. Thank you. We will love you after that :)
6. The Guardian is GARBAGE !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (03.17.13)
7. Pressing the Yanks to do your work for you?
Cameron ,   USA   (03.17.13)
8. No need for approval
Brod ,   USA   (03.17.13)
Israel does not need any approval from BO or anyone in defending itself from existential threats, WMDs and any aggressions.
9. #7
Vlad   (03.17.13)
It's because Netanyahu is the most spineless PM in Israel's history.
10. Why dont you say that about the Koreans or Japanese, cam?
Dan ,   Tel Aviv   (03.18.13)
US has six agreements to militarilly help other countries 'to do their work for them' - does not have that with Israel
11. Israel and the US should back off on bombing Syria.
Rivkah   (03.18.13)
Let the Syrians fight out their own civil war. Send food and medical helps but stay out of it otherwise since Avi Lipkin who may run for the Knesset said he thinks Turkey will destroy Damascus in the Isaiah 17:1 prophecy. Let the Muslims fight it out for themselves. The US and Israel should stay out of it unless the weapons of mass destruction from Iraq that are buries in the Bakaa Valley of Lebanon and some more in Syria fall prey to Hezbollah or Hamas. Let the Turks deal with this. They have a de facto Caliphate since Turkish citizenship has been offered to all the people of the "stan" nations like Turkmenistan, Kazakstan, etc. that used to be in the Turkish Caliphate long ago. Let Erdogan do the dirty business of fighting with Syria if he is so inclined. Avi Lipkin is on Gary Stearman's Prophecy in the News and the show might repeat through the week.
12. The 'Grauniad' nos 2 & 3
Claude ,   London,   (03.18.13)
Known as The Grauniad for its countless typos , (even worse than mine) it's not just on IL that this declining rag cannot be believed. We should all be relieved that the recession in public sector recruitment in UK has had a huge financial impact on this public sector funded rag , resulting in huge job losses. So the austerity we all suffer has had some small benefit as the Guardianistas now have to queue with The Sun readers to claim their state benefits!! You should see their discomfort in the queues outside the Job Centres. Brings a ray of sunshine to our endless winter
13. Will read more after Britain returns Falklands to Argentina.
Miron ,   USA   (03.18.13)
14. TO #5
ALAN ,   USA   (03.18.13)
PROMISE?
15. We cover enough for you already, #10
Cameron ,   USA   (03.18.13)
These are your immediate neighbors, and if the need is that vital for you, then step up and directly handle it. We will not get pulled into Syria or Hez Lebanon on your behalf.
16. I see little hope Obama will do anything at all.
Steven wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (03.18.13)
He's a pacifist...other than cruise missiles. Sad to say....Israel is on its own. Obama is on another 4 years of golfers digest.
17. dont ask the US to do it and don't ask permission to do it
zionst forever   (03.18.13)
The US should not be asked to stop arms convoys to Lebanon unless we are talking about the transfer of chemical weapons? These weapons art meant for use against Israel not America so we need to fight our own battles not ask the US to do the dirty work. If we are not willing to fight ourselves why have a military? Whilst we should not ask the US to bomb arms convoys we should not wait for permission to do the job ourselves. If we believe our security is under threat we need to act even if Obama does't like the idea. If we see evidence that Assad might even be considering ( not planning ) the use of WMDS even if Obama is not convinced and thinks the time is not right to intervene we must take military action ourselves with or without the green light. We spent years sitting back allowing Obama to fight a failing diplomatic war with Iran rather than going in ourselves to stop Iran getting a nuke when we had the capability. As we sat back watched Obama being played a fool for years Iran improved their offensive and defensive systems so today Israel doesn't have the hardware to do the job and we just have to hope Obama eventually sees sense and does the job because we can't. In Syria Assad already has the chemical weapons and Israel is in range of his missiles. He is also a desperate man so we need to do things the old fashioned way rather than the Obama one. Bombs are louder than Obamas words and are more effective.
