1. Israel has not been involved in the Syrian civil war, but,
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (08.27.13)
if the Arabs choose, again, to blame Israel for their inherent predicaments and punish the Jews, the Jews will respond, and the response will not be pleasant...!!
2. Assad and his terror friends will be hugely surprised
C   (08.27.13)
should these vile genocidal maniacs attack Israel, they will be hugely surprised.
3. Don't be weak like in Gulf War 1
hit them hard!   (08.27.13)
4. Put away the Gas Masks
Paul ,   Jerusalem   (08.27.13)

6. It would be easy.
Jarvis ,   Joseph USA   (08.27.13)
Only if Assad was the one to blame. Unfortunately, I think survival will force the state of Israel to think in unconventional terms, because it is out numbered, small and even meek by some standards. First it is the L-rd who must help. But how will we entreat of Him in our backward paths? Unto the Leaders, Generals, Elders, Commanders and Infantry men; Can you turn away the fine food from thy mouth and let the poor taste and eat and be full? Even for one day? A free will offering not required by the law? In your own way... is it possible? Is it difficult, not to glorify it? I have not asked you to do this. The tacticians may fail but the L-rd does not fail. Entreat of him that does not fail. Shall you cry and cover thine head with earth saying" I wish I were never born?" Is it a enough when thy brother starves and is lacking as laughing stock? The widow and the fatherless? Israel shall hearken unto the L-rd and all the law of Sinai! At least "Thats what cha mouth say."
7. Will they attack Syria?
Israeli 2   (08.27.13)
I only believe it when I see it.
8. Netanyahu resign!!
Steven ,   San Francisco/Haifa   (08.27.13)
Releasing terrorist murderers, apologizing to Turkish anti-Semites, blocking Jewish rights to the land, involving Israel's energy and prestige in self-defeating and dangerous "peace" talks with an implacable and merciless enemy. For these reasons please resign and let Bennett or Hotevely or Danon or Lieberman or others worthier than you take the reins as PM!
9. If these Syrian war criminals attack, smash their cities.

10. America must act and stop genocide
Mark Jeffery Koch ,   Cherry Hill, NJ USA   (08.27.13)
As a Jewish American who was born a few years after World War II ended I, like many other people, learned of the horror of six million Jews who were murdered, of which one million were children. We learned later that our government knew that Hitler was sending Jews to concentration camps and gassing them. We chose to do nothing. Almost fifty years later we knew what was going on in Rwanda and again chose to do nothing and 800,000 people we murdered. It is morally repugnant for anyone to claim that unless it is in our strategic interests we should look the other way as men, women, and children are tortured and murdered, with the Assad regime using jetfighter planes, tanks, and artillery to reduce his cities to rubble, and repeatedly using chemical weapons against them. It is disgusting to read comment after comment in America media websites saying "let them kill each other, it does not involve us." Mass killing of a civilian population anywhere in the world does involve America. We are the only country that has a military that can go anywhere in the world, not to wantonly attack another country, but to prevent genocide and mass murder. We sent our forces to Somalia to end a famine. We sent our airforce to stop genocide in Kosovo. We have used our military to help Haiti after the earthquake, and Japan after the devastating tsunami. America must act when it can to prevent mass murder and war. To close our eyes and ears to the deaths of innocents anywhere is not what America is or ever was about.
11. #8: Steven
Israeli 2   (08.27.13)
Or is it Even Steven? I agree 100% with all that you said except for the last part. Do you really believe that any of the above people you mentioned will be any better than our elected PM? The answer is: NO! They are all the same Banana. Trust me.
12. Never ever show your hand...dont pine to the
Al   (08.27.13)
microphones. Mr PM stop being a PR wannabee. At a time like this its best to shut up and never ever show your hand.
13. forceful response by bibi
alexi   (08.27.13)
bibi says if syria attacks which is possible or via hassan. What does forceful mean? Yaalon says we will use our might to hit syria- that tells syria something. Israel should pull out of talks with the arabs and likud should move to push bibi out as soon as possible.
14. #11 Israeli 2
Steven ,   San Francisco/Haifa   (08.27.13)
Hi friend. I'm more even than odd, thankfully. You may be right about the incompetency and/or moral values haziness of all those I named. But certainly there are those politicians more in keeping with our values than Netanyahu has proven to be. Best,
