1. Boots On The Ground Ban Ki-moon!

Al Queda is al-quaking in fear of you, Mr. Ki-moon. It's time you and your UN buddies say the forbidden T-word out loud: TERRORISTS! And do something other than issue your pathetic condemnations. YOU ARE DEALING WITH COLD - BLOODED, INHUMAN KILLERS. And only Israel has had the BALLS to confront TERROR on all fronts!
2. And I hope that our IDF are locked and loaded.

3. This shows the weakness of the UN
Berk ,   Amsterdam   (08.29.14)
desperate cases require desperate remedies. I am in deep sorrow over the kidnapped forces. I assume they will not just be released as Ban Ki-Moon is asking for.
4.  Berk#3 miracles happen

Well, you may call it "IDF rescuing UN peacekeepers in the Golan Heights"
5. Better change PM to deal with this
ggg ,   Tel Aviv   (08.29.14)
On Pipinyahu's record with Gaza, the only way this country will ever be able to trust in the army ever again would be a change of leadership - and his two equally incompetent stooges, the lifeless Yaalon and the "Everything will be OK" Gantz.
6. Arabs being Arabs
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.29.14)
Doesn't matter which side they line up with, they're all bloodthirsty savages. Israel needs to send a couple of well-placed missiles -- one at Assad's forces; one at the other side (too many to single out an individual target; hit them all). Since either side is ill-equipped to deal with Israel, they'll back down and be very, VERY careful going forward, and target only one another. We just need to send a message conveying Israel's displeasure. They are going to have to play their bloodthirsty games well clear of the Israeli border. Israel is not going to be drawn into this internecine Arab conflict, but we sure as hell can end it for all sides. They need to know that.
7. Israel is not concerned
(08.29.14)
A sane person would be concerned that al Qaeda now borders Israel, and would be thankful that the Zionists kept control of Golan despite the efforts of Rabin, Peres, Barak, Olmert and Livni. But there are still Israelis who ignore what happened in Gaza, Lebanon and now Golan, and are demanding that Israel repeat the same in Judea and Samaria. These Israelis honestly ask "what could possibly go wrong?"
8. 'Al-Qaeda now on the Golan'
mat ,   uk   (08.29.14)
if Al Qaeda start against Israel should Israel ask permission or advice from UN EU to bomb and deal with them or just carpet bomb the whole area other countries bomb and no one says much
9. Interesting how UN not demanding ceasefire in Syria !
