1. Whatever Happened to that Arab Spring Thing?
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (08.29.14)
From what I can tell, it was a major bluff. The Arab world is worse off today then ever. They have innumerable terrorist groups running around like wild turkeys executing people, blowing stuff up, wreaking havoc, displacing millions of people from their homes, etc., etc. People like Noble-Prize Winner President Obama (remind me why he received that award) have contributed to unleashing some of the worst human suffering in decades, and seem at a complete loss as how to contain, if not, quell it. The bottom line is that well into the 21st century, the Arab/Moslem world has not advanced into a cultured, humane society with the sorts of moral behavior that has long been considered elementary in the Western world.
2. #1 he earned the Nobel Prize
(08.29.14)
Enough of the sarcasm: Obama earned the Nobel Prize when he shut Ben Gurion airport and imposed an arms embargo on Israel when fighting Hamas.
3. Jerry Brown, Nancy Pelosi welcome u to California!

Get yourselves to Mexico and hop on the Freedom Train to California! While you're traveling, learn this phrase: "No habla inglés." Upon your arrival in Los Estados Unidos, Jerry Brown and Nancy Pelosi will welcome you with Obamacare and food stamps!
4. #1 Arab Spring
Mark ,   London, UK   (08.29.14)
The Arabs have liberated themselves from the straight-jacket of despotic regimes and released the full potential of their cultural wealth - chaos, violence and the triumph of sect/tribe over the commonwealth. On top of this, of course, every failing is due solely to outside interference.
5. All Those Displaced syrians Can Thank
(08.29.14)
the supremeless lead no where aka ayatollah Cockamaie and valamir putin!!! Oh let's Not forget the community organizer, you know the Nobel prize winner b.H.o. I'm sure he is studying the situation, you can't put the horse before the cart???
6. Wow
steve from raleigh   (08.29.14)
That must have been one really offensive YouTube video besmirching the prophet Mohammed. Hopefully Obama is on the job rounding up American citizens for that crime.
7. 90 % of jews were diplaced into Palestine and
why!   (08.29.14)
90 % were dispalaced from Palestine.
8. Where are the cries ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.29.14)
... for an immediate investigation into war crimes (either side of the conflict)? Where are the calls for an emergency session of the Security Council? Where is Navi Pillay and the UNHRC? Why is no one making threats about the ICC? Oh ... silly me. Israel has no part of this internecine Arab conflict, so there's really no reason to bother.
9. HOW EASILY THE SYRIANS WERE FOOLED
stude ham   (08.29.14)
would they have thronged in such large anti government flocks had they known the real truth behind these demonstrations? well too bad... now they also have to contend with the worst nightmares that isis can inflict.
10. It is time to dissolve NRWA...
Beary White ,   Norway   (08.30.14)
..and put all islamic refugees into one sack... Those so-called "Palestinian-refugees" whom actualle are arab-hostages , punished under the islamic-umbrella of revenge, does NOT need a special protectection ny longer. If they do need protection, it should be against the islamic leaders who knows how to abuse them... Actually, the islamic refugees are a result of the islamic deadly behavior in anys Islamic country, to spread islam into the western world. So, refugees from islamic wars and killing fields should be sent to suitable islamic countries; sunni to sunni-land and shia to shia-land.
11. WHY AREN'T THEY BLAMING ISRAEL FOR THIS ONE?
IRANIAN JEW ,   LA USA   (09.03.14)
It is very strange. This not being blamed on PALI issue, is just not familiar to us. I wonder when this ISIS is going to attack Turkey and Saudis.

Who is going to teach them what peace is? This is the first thing you need to teach. Who cares about the 2 state solution of yours?
