| Syria warns Israel of possible action by militant Homeowners Associations | |
| 2003-11-03 | |
| CAIRO, Egypt -- Ordinary Syrians might attack Israeli settlements in the occupied Golan Heights in retaliation for last month’s Israeli air raid on a purported militant training camp near Damascus, Syrian officials warned. If your security post gets egged or TP’d don’t say we didn’t warn you. Syrian Foreign Minister Farouq al-Sharaa said the response may come against Jewish settlements on the Golan, the strategic plateau which Israel seized from Syria in 1967. Take this as a veiled threat - the way it was intended.
(we have Go Fish and the Crazy Eights and the Old Maid and the ...) Don’t forget there are many Israeli settlements in the Golan. I am not exaggerating, but I am describing things as they might happen," al-Sharaa In Fort Wayne the neighborhoods band together to contract snow and trash removal. In Syria they buy mortars - unless the Golan Best Buy provides rental service. "The Syrian people, after being provoked by the Israeli attack on its territory, are asking the government to retaliate," al-Sharaa said, according to al-Hassan. We have been flooded with petitions. "It is difficult to restrain the people’s reactions, especially as there are Israeli settlements in the Golan within a short distance of Syrian territory. | |

| #16 Jakester - Are you proposing that we waste all the Syrians, Israeli settlers, Gnomes, Pink Flamingos, Chrome Balls, Lawn burros or lawn jockeys? JFM, culturally speaking, what's up with this whole Marianne controversy. Is it as big a mess as having Barbara Streisand's husband play Cowboy Ronnie? |

| #11 The Israelis should suggest that ALL the Syrians attack the Golan heights: preferably at the same time. Line them up nice and straight. Should take the Israeli airforce about an hour to kill all of them and solve a lot of problems. |

| #10 Super Hose In France a few years ago there was a "Yard Gnome Liberation Front" who kidnapped yard gnomes and set them free in their natural habitat (forests). |

| #6 especially as there are Israeli settlements in the Golan within a short distance of Syrian territory. al-Sharaa needs a geography lesson -- the most difficult thing about the terrain in the 30 miles between Israel and the Syrian settlement of Damascus is the need to keep your foot on the brakes to avoid outrunning your artillery support. |
