#1 Son, nothing you do is "legitimate". All property on this earth belongs to GOD, not baby assad.

You are in way over your head. I would suggest you pipe it down before Psalm 83 is put back into effect.

#2 Note that the AP did not choose to enclose "armed resistance" in quote marks in the first paragraph. Apparently even an attack by the regular forces of a sovereign country is now regarded as "resistance" if the target is Israel. What Syria is threatening is aggression, pure and simple, since they are not in possession of the disputed territory and Israel is.

The APe writer (Albert Aji) also shows clear bias in using a loaded term ("brushed off") to characterize Israel's decision not to return to the talks. This obviously trivializes Israeli concerns, as though Palestinian murder squads were not a legitimate concern of civilized people.

I wonder how the AP would feel if we "resist" this Orwellian propaganda by putting a cruise missile through Aji's bedroom window?

Remember Julius Streicher, Aji. Follow his path, share his fate.

#3 Btw, the dead tank in the picture is an AMX-13 and almost certainly Israeli if this is from the Golan. Egypt had a few of these at one time but they were out of service by 1967 and Syria isn't known to have used them at all. Syria did use a few WW2 German Panzer IVs in the Golan, the last time these venerable vehicles saw combat.

#4 "The road for peace and stability in the region and the world goes through ending occupation" of the Golan Heights

I'd say that "The road for peace and stability in the region" crosses directly over Assad's grave.

#5 There is no "armed resistence" from a nation. Any attack is an act of war. Syria best keep this in mind.

A "comprehensive and just peace" is accomplished by renoucing violence, recognizing sovereign nations and keeping to agreements.

Just can't get beyond the violence. Never have. Never will.

#6 Big mouthed wimps. They had their chance and failed to take it, for a good reason. They don't want Damascus looking like the Shia quarter of Beirut. Hey guys, try operating without electricity, fuel, or water for a month, see what your population thinks.

#7 Syria did use a few WW2 German Panzer IVs in the Golan, the last time these venerable vehicles saw combat

Also the area of the last stand for the M4 Sherman. The Sherman equipped tankers on the Heights in '73 held off the Syrians long enough for the more modern M60s and the WWII era Centurion to arrive.

#8 Also the road to the Golan will be littered with the burned hulks of T72s

#9 Big mouthed wimps.

Exactly right. Bring it on, Syrian pussies.

#10 I still think we need to sell the Israelis a dozen or so A-10s. I'm sure baby asshad's pucker hole would cinch up tight with just the thought...
