Cries for help unanswered

There is no international agreement yet on how to get humanitarian aid into Syria. CNN's Barbara Starr reports on the different options and the difficulties that surround each of them.

    Well said Buzzer but this is not the topic that we are discussing. Right now we can see a conflict escalation and horrendous scenes of people dying. I am not much of a religious person and not any interest of which side wins. The reality is that civilian people is dying (men, women, elderly, and children) and we must act to stop the bloodshed. If a government cannot defend (or attack) their own citizens, it has not legitimacy, The international community must act NOW. If our children, family and friends were on the same situation, we would like that other people will come to our help. Let's place ourselves in their situation...

      Let/s be humans – my response was a retort to Israel is our Enemy and it looks like for "Dirty Evil Zionists" as well...for some reason the model on this particular post is not functioning properly.

  9. israel is our enemy

    Don't believe this propaganda.

    When CNN starts to report on the living conditions and the deadly idf assults on the people of Gaza, then you can believe CNN is an honest broker. But CNN is not an honest broker.

    CNN is in cahoots with the dirty evil zionist in racist apartheid israel and is goading the American people to go to war with Iran because israel has our Congress by the balls with the help of their spy agency AIPAC.

    Stop this madness.

    End all support for the dirty evil zionists.

    When do these "assaults" occur on Gaza? How about following indiscrimate rocket attacks against Israeli civilians on neighboring Israeli towns or when a suicide bomber blows up an Israeli cafe or bus. Once the assaults start, are they just against the first innocent civilians the IDF finds when they go in? How about against the specific indiviudals or groups of indiviudual that committed the attacks, or against specific Hamas members/leadership RESPONSIBLE for ordering said attacks. To be CLEAR I'm not defending Israel's "ethnic cleansing" policy of forcibly driving Palestinians off land that they've lived on for generations to include killing Palestinian civilians in the process of removing them...this policy is absolutely wrong and the Israelis are unjustified by their actions and are irrational that their actions would not produce "blow back". BUT you specifically need to step back and realize certain people within the Palestinian population (Hamas primarily) are just as GUILTY with their actions...because they are indequately equipped militarily to stand toe-to-toe with the IDF they resort to murdering defenseless Israeli citizens in a warped idea that they are "fighting back" against the government of Israel and its policies. How has this tactic "worked out"? The Israeli government has just dug their heels in and solidified the Israeli population to "hold firm and fight back". In the process, innocent Palestinian civilians suffer. Who gives a CRAP about "discussing history" in an attempt to portray the other side as the "victim" in this conflict...the history is so complex and both side are so guilty, neither side is EVER going to come out a clear winner in the court of public opinion. Is there a solution? No until both sides are willing to compromise and those people are not in control right now.

  13. No more wars for the dirty evil zionists

    zioism is evil and wrong.

    israel is an illegal state.

    Once zionism is destroyed then discussions can be made on the people living in Palestine. But israel is a evil that needs to be destroyed.

    There can be no israel in the Middle East.

    Plain and simple.

    Try to understand that Buzzer. You can't cause you're part of the problem. So like israel, you'll have be wiped off the face of the earth. Sorry, you should not have stolen someone's else's land. Go back to Russian or Poland/Easter Europe or whereever your kind came from.

    Try to understand this knucklehead...my statement above shows no more "support" for Israel than for the Palestinians...there are victims of BOTH sides (civilian men, women and children) that just want to live their lives in peace, and there are evil doers on BOTH sides. You call zionism evil and wrong...Muslim Jihad is just as evil...you don't fight evil with evil...END OF STORY.

    Finally, your ASSumptions of where I'm from, what "kind" I am makes you look like a bigoted FOOL.

    Russian? No. Polish? No. Try active duty USAF 15 years....I had NO PART in stealing someone else's land....you complete and utter MORON.

    Wiped off the fact of the earth? Going to the Qatar in a couple of months for 6 month deployment. I will be happy to meet you on the battlefield, anytime any place.
