Just wait till it widens some more.

So what did the missile hit??? Probably some poor guys house who has nothing to do with the conflict !!!

Question to MSNBC News: Why do we now see a headline "Israel fires into Syria" but never saw a headline "Syria lobs mortars into Israel" or "Syria fires mortar shells into Israel provoking retaliation??"

Your bias is showing.

Israel has not joined the Syrian War- repeat- Israel has not joined the Syrian War. Israel fired an advanced Tammuz missile (an electro-optic missile) as a warning shot to Syria- into an eastern Goan post after Syria fired mortars into Israel. UN has been notified of the incident since UN has Peacekeepers in Golan Heights and they are supposed to guarantee demilitartized zone. After 3 Syrian tanks entered the demilitarized Golan Heights, after 3 Syrian mortars landed in Israel and after a 120 mm mortar shell landed today- a warning shot to Syria.

When did the "Seven Day War" become the 1967 Mideast war? Are we going to rename the "Hundred Years War" or the "War of the Roses" next? How about renaming WWI and WWII as well!

If the Israelis don't respond with some kind of ordnance the Syrians will just keep firing mortar rounds into Israel. Believe me it's no mistake that those mortar rounds are landing in Israel. The next time Israeli troops may be crossing the border to visit Assad's forces. I only wish the United States had the guts to do the same.

good. bout time SOMEBODY DID SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Gotta love these MORONS WHO BLOG about Israel Who say stupid crap like [ Its always about you ] AND THEN [you get stay out of it let them duke it out themselves!] Well here's a news flash.... if mortars were falling in your back yard you whiny a$$ babies would be standing on your roof tops SCREAMING at the top of your lungs for somebody to do something about it ! So unless you lived it STFU ! Morons

100% disabled Viet Nam Army officer, Purple Heart, Silver Star with V (valor), multiple trips into Cambodia... when the U.S. was lying and saying that we were not there! Great grandfather killed in World War I, grandfather wounded in World War II, father lost right leg in Korean War, me loss use of left arm and other body functions in the Viet Nam War and two sons in Iraq and currently Afghanistan wars.

Here we go again, sticking our nose into another country's war. We have been bank-rolling and arming radicals as long as I can remember. We have become the piggy-bank and weapons dealer for every cause in the Middle East... all in the name of Religion, Freedom and Democracy.

During each of these wars we have used another country to do our initial dirty work while we waited for an excuse to join in and kill millions of native people along with a few hundred thousand of our own.

Now it is Israel’s turn... we have armed them to the teeth and have backed their every exchange... legal or not... mostly not!

One of these days we are going to crap a big pile and fall into it face first! We need to stay out of these wars and advise Israel to do the same!

And for all of you arm-chair soldiers who have never been to war... don't even bother to respond because you have no idea what a "real war" is about! And often times, we are not there for the reasons that our "lying" government is releasing to the public!

I wonder why the press has not reported about the recent 70 or so stray missles fired by the Palestinians into Israel from Gaza. I believe the number is some 800 since the beginning of the year.

Over the past 24 hours, Palestinian terrorists have fired sine 70 rockets and mortars into Israel from Gaza, wounding three Israelis, causing damage to property and sending a million residents of the south into bomb shelters.

In fact, rockets have been fired at Israel on a regular basis. As of October 2012, over 800 rockets had been launched at Israel from Gaza since January 2012.

Didnt't take long did it? Well, when you are a principal on 'team' UNITED SNAKES (US/Israel/NATO) - what is there to do but join in on the murder and mayhem in Syria. I mean, it's not like this 1/2 acre of Zionist hell hasn't been in the fray from the beginning, huh? I mean, who brought in the al-Qaeda 'rebel's into Jordan and trained them and armed them for the aggression against Syria, if it wasn' for the US/Israel 'evil twins', huh? I mean, where on Gods' little water planet haven't these two MFer's murdered and maimed into the millions in the name of Jewish terrorism, conquest, land, water, oil/gas theft and UD imperialism?

As for the 'thank the vets for their service to America' (Remembering the Haditha massacres (USMC) and the Abu Ghrain torturting, raping. sodomizing and all the vile things that our 'patriots' have shown the world they are capable of (US Army) - as 'civilized' Americans (Vomit-Vomit).

Yassar, Jew MFer's, when your little rats nest of Zionist hell goes up into the stratosphere. a cloud of sparking Kosher confetti, don't look for the people of America (or the world) to be building anymore 'Hollohoax memorials' to your memory. Instead, look for the world's biggest fiesta. Kosher chicken tacos galore and tubs, and more tubs, filled with ice and 'wall-to-wall' ice cold Corona's celebrating the demise of the Bible barbarians. I, myself, will be there in my Michael Jordan air 'Nikes spitting on the radioactive kosher ashes and shouting: "Peace! Peace! finally peace in the Middle East!!! See ya later Jew MFer's when I visit ZioHELL!'

Well, here's the perfect opportunity to put those Syrian chemical weapons to use by return fire.

the muslim brotherhood? oh wonderful those terrorists are gettingitno everyone bussiness, theyare also one of obamas major supporters, we are all screwed, to me and this is my opinion, only good muslim is a dead muslim, not to be trusted, they will behead you in a heartbeat, they are no good terrorists,muslims have been banned from my stores, we wont sell to them, or extend them credit, ever,they dont like it? they can start one of thier silly jihads,

Shows how Israel is trying to take over the world, yesterday the Golan Heights, tomorrow all of Syria.

It's not all about Israel (courtesy of Hugh Fitzgerald)

The Arab war against Israel is a classic Jihad. It can be called the Lesser Jihad, and began before the advent of OPEC oil money, and the mass migration of Muslims behind Infidel (enemy) lines. It began because Israel is in the midst of the dar al-Islam and is an Infidel state run by the heretofore despised Jews -- a particularly intolerable affront.

But the Lesser Jihad against Israel is merely a subset of the Greater Jihad against non-Muslims in general; it is not, as appeasers of the Throw-Israel-to-the-Wolves variety argue, a substitute for it. The larger Infidel world is now subject to what can no longer be hidden: the classic Jihad to spread Islam until it covers the globe, and Islam and Muslims everywhere dominate. To many non-Muslims, this seems to be a fantastic dream. But it is not. Do the demographic math. In Holland, thirty years ago, there were 15,000 Muslims. Today, there are one million -- and the country is a much more unpleasant, expensive, and dangerous place as a result, and the Dutch do not know what to do.

In France, there are 5-7 million Muslims. Some "integrate." Some (especially Berbers) even leave Islam. But most do not. And there is always the possibility that the seemingly well-integrated may, for obscure as well as obvious reasons, and for personal as well as larger political reasons, "revert" to "immoderate" Islam. The same is true in Great Britain, Spain, Germany, and Belgium. Italy seems, for various peculiar reasons, the least likely to exhibit appeasement. Andreotti, that famous crook, was pro-Arab and anti-Israel merely out of the usual financial considerations, and not, one suspects, out of some failure to understand Islam: he was too intelligent for that, but may have suppressed his understanding because he felt the Arabs were too rich to offend, and he could not conceive that Islam was a civilizational threat -- possibly out of contempt for Islam itself.

Though very few would recognize it, the Infidels of Europe in fact owe the Israelis a debt. For it is the Israelis who, like a lightning rod, have until recently borne the brunt of Arab and Muslim hatred and attention. Only now, with the first feeble moves to constrain Islam and Muslm power in Europe (and the word "feeble" fits), are some in Europe beginning to look at the history of Jihad, to read Bat Ye'or on the treatment of non-Muslims, and to rediscover the texts.

These texts show that Jihad is not an intermittent but a constant feature of Islam, that it is not tangential but central, and that whenever Jihad seemed to disappear as a motivating force, it was only because Muslims were in a state either of contented ignorance about the outside world (as in a village under Ottoman rule), or were too obviously lacking in the wherewithal to conduct Jihad. But neither of those conditions, which alone explain the absence of the call to Jihad, any longer obtains. Now the wherewithal exists; it is the revenues from an accident of geology. The knowledge of the non-Muslim world also exists; indeed, Muslims have been permitted by non-Muslims to move en masse behind what the Muslims at least (or most of them) can only regard as enemy lines -- without that enemy comprehending what it has done to itself.

The Lesser Jihad against Israel is simply part of the Greater Jihad against all non-Muslims. And so are those other Lesser Jihads, such as that carried on against Hindus in Pakistan, where they have been persecuted and driven out; in Bangladesh -- ditto; in the Indian-controlled parts of Kashmir; and in India itself. Muslims view these various local jihads as related. They have no hesitation in mouthing over and over again the list: Palestine, Iraq, Kashmir, Bosnia, and so on. These are the places where the Infidels are militarily superior. But there are other Jihads within countries where the Muslims have been and remain superior. Such, for example, is the campaign of murder against Christians in the Sudan; the persecution and smaller-scale massacres in Nigeria (the "Jihad" against the Ibos and other Christians led to the declaration by the latter of their independence), with the Biafran War leading to a million Ibo deaths; and the jihad in Indonesia, where the war against the Christians first in East Timor -- illegally seized by Indonesia -- and then in the Moluccas and other islands continues wherever and whenever it can.

This is exactly what Arabs and Muslism, though they see the connections, do not wish the Infidels to see. They do not want us to read what is stated in Qur'an, Hadith, and Sira about Infidels and what is to be done, or what in fact was done, to them. They do not want you to read about the real (as opposed to the falsified) history of the treatment of all non-Muslims -- Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, Hindus, Buddhists, Confucians, under Muslim rule.

Western students of the origins of Islam have no difficulty showing that the belief-system is a mixture of pre-Islamic Arab pagan lore, with stories and figures appropriated, often in distorted fashion, from both Judaism and Christianity. It was the perfect vehicle for justifying Arab conquest and promoting further conquest: something that "looked familiar" to those who were richer and culturally more advanced but militarily less organized and powerful. Some of those could be convinced over time that this uncreated and eternal belief-system was the true version of their inferior, distorted religions (Judaism, Christianity). This view, combined with the steady pressure of the cruel status of the dhimmi, inevitably led over time to a falling-away from the dhimmis' original beliefs and their acceptance of Islam -- not by all, not even by most, but steadily, a little all the time. And when one combines the grim legal status of non-Muslims with the physical insecurity, the mass killings that could occur whenever a local Muslim population was whipped up (as with the massacre of all the Jews of Granada in 1066) and whenever it could be claimed that this or that non-Muslim was not complying with the rules that governed the "protected peoples," the entire non-Muslim community to which such an individual belonged could be made to pay the price.

When will a sufficient number of people in the Western world, in the press and television, and in governments, begin to fully grasp that Islam is not merely a religion but a geopolitical program for conquest?

ignorant third world countrys need to catch up with the rest of the world.

The article didn't say if it was the Assad forces or the anti-Assad forces that lobbed the mortar into Israel.

Before you voted for Obama who wants to cut down the size of the military, even make them pay for there own medical care, didn't you realize the most of the Middle East will have Nuclear capability in 10 years or less ? We need a stronger Armed forces not a smaller one. China who claims they could have a 200 million man army if they want it. Bigger then all the NATO forces combined. North Korea and other hostile countries Nuclear ready ... At least Romney saw this grave threat. Obama ignores it.

when the diplomacy fails the shooting will start.

i really think all this peace talk crap is a waste of time, any other President would have been blowin some countries up ready to protect Israel... but not ours, ours would rather go bow to the iraq leader and have tea or be flexible for Russia after the election... Does it even strike anyone at all that the bible says

^{Jeremiah 4:16-17}

The Lord said,

“Tell the nations that my people
have rebelled against me.
And so an army will come
from far away
to surround Jerusalem
and the towns of Judah.
I, the Lord, have spoken. and then theres this one (

Ezekiel 25:5-7

Contemporary English Version (CEV)

⁵ Your capital city of Rabbah will be nothing but pastureland for camels, and the rest of the country will be pastures for sheep. Then you will know that I am the Lord God.

⁶ You hated Israel so much that you clapped and shouted and celebrated.⁷ And so I will hand you over to enemies who will rob you. I will completely destroy you. There won’t be enough of your people left to be a nation ever again, and you will know that I, the Lord, have done these things.

it also says that all nations and leaders will stand against israel, meaning the U.S that israel will be on their own, that will be when the end starts and Jesus returns, hope everyones ready, its fixing to get ugly.. would have been nice to have had a president that would start protecting GODS land, we have never not back israel full throttle no questions asked untill now and yet we cant figure put whats going on in our own country the fact that we've repeatedly sinned, removed GOD from everything and then we want to just make small talk around the country, while we go broke and prepare to lose more money over the next 4 years, while we lose more of our freedom because we are weak and sensitive about getting our feeling hurt if someone says the name JESUS so we have it removed well enjoy soon it will be Shira law and then you will be forced to worship something.. youll be calling on GOD then and he will not hear us, he will have turned his ears from our cries! get right it wont be long!!

Please stop fighting.

Why the hell are we still supporting this racist, war-mongering country? Israel gives us nothing, but gladly takes our billions of dollars in foreign and military aid.
