So let’s condemn Israel for defending itself against missile attacks from Gaza.
More than 40,000 people have been killed in 20 months of conflict between Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces and those fighting for his overthrow, a violence monitoring group said on Friday.
Rami Abdelrahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said about half the fatalities were civilians and the other half split about evenly between rebels and government soldiers.
“The figure is likely much higher as the rebels and the government lie about how many of their forces have died to make it look like they are winning,” Abdelrahman told Reuters

We are fast learning that the best way to go from being label a terrorist organization to become an equal at the negotiating table and an accepted entity in the world community – well, at the U.N. for starters – is to simply lob rockets at Israel. Nothing will get you the world status you seek quicker. Even better, Israel will be blamed!!
As slayers of Muslims, Israelis have always been downright dainty.
For true carnage you have to go to other Muslims killing Muslims.
Why, it is almost like there is a belief system at work that does not value human life…
Same with communists.
Interchangeable and disposable from conception to grave. Selective equality.
40K+Dead in Syria..? Gotta be the Judens’ Fault!!
Questions..?
40K Muslims dead in Syria? It’s Bush’s fault. It’s dem Juice fault.
Any minute now, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, and all points Islamic like Londonistan and Torontoistan, NYistan, and CAistan will break out into protests, screaming outrage over the slaughter of Muslims by the Crusader Bush and his sidekicks da Juice.
3…2…1…. Eh? What?!?!
You left out Michiganistan.
Islamists kill each other with the same fervor they do other nationalities and religions. Killing is just their way of life. Islamic governments change by bloodshed (assassination, coup, war) more often than by ballot.
Ballot? What’s a ballot? Didn’t you mean “bullet”? That’s the way of the prophet. That or the knife for decapitation.
This so called “cease fire” between Hamas and Israel (to me) is the worse possible action.
Had Israel prevailed and cleaned up Gaza, there would be a strong example of the fate that awaited other miscreants in the area such as Syria and southern Lebanon.
But noooooo, WE just couldn’t let the natural progression of things take place so now the price to be paid will even be higher.
I have no use for this administration and the UN for their tacit approval of terrorist organizations. Appeasement NEVER works!
The rockets haven’t stopped and a riot and shooting occurred at the Gaza border today when hundreds of Islamists tried to cross the border into Israel.
There can be no peace/truce/agreement with evildoers.
Syria is just a typical Intra-Islamic tribal power struggle and has no moral equivalency to the Gaza conflict.
Israel is stuck in a Psalm 83 (in the King James version) scenario with the Philistines/Assyria/Babylon all against her.
As Isaiah 10:5 and 31:8-9 says, these forces rise up as a rod in God’s hand when God’s people rebel – and violate His Commandments. Only the Sword (Word) of God can defeat them. The Sword of Man cannot defeat a vile spiritual evil enemy. Only repentance from sin defeats and overcomes evil. Abortion, promiscuity, perversion, greed and corruption have overtaken supposedly civilized ‘Western’ culture, both Judaism and the Church thus allowing the evil of Baal/Babylon to arise, encroach and take her captive.
Disproportionate > 40,000.
Media’s Mathematical Maxim.
Second Law of Media’s Mathemaical Maxim:
1 or any greater integer of Palestinian life lost in an Israeli response > Disproportionate.
Third Law of Media’s Mathematical Maxim:
As the lethal responder to muslim provocation approaches 1 Israeli, disproportionality of response increases hyperexponentially.
Conversely,
As the lethal responder to muslim provocation approaches 1 Arab, disproportionality of response decreases hyperexponentially.
In the human rights business model, the profit from a Jewish life is inversely proportional to a Palestinian life. Sound familiar? Replace “human” with civil, women, minority, homosexual, animal, environment, etc., and the same model can be recognized to direct other “rights” businesses, political parties, etc. It is a model which engenders greed and fanaticism. It is a principal sponsor of corruption. It is a reactive model, which serves to denigrate individual dignity and devalue human life.
Syria has very high death rates from car accidents. Just behind Egypt & Libya
there are 500 reported deaths per 100,000 cars in Syria & thisis an under report.
34. Deaths per 100′,000 in traffic per civil war.
I have quickly estimated that the civil war death rate. Has been only about 110 per 100 ,000 people.
that is very light for a war .
34 per 100,000 PRE war.
Send them more cars and maybe motorcycles, too. That should help.
So if Mahmoud & Fatimaare driving in their car with their children Mohamid & Mohammad & Mohamed & Mohammed swerve off the road to avoid bomb rubble &arekilleda2
You get the picture. What column are they put in – road deths or war victims?
I suspect the numbers of victims killed in actual fighting is minimal. I would be interested in knowing how the majority of the country is faring . it seems to be holding up .
