Syria's ambassador to the US on talks with Israel -21 May 08

[hotmotlow]

Is he the Syrian Ambassador or Dr. Evil from Austin Power??!!

[rachelgolem]

Israel sends out secret mind control waves that cause Syrians to kill each other. HA HA

[MrSlamr34]

Why cant every Country just mind their own FUCKING Business! We are all the same, we bleed RED! I am sorry Water separates us. We will never get anywhere as the Human Race until we can Co Exist as one....

[MrOnevirus]

Fuck all the Jews just kill them all and the world will be a better place

[vadimzdonutube]

say that to the arabs

[manzo7500]

@MrOnevirus

We could say that about the Muslims but I would just prefer that they convert to a more peaceful religion like Christianity or Judism or even atheism.

[2paclove2]

@manzo7500 hahahaaaa,christianity?its a joke religion which promotes judiasim,israels are the chosen people?being jewish is not about race right?So i pressume it is pointless being christian,and every christian should go back to judiasim,and they are not violent?all the 3 original religions are the same,they are not violent but people make it seem this way.

[Avidcomp]

@MrOnevirus and then who would you blame? Blacks? Ginger headed people? women over 25? Trees? Basically everyone dead accept you and your mates.

Comments like yours, mean that you are full of self loathing. The responsibility is yours and you can't, or won't be happy. You want, need even, to hate. Pity you.

[wrldeye12]

"If Israel wants peace they must return the golan heights"????

so what caused Syrias attacks on Israel BEFORE the golan was captured???

Exactly, more Arab hatred for anything non-Muslim, especially Jewish.

[Metsada007]

Israel's brutal occupation and of Palestine and mistreatment of Palestinians, study the history of Zionism, don't be so ignorant.

[Metsada007]

If HEZBOLLAH was able to defeat the Israeli military, then surely Syria must be able to gain back the Golan as well? I suggest creating a Hezbollah type organization to attack the Israeli military relentlessy with guerilla tactics, and forcing them to leave the Golan, in the same way as they had to leave south Lebanon due to relentless Hezbollah attacks.

[landesal]

I don't think this would be a good idea. because then the US will invade Syria and say because of the extremists there. i have another idea that Syria will try to take the golan with negotiations without recognizing Israel. if that didn't work then i suggest a full scale war by the syrian army supported by the people.

[3azzuz08]

This syrian guy is a comedian! chrap one too!

He talks here about peace with syria!! Imagine! Peace with Israel while Syrian regime is not at peace with its nation! This stupid guy, calling himself ambassador, is known to be a liar, he is al-sahaf of Iraq!

I say get rid of the regime in Syria if you wanted peace in the area!!

[michaelfromsingapore]

The last few words by the syrian's ambassador is telling - the "vigorous lobbying " ...in washington..

Lets hope Obama's foreign policy team will have the moral will and guts to carry on the land for peace talks where Jimmy Carter and Clinton wanted to but was voted down or silenced .

[bluesbegedel]

Those refugees should return then. I heard they're facing discrimination especially in Lebanon

[TotalWarrior86]

Why make peace with Israel when they don't mean it. They said they wanted a nuclear free middle east but secretly built them, they stole land from an innocent ppl and continue to brutalise them for "Living space" and because they're "chosen" to live there; sounds familiar.

Free Palestine.

On another note the interviewer is drop dead gorgeous, middle eastern women are stunning.

[AgouraMo]

No one stole land from anybody. Palestine is free...its called Israel.

[bluesbegedel]

Why then many of Palestinians in Lebanon, Syria & Jordan are called 'refugees'?

[AgouraMo]

Because they are Syrian,Jordanian and Lebanese. During the 48' war, Nassar expecting total destruction of Israel taunted arab in Israel to leave or be considered "enemy". He promised them confiscated land from jews in return. When he lost these arabs became refugees. Those who refused became Israeli citizens. 20% of Israel is arab. Arabs hold political office and have more rights than arabs anywhere else in the middle east.

[AgouraMo]

Yea right, please...please give me my knife back and I won't try to stab you anymore. The knife is really important to me, my dad gave me that knife...please I promise not to stab you with it anymore. You have to give me that knife back first, before I promise not to stab you again.

[supermanpaki]

Looks like your dad fucked you in your ass.

[rhwest]

Good, worthwhile Video.Much apreciated.

[georgesm85]

fuck you all, you are fucken sick people who wrote in their own books that their imaginary god (who happen to be a real state agent) gave them a piece of land so they justify killing and looting...

jews, have serious problem thats why they can't fit wherever they go around the world and ever since the beginning of life, wherever they go people hate them and shit on them....maybe for a reason !

[AgouraMo]

Syria wants the Golan Heights back, like the burglar who loses his gun and demands you return it.

[emokidsstolemycar]

BAD analogy

[PauloGVieira]

You do realise that Israel kills more kids than Hamas.

As for Hezbollah and Iran you do realise that Iran is the cultural centre for Shi'a Muslims and that is exactly the sect that Hezbollah represents. Calling them puppets will be like calling most of Christian Europe puppets to the Vatican - its quite obvious that Hezbollah calls the shots.

[rulllar]

nice of Al Jazeera to not press the embassador and remind him of how syria's army snipered people in tveria and kibbutzim around the golan when Syria was there. Or how they use to regularly fire tank shells, without provocation, at Israeli cities because they knew they could get away with it.

He seems to forget why the golan was taken: Syria's invasion of Israel.

There are reasons why Israel fears giving the golan. Very justified reasons. Al Jazeera does a predictably poor job raising it.

[ComJudiaMurcia]

i dont understand why siria wants the jews of spain at the talks?

jewish community spain

la comunidad judua murcia españa

[levihello]

israel has nothing to lose in talks.its ability to walk away when the other doesnt colaborate is the tsahal. withit jews wud be at the mercy of others. you bargain wen the other knows you dont need to bargain

[PauloGVieira]

Imagine how sidelined Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran would be if they worked out a peace with Syria. Im certainly not pro-Israel but they are stupid to not pursue this stringently.

[cardieunion]

Israel shouldn't waste time making peace with barbarians.

[PauloGVieira]

Barbarians? Your silly little country would not even have been discovered were it not for Damascus and the Islamic Empire.

[aminlover9]

i say that this talk about GOLAN is waste of time....u make peace with talkin..remmerber the nazis...so give back their land and live with peace<<<which is immposible lol

[ma11ohad]

he did not talk about anything.

what about Hezbollah? what about Iran? what about terror? Syria need Israel and the USA Syria is isolated from the world and from the Arab ligue. it will be very hard to convince the israelites to give up the Golan . it will have to be action actions in Lebanon against Hezbollah. then I will give the Golan

[calpolyis]

That is why you start something called "negotiations". Syria has a lot of cards to offer in order to get the Golan Heights back. As far as isolations, I would have to say the U.S completed failed to isolate Syria from the world. Syria was able to find other channels to move forwards it is political and economical agenda.

[ma11ohad]

what cards? the Golan is a beautiful place but there is no one in Israel that would not want to give it back for a real peace. the problem with Syria is that its not up to then they are in big presser by Iran . fact is there is not big chance that Syria can change any thing. the world and the middle east knows first some changes need o happen in Iran I am all hope that this will lead to something but the past prove that the chances are very very low

[calpolyis]

You have to admit that Syria was forced to strengthen its relation with Iran because of the US polices towards Syria. The Syrian government knows it has to cut it is ties with Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas in order to get peace with Israel. However, do you think the Israeli prime minister can convince his people to make peace, and return the occupied land?

[ma11ohad]

yes!! 100%. just please talk about change and don't say that the issue is the occupied territories. the issue is terror and Hezbollah. the issue is that iran wants to start a war. is Syria going to be a part of it? Syria is not a religious country and Israelis have allot of respect to Syria. and allot of hope. we know that Syria is not Iran and it does not belong with them

[PauloGVieira]

You're stupid if you dont understand the strategic political, cultural and historical position of Syria in the Middle East.

[rhwest]

PauloGViera;

Stupid? Really? I'm incredulous.

And rather amused--at you.

The strategic,political AND cultural position

of Syria in the Middle East.

Now would this be the viewpoint of the knowledgeable Syrian, British, American or,

perhaps,Israeli individual?

OR--could we talk about the average unsophisticated American, who is only vaguely aware of Syria as a country and usually associates "Syrian" only with the word, "Hamster," if any association is made at all.

[PauloGVieira]

Well Israel seems to think so if they have been undertaking secret peace talks for the last year.

It does not take a genius to know that a peace deal with Syria is a huge blow for Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran and a huge plus for Lebanon's corrupt Western government. Where else can in the Middle East can you kill four birds with one stone?

Idiot.

[rhwest]

You seem to have a childish need to call other people names.Your own responses on this board indicate you have no special knowledge of the situation--just a lot of rubbish knee-jerk emotion. Very little intelligence on your part.Israel and Syria will reach a resolution in time. It's endgame.I woyld prefer to see the US butt out until they have an intelligent administration.

But you contribute nothing.

[PauloGVieira]

I see, my arguments are so stupid yet you fail to challenge a single one of my points. Go on, I dare you to pick apart one of my arguments and debate me on it.

It is you who contributes nothing but then again I am sure you are used to being such a waste of space.

[rhwest]

You cannot debate,fool.You are shouting,flaying,emotional excrement.You have no arguments--just random unsupported"factoids"you present without supporting facts.Assertions and insults. Assertions and insults.Get your head out of your filthy ass and at least ACT like a man.

Big mouth small brain. Insults. Free Assertions. You are a fucking child.

[PauloGVieira]

LOL! I would accuse you of sarcasm and irony in this post but you're American and such humour is outside your realm.

So tell me which of my facts are not supported? You are doing the exact same thing that you accuse me of.

[rhwest]

Sigh.

[PauloGVieira]

Bravo - another thrilling post old man!

[PauloGVieira]

Syria is isolated diplomatically but it taught itself long ago to be self-sufficient - they are under no pressing need. The Syrian position has never changed but rather Israel's own attitude to giving back the Golan has.

As for Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas Israel can kill three birds with one stone after a peace deal with Syria so its pretty stupid of you to argue its irrelevance.

[rhwest]

ma11ohad,

Try LISTENING. The man had quite a bit to say--just not on topics important to you.

[ma11ohad]

I am an Israeli if he is not talking on topics that important to me then to who else australian people?

are they trying to make peace with Israel? or with somebody else?

I don't know if you are being sarcastic or not

[nsane87]

This is the stuff that needs to be on American tv..

[cycimian]

Personaly if Iran And Syria And Jordan And Egypt Had the same Nuclear might of Isrial i would sleep better, Fuck Ziocons and this NWO

[Avidcomp]

@cycimian Their missiles will probably hit Isrial...where ever that is. And Ziocons sound scary, they must be from a different galaxy, I haven't heard of them.
