You'll never be able to convince me that Israel is responsible for all the hate and suffering in the region.

Maybe you don't understand because you failed to read the link I provided on Greater Israel. Context is everything. Maybe the following might help to stimulate your thought-process:
According to Ergün Poyraz, in his book The Children of Moses, the Erdogan family has Jewish roots, and the American Jewish Congress gave Erdogan a 'profiles of courage award'.
Amazing how many world leaders are suddenly accidentally discovering their Jewish roots and coming out of the closet isn't it?

According to the date on that article, Last updated at 12:01AM, January 30 2014, we are not talking about the same event. In light of that, you might want to lose the sarcasm, just makes you look foolish....edit on 26-3-2014 by D377MC because: correction

It isn't a civil war either.... it's a war between the Syrian people and foreign-funded mercenaries fighting alongside Islamic terrorists.edit on 26-3-2014 by D377MC because: spelling

The responsibility for what is happening in Syria lies squarely with Israel, the US and Saudi Arabia who have funded, trained and armed mercenaries and Islamic terrorist groups with a view to dividing the country into separate warring factions.
Nothing new really, we have seen it before in Libya and are witnessing the exact same events in Ukraine as we speak. The moment the terrorist groups are activated, the Western propaganda machine led by the BBC, Fox News and the likes start beating the drums and accusing Assad of the heinous actions they themselves are sponsoring.
Fracturing society along sectarian lines is a well-known, well-proven and well-documented strategy of Western intelligence agencies.
So what you are saying is that the Syrian regime was fine and dandy till western intelligence agencies stepped in and engineered a civil war of some sort . Truth is not this clear cut . No smoke without a fire and no civil war without an oppressed locals . Be it Ukraine , be it Libya or be it Syria . I will however give you this much , you seem to get how intelligence agencies work in dark . Note that is ALL intelligence agencies not just the Western ones .
Need I give the examples of Syrian Intelligence activities in Anatolia & Mesopotamia ?
You can sit there all you like and arrogantly state nonsense like "Assad is killing his own people", but the fact of the matter is Syrian people disagree with you. You will have to admit that it does seem rather foolish to accuse one party of harming another when the party that is supposed to be harmed is adamant in their support for whomever you are accusing. It stands to reason they have a much better idea of what is going on than you do, and I stress the 'much'.
This is not opinion, it is fact.
My stand is not arrogant but confident ; it is easy to confuse the two . I am currently in Istanbul and just today I have spoken to several Syrian families of refugees . They didn't sound like Assad supporters at all . I do have cousins who still live in Syria and yes they do publicly support Assad because if they didn't their lives would come to a swift end . Same cousins also detest Al-CIA-DUUH too . Point is this ; Syrian people could do without Assad and without extremist idiots .
Unfortunately Assad has missed the chance of transforming Syria into a proper democracy and that is an undisputable fact .
On the one hand we have mass rallies in favour of Assad and the army, on the other barbaric Islamic terrorists filmed in front of decapitated heads screaming 'allahu akbar', and casually spraying ak 57 rounds around.
Two wrongs don't make a single right at all . Assad and his forces are as barbaric as those idiotic terrorists . What Syria needs it neither of them in power .
On the one hand we have hundreds of youtube videos where the Syrian population testify to the 'opposition' being non-Syrians and pledge their support to the army, on the other we have doctored BBC news reports where the protesters are running around with English protest signs. (they must have figured you would have a hard time with Arabic).
Syrian population have been indoctrinated by the regime and they know very well what would happened to them if they didn't show support for current regime . You are still arguing as if Assad had a legit regime to begin with . He wasn't choosen by Syrian people but appointed by a minority .
A simple fact that you seem to miss altogether .
On the one hand we have the truth, as relayed to us by the victims, on the other we have vile propaganda relayed to us by posters like yourself, and your acolytes who rush to star you before you have even finished posting.
Vile propaganda it ain't I can assure you . I just know what Assad regime does to anyone who dares speak against them within Syria .
I'll tell you what, you can come along and post your garbage - in fact you are welcome to. The Truth is out. Recent years have seen an unprecedented awakening and you are losing the information war.
Media lies are being exposed, and the naked truth is being shown.
Whatever you may say about the Media is not going to change the fact that Assad and his father have blood of Syrians in their hands . The truth is that the Syrian people also deserve a democracy of some sort or at least a benevolent leader who doesn't kill off anyone who might be a threat to his regime .
As for the second point, you state that I am presenting a 'peachy view of Assad's reign'.
Firstly, that is nonsense, and you are absolutely unable to support that empty statement by quoting anything I said, for a very simple reason - I never did. The fact is, with regards to Assad, the situation is multi-faceted and rather more complex. So far, I have only stated the obvious...the Syrian people support him because they know that the so-called opposition are none other than Western sponsored terrorists and that positions such as the one you are trying to defend in your post are nothing but empty lies.
Somewhat the Assad regime escapes your world view as a main responsible party in all these killings . Assad could of transform the country peacefully via given Syrians equal rights . He has failed to do so and now whole of Syria is paying the price . You keep talking about western sponsored terrorists yet fail to acknowledge the role the Ba'ath party and Assad regime plays in this saga .
My posts might not support Assad but at least I don't ignore the terrorists and mercenaries role .
As for myself, I don't quite agree with the Syrian people either, but that is a matter for another thread.
open another thread and let's hear it .
Finally, as to what I expect the Turkish people to do..exactly what they are doing, which is rioting, protesting against Turkey's stance in this crisis and showing quite clearly they know what is going on even if you don't.
It might surprise you to know that Turkish People believe allegations that Syrian Government used chemicals are completely baseless and that the terrorists in Syria used chemicals against the civilians.
Try this website for various examples of exactly what the Turkish people believe, rather than presuming that CNN and BBC know better.

I'd hate to be in position you are in, which is that of arrogantly stating the exact opposite of the peoples whom you pretend to be concerned about.
I am in Istanbul and I can see everyday a Syrian refugee family or two on the streets of Istanbul . I actually give money to them everyday . As for what Turkish people believe ; yes some Turks detest what is been done in their name and some Turks support Syrian opposition . This is expected because some Turks are Sunni and some are Shia . Therefore opinions vary according to which sect these Turks belong to . You do realise that lots of Turks with Arab ethnicity exists and they are spearheading the help for FSA . Similary , there are lots of Turks with Persian ethnicity and they are opposing FSA . In an old Afghan proverb ; Tiger is sitting above me while river is flowing beneath me .
Find yourself another excuse to support military action in the middle-east, because none of what you have come up with so far is worth a cent.
Shia forces will not be allowed to dominate the entire southern border of Turkish Republic . Any further attempt by Iran to engineer such a situation will be met with uprising of Turks in Iran and Iran can kiss Tabriz goodbye .

I am well aware of the history of the region. Israel has a right to exist and to defend itself as a nation and the same is true for any other country in the region. The last 50 years are no different then the last 2000 years of history for the region. I don't believe that Turkey is trying to provoke a war with Syria and the same can be said for the U.S.,Israel, and NATO.

Not Israel, the Zionist movement.
You know, those who pretend to be Jews but aren't really, who control the banking system and the media, and think of all other peoples as insects, not worthy to exist.
They are responsible. And the day is coming when they will be called to account for the blood they are spilling.
It may seem hard for you to believe, but Jews and Arabs have coexisted peacefully for ages, and to a certain extent, still do.
Until, of course, the modern state of Israel was created. And yes, that is exactly where all the strife in the middle-east comes from, and to a great extent, most of the world's problems too. It is only fair to speculate that if you were to remove interest on debt and outlaw usury, then everyone would be much, much better off. And, in the same vein, that if those farming a land and living on it were not massacred and evicted because apparently God gave it to someone else, then we wouldn't have so much animosity towards impostors posing as victims.
Look at that map of greater Israel, then look at the last 50 years in the history of the middle-east and tell me, what do you see?

Well, there we are, a short video providing further support for two points made in this thread:
a. Turkish tanks were involved in the fighting in Syrian territory
b. Not much of a civil war when the opposition are Islamo-fascists operating under the protection of Turkey's military.
