Is Israel on Georgia's side?Why are they helping them?
http://www.ynetnews.com/Ext/Comp/ArticleLayout/Cda...
And before anybody tells me that the Georgians are right in this , because big and powerful Russia is attacking poor little defenseless Georgia ,get your facts right.
Your BBC and CNN are stuffing such anti-Russian propoganda down everybody's throats! They're listening to the hypocritical words of Saakashvili and the Georgians , not letting South Ossetian victims say a word. They are showing videos of 'Russian aggression' , yet they fail to show what's going on in South Ossetia - the capital , along with other villages ,were literally WIPED OUT , dead bodies lying beneath ruins everywhere , women screaming , finding their children dead. CNN did NOT show Putin's visit to South Ossetia , and the stories the victims told him - like , an elderly woman was running with two young children , and a Georgian tank rode right over them!
Hospitals , schools , and universisites were bombed - the wounded are bing treated IN BASEMENTS! There are NO HOSPITALS.
And it's Russia , yes , the big bad Russia , that's already transported thousands of South Ossetian refugees. It's the Russians that are treating them in Russian hospitals. It's the Russians that are giving them food. The Russians are taking care of peaceful Georgians living in South Ossetia too!!
While Russians inside Georgia aren't even being let out of the country!
Saakashvili is saying his sh*t about how Russia has been planning to attack Georgia for months - huh?
Russia has every right to defend its citizens , no matter what country they're in. Russian peacekeepers ended up being attacked by their Georgian 'collegues' , on the South Ossetian /Georgian border!
Now the Russians are trying to make sure South Ossetian children will go to school in September.
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin criticized the United States for viewing Georgia as the victim, instead of the aggressor, and for airlifting Georgian troops back home from Iraq on Sunday.
"Of course, Saddam Hussein ought to have been hanged for destroying several Shiite villages," Putin said in Moscow. "And the incumbent Georgian leaders who razed 10 Ossetian villages at once, who ran elderly people and children with tanks, who burned civilian alive in their sheds — these leaders must be taken under protection."
Don't you think he has a point?
In 24 hours last friday , 2000 people were killed- a number of villages destroyed. Is that not genocide? How many victims do we need until we can call it genocide?
Right now , it's been confirmed that there are NO Russian troops in Georgia. But of course , your BBC won't show that. Because that would portray the Russians in a good light! No , the Western media would rather believe Saakashvili and his lies!
So... Why is everybody on Georgia's side? Because they're staunch US allies?
B.T. - *sighs*. Looks like you've been hypnotised by the CNN too :(
Okay , regarding Israel. I just saw on the news that several Israeli newspapers today have published reports about who exactly has been supplying weapons to Georgia. And from now on they'll only be selling them defensive equipment, not weapons for attacks.
But being backed up by the US , Israel cannot officially deny weapons to Georgia :/
Every time I see the news , they show what the media is saying around the world. Your US news are beyond explanations , of course , but surprisingly , a Spanish newspaper today has published the truth - Saakashvili violated the non-aggression pact of 1992 by attacking Georgia.
Guys , do you really think Russia invaded Georgia? Just like that?
Reeda- 'people dying and losing everything they ever had'. Yep , in South Ossetia.
What country are you in? Just wondering.
The volunteers went on the border , not inside Georgia! People , if you only knew. Yesterday when I switched on CNN I was in such shock because of all the propaganda , I started crying.
Albert Fish- what are you on about? South Ossetia has never been part of Georgia. YOU WISH.

from what I've been reading Israel seems to be on the side of Russia for one simple reason... they are afraid of consequences of irritating Russia and destabilizing the situation in that area. Because an angry Russia will just sell a lot of weapons to the Arab countries which means a big threat to Israel. Israel doesn't want to irritate Russia and the rest of the Middle East because it might cost them dearly...
PS I'm gonna be ecstatic when I see Russian tanks rolling through the streets of Tbilisi...

Listen up Russian propaganda douchebags.
South Ossetia has historically and to this day is Georgian land. Giving Georgians in South Ossetia Russian passports doesn't make them Russian citizens. No nation would tolerate such a violation of their territorial integrity. Look at how you Russian scum dealt with Chechnya when they tried to break away from you. Why should Georgia react any differently toward the South Ossetian traitors?
For over a year Russians and South Ossetians have been provoking Russia. Missiles were launched into Georgia. Russian planes violated Georgian airspace. South Ossetian scum fired on Georgian troops across the "border". What was Georgia to do?
The world will not be fooled by Russian lies and will not tolerate Russian agression and imperialism.

I wish it was so easy! You say that Russia has every right to protect their citizens, no matter what county they are in. Well, wait a minute. Could you first think how they got into all of these countries? How come there are so many Russians in my country? Alright, yes, this is past, and I try to live in a way that I just learn from it without having any anger. But if you like facts, then maybe you'd like to know that during the high times there were Every Day so many Russians crossing the boarder to come and live here that they could've filled a usual traveling bus.Just the civilians. They came here because it was better here than in their home land. And do you know what did the Russians say when they came? They said that they will make us free and the world just looked. Did nothing. They knew that we're gonna die, but well, who would want to have another war just because of some small countries somewhere in a place no one can really pronounce. So we got free and now every one of us has a relative in the past who was killed or deported.
Well, it's just past. I want to look into the future and be happy!
So next time... I couldn't imagine my life it the Russian Federation would decide to start to protect their people here. It isn't so easy!
In Russia they say also that there are no Russian troops there, they say that they are just VOLUNTEERS. It is the same, believe me. And they are soon taking the capital while we sit back and wait. Oh, for what?
Whoever is right in this matter, there are people dying and losing everything they ever had, so if we just turn our backs and whistle...

SOUTH OSSENTIA WANTED FREEDOM SINCE 1992.. DE FACTO FROM 1992. ( NO ONE LISTENED.) A)
SAAKASHVILIO VIOLATED THE PACT in 1992. AND ATTACKED GEORGIA
South Ossetia (Ossetic: Ð¥ÑÑÑÐ°Ñ ÐÑÑÑÑон, Khussar Iryston; Georgian: á¡ááá®á ááá áá¡ááá, Samkhreti Oseti; Russian: Ð®Ð¶Ð½Ð°Ñ ÐÑеÑиÑ, Yuzhnaya Osetiya) is a region in the South Caucasus, formerly the South Ossetian Autonomous Oblast within the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic. A part of it has been de facto independent from Georgia since it declared independence as the Republic of South Ossetia early in the 1990s during the Georgian-Ossetian conflict. The capital of the region is Tskhinvali.

NOT GEORGIA.. ( TO THE NAYSAYERS PLEASE READ AND GET FACTS.. NOT WHAT YOU HEAR.. READ.

Israel should definitely be on Ossentias side/ Rissia liberated them from the Nazis and Russia had the largest population of Jews in the World in Russia where they lived in freedom.( And Big Bad Russia ALLOWED THEM TO LEAVE) They left because they wanted to go to their homeland like all would. ( However there is still a large population Jewish population Russia) I don't understand why they are not Supporting Russia
Mr. Georgian.. Remember Stalin who seized power in Russia
was WHO .? A GEORGIAN..

Why would i be on Russia's side? I understand the situation of the south ossetians, but Russia is playing politics. It doesn't give a damn about them. It's called a Cassus Belli. You need a Cassus Belli to declare a war or everyone thinks your trying to conquer the world. Russia happens to be using the "we're protecting people" cassus belli. This is no different than the US invading Iraq, except the US has more democratic ideals and a slightly more fluffy air to it. Russia is just a bully, plain and simple.
