    And what gives you the right to do so? Are you in a declared war with Iran?
    I know that you 2 hate each other, sure, but that you are in Status of war what makes you allowed to bomb them is new for me!

    Islamic chaos is not something to build on long term relations as a neighbor and we can attack Assad anyway, you are suggesting Israel wants to conquer Syria by establishing chaos there ?

    Israel's attack on the T4 base is an act of war, which would justify a response in kind. Of course, to deter and limit that response, the Israelis have threatened to go after Assad personally in case Iran retaliates for the attack. Which means if Iran does retaliate from Syrian territory, we will end up seeing a real war as going after Assad isn't the same as lobbing some missiles here and there mostly to say we are doing something.

    So should we then grow attached to radical sunni muslims like isis or other radicals? For that is the future of syria? Hmm, assad or radical sunnis? Which to choose, which to choose...

    I think I would go with assad. He has not attacked the west as the sunnis have. Yes, he is a much less enemy to the security of europe and the US. Who woulda thunk it? ha ha

    Its not your or my choice to make, my bet is Assad wont die of old age, too many around him wants him dead and that wont go away regardless of powers understandings.
    I don't see how your choice makes a difference on what I said

    You read me right.

    That's what you did with Hamas. You propped up Hamas to fight PLO. You associated Palestinian resistance with hardore Islamism, therefore when oppress Palestinians you pretend that you are oppressing Islamist terrorists. Given your precedents, I think it is rational to think that it is indeed Israel's intention as far as Syria, then Lebanon, then Iran is concerned.

    So Syria was too peaceful in the past 10 years for us to engage there, in what scenario does Russia disappear or the 100 million Muslims there - for us to take over Syria and the rest of the world in your educated theory ?

    It should be our choice to leave syria the hell alone. But of course, it isn't. Not like our gov't represents us, according to Princeton..on anything. If one is just an average american.

    I doubt he will die of old age either. The enemies of peace won't stand for it. And they don't like anything resembling a gov't which allow non muslims to worship their God. We love theocracies, evidenced by our actions in the middle east. Unless you are Iran of course.

    Yes - Syria was too peaceful to justify Israeli interventions in Syria, after annexing the Golan Heights. Besides, Syria squat Greater Israel's land, doesn't it?

    But not an American, Turkish, Lebanese, Iranian, Russian and let's not forget the Kurd's - interventions ?
    Take a rest your theory doesn't stick with the evidence, if Israel wanted it would have jumped in as soon as the UN picked up and left that area.
    I don't follow all the propaganda on "greater Israel", was nice to see you offer us a part of Turkey as well, probably the best thing in all that desert map.

    Assassin? Is that what all rulers of nations are called when they fight to stop a civil war? SO, the North in the US were also assassins. Got it. Yet having family that fought on the side of the South, I would not call them that. No more than I would call assad fighting to save his nation, an assassin. It would be indulging in propaganda to do that, as you are doing.

    I meant a Syrian that will one day kill Assad, I would'nt call Assad an assassin, that's like calling Hitler a thug.

    Ha ha ha, no. Israel isn't as strong as you project it. Your guys would probably take an even more solid beating from Hizbollah now that they are more battle-hardened than last time, while all you ever faced for decades were unarmed, impoverished mobs. When fighting the weak for too long one becomes weak himself.

    Israel barely won the 1973 war vs Egypt, because said war was stopped. It was at the end of its ressources. Besides, there's Russia behind Assad, behind Iran and behind Hizbollah. Your only ally is two oceans away, and he's rather stretched thin these days. The badly grafted finger can't reject the whole host and succeed.

    I really wonder about the education you guys are getting in Israel.

    Sorry, I misinterpreted your post. Easy to do when just reading something.

    I agree with you on this. A distinct possibility. I am surprised he has lasted as long, given that part of the world. People willing to blow themselves up for God. I say, let God blow himself up if he wants to kill the non sunnis. And good riddance.

    You first said that Israel goal is to conquer Syria as part of its plan to conquer Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq and I guess that part in Turkey will not make much of a fuss after all this, then you say Israel is too weak to even fight Lebanon, so what's your theory again ?

    You are using your Yankee bitch, and the Islamists, to do it instead.

    Israel is perfectly aware that if it marches into, say, Syria, it will lose the tip-of-the-lips support from everyone but the US. Even the Sauds will be forced to disagree.

    But, with a coalition led by the US to do the dirty work, toppling secular regimes and setting up chaos and division, Eretz Yisrael will eventually be ripe for the taking.
