Israel takes a position on Syria
Reuters:
In separate remarks breaking with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s public fence-straddling about the civil war next door, the Israeli ambassador to Washington said on Tuesday that Israel"always wanted Bashar Assad to go", in order to break up Syria’s alliance with Iran and Lebanese Hezbollah guerrillas.
The envoy, Michael Oren, did not say if or how Israel was promoting Assad’s ouster.
So, several days after John Kerry makes it obvious that he regards the policy of regime change in Syria DEAD, and is engaging in negotiations over an impossible to verify accounting and then destruction of chemical weapons Assad owns, the Netanyahu govt says they regard as Assad+Khamenei as worse than Al Nusra+Al Qaeda.
Well, while one might make such an argument academically, we should ALL be remembering that in 1987 Israel ACTIVELY PROMOTED a social and charity organization making inroads among the people in the West Bank and Gaza against the PLO.
HAMAS.
The former policy of saying NOTHING about Syria, is a far better option for ANY Israeli govt.
The middle east is a snake pit outside of the one democracy there, and the USA is best off offering it’s support and alliance there WHEN ASKED FOR, and depending upon it, when we ask for it, rather than engaging in actions which embroil us in half committed ways, opposed by so many of our own people.
No one should doubt that if there were ANY remedial action Israel saw in Syria which it could take which would certainly be taken at cost, WE WOULD HAVE READ ABOUT IT as an historical event.
That no such action or deed has occurred tell us all we need to know about the WORDS being exchanged.
