Israeli officials today sought to clarify Tuesday’s allegation of Syrian chemical weapons use does not mean that they are encouraging the US to attack Syria over the “red line” previously set by the Obama Administration.
Some officials had been suggesting that if the US failed to attack Syria after Israeli claim it could “embolden” Syria as well as Iran, who the US has also regularly threatened to attack, that those threats aren’t serious.
Strategic Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz insisted that was not the case, saying that they “never asked, nor did we encourage” any sort of US military action against Syria.
Steinitz went on to dismiss claims of a link to the threats to attack Iran, saying the long-standing threats to attack Iran are “a completely different matter” and that there is no linkage between that and Syria.
Nooo of course not. This wouldn't have anything to do with the greater israel of the backward religious fanatics or the 7 governments to topple of the neocon retards now would it. And the talk of the "red line" wasn't scripted by Bibi and his childish Boom cartoon. Because the israelis are all about peace and helping their US allies stay out of pointless wars…
And you believe this???

Let's not forget Israel already invaded Syrian airspace and bombed Syria this year (January 2013)…

What was the lame-stream rationale provided justifying Israel's bombing of Syria this very year (January 2013)? Hezbollah? Are Hezbollah and Iran linked in any way in the 'minds' of Israeli pundits and military officials?
I find it interesting that if Obama, or the Obama Administration in general, made 'misstatement of fact' (aka lie) after 'misstatement of fact' concerning an issue as boring and technical as…let's say…Medicare Part D, the lame-stream would be doing back-flips; however, when it comes to this charade of the 'Syria issue'; the Obama Administration, along with so-called "allies", can make all sorts of absurd and illogical claims; such as:
—"Assad fired missiles at the Aleppo University refugee facility the Syrian government is running for no apparent reason other than to kill residents the Syrian government is housing"
…or …
—"Assad ordered 'limited use' of WMDs, jeopardizing–at the very least–the political support of Russia, China, and Iran–for seemingly insignificant and/or irrelevant 'gains'"
…all this crap can be claimed…and it all can apparently be seriously 'believed' as 'likely' to have happened in 'reality'…or even "plausible" for that matter…even by Glaser and Ditz at so-called "Antiwar.com"…as if Assad and the 'Assad regime' are some sort of sadistic, irrational, retards…yet still somehow able to survive all of this…
This is complete unreality….
As usual is another lie by Israel.., for last 60 years USA and EU governments, of most every kind, have started a war, or planed a war, made cop de Etta to keep Israel and other dictatorial regimes in tact for their own interested.., Look: USA or EU have no friend in Middle East nor they are looking to have any friends.., what they have is enough of tyrants, dictatorial and apartheids regimes doing USA and EU a favor making sure that as long as these regimes are in power no democracy would come to Middle East, making sure in both political and economics terms for USA and EU to follow through their demands in starting wars of all kind to keep these regimes alife.., latest is the Syrian proxy war, the turmoil in Iraq made possible by Sunnies from Turkey and Saudi Arabia., before that Libya which is about Africa.., and Saudis, Halliburton, Dick Cheney, the IMF and other investment in peoples natural resorces is about stealing more of people's wealth while the west promotes the sectarian wars by feeding these tyrants, safeguarding a apartheid regime, making all kind of human abuses and war crimes yet they calling themselves democracy…, Look: there is no such thing as democracy, nor human rights exist nor any longer practiced by the western political elite.., this is a Neo fascism started when Paul Wolfowitz ordered Bill Clinton to start the Balkan war where Madeline Albright planed the invasion.., in 2011 you had Hillary Clinton.., same people different names.., get it.
Eyes on the ball sheeple. It's IRAN! IRAN!!!!
Syria may be looking volcanic but the real explosion needs to happen in IRAN!
Please don't make us repeat myself. I heart Iranians, bomb Teheran!
Just wise up, OK?
Israel is just trying to desensitize the world – every word out of their mouths is a lie – the whole country is like Bibi now
Israel should patent the term 'red line' – made ridiculous by Bibi at the UN and now the only term the US uses
Maybe it is the truth. Don't you think that Israel would prefer having a weak but still in power Syrian central government to kick around rather than the Al Quieda and perhaps Hezbollah rebels in power? Seems to me it is easier to start another war with a strawman Syria dictator than a bunch of rebels who all hate you and you cannot get a quick truce with after you clobber them and knock out their infrastructure.
I do not find Israel's denial credible. They simply don't want to be blamed for the mess they are trying to get us into. Listen to what America's enormous chorus of pro-Israel pundits are saying on cable news. They are obviously trying to get the US to attack Syria. Does anybody believe that these people would be urging us in this direction if Netanyahu's government were opposed to US intervention in Syria?
Translation: "We're not encouraging them, but we're not not encouraging them either."
Israelis lie constantly; but the end game changes all the time. I, now more than ever belive that the
ZOINIST entity is getting very afraid!! Don't worry they know that almost the whole world despises
them; they are surounded by enemies of all stripes. No more POOR ISRAEL! They cannot calculate any more about outcomes in the MIDDLE EAST! They are scared, this could be their ARMAGEDDON!
Since Israel always lies, this means they DID intend the US to attack Syria.
Duh…. Of course they did. You'd have to be brain dead not to realize that. Unfortunately most wannabe "pundits" are brain dead.
