Tensions continue to rise along the Golan Heights frontier, as Israeli warplanes continued to carried out airstrikes against Syrian soil over the weekend, killing a commander in a pro-Syrian militia, and issuing statements warning Syria not to resist the strikes in the future.
Israel responded with shock after Friday’s attacks against Syria saw the Syrian government fire anti-aircraft missiles against the attacking warplanes. Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman has warned that if Syria attempts to fire on any attacking airplanes in the future Israel will destroy their air defense systems “without the slightest hesitation.”
Throughout the six years of Syria’s war, Israel has launched regular attacks against Syrian military targets, and this is the first time Syria has tried to chase Israeli warplanes out of their airspace. They succeeded, though Israel touted their use of an anti-missile system to shoot down one of the anti-aircraft missiles.
Israeli officials claim the Friday attack targeted a weapons transfer to Hezbollah, but offered no details on what they were doing with today’s attack, beyond continuing to escalate the situation. Russia summoned Israel’s Ambassador on Friday to seek an explanation, which is similarly unprecedented during the war, as Israel has previously been said to keep Russia appraised of its operations along the border, aiming to prevent the deployment of Russia’s air defense against them.
Israel is playing with fire. Neocons are clearly afraid for their grip on piwer, so it is now Israel’s turn to stir up the trouble. Israel dhould have accepted Trump’s offer, and get one state. Missed the chance.
You have to wonder what kind of “Spirit Cooking” or “PizzaGate” extortion evidence they have on Senators Graham & McQaeda
What offer?
I am laughing at this preposterous statement from the warmonger Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman saying Syria better not attack them when Israel bombs Syria or else. This is Alice in Wonderland. Could you imagine if another nation was attacking us and then tell us that if we shoot down their planes in our airspace, they will obliterate our air defense systems. Wow, what balls. I say to Syria light them up. Turn on all air defense systems and prepare retaliation into Israel. Also, give Russia permission to shoot them down as well.
“Also, give Russia permission to shoot them down as well.”
if any of that happened the permission would be the other way.
I recently watched Top Gun again, mostly a music video applauding US air superiority. Two military engagements are discussed, one by the hero main character and one by his father. Both involved US fighters willfully operating within foreign airspace. The sovereignty of others barely registers as notable for those serving the department of offense.
The USA and Israel tell the world what is kosher and what isn’t while committing the same crimes that they warn others not to do! This is called hypocrisy. I love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning!
I thought vise president Dick Cheney said stand down on 911 when he was told the planes were getting closer and closer.
Israel knows it can get away with these attacks. If Syria did respond and succeeded in shooting down an IAF aircraft that would be the end of Assad and the beginning of WW3. This is so obviously part of the West’s grand scheme to remove Assad, divide up Syria and Iraq into smaller ‘vassal’ states that would be easier to control.
After failing once in drawing up borders for the Middle East we’re trying again. However, this time the results will be much more disastrous.
The US will not start WWII to protect zionist bribe sources.
This is a really great opportunity to put Israel where it
belongs without hope of reprisal. Russia can simply move “advisors” wherever Israel wants to strike, plus vastly superior SAMs and fighters and theatre nuclear forces on high alert. Let Israel hit some Russia forces, say by air, and then take out every plane and the airbase they came from. Let Israel respond, and take out some critical Israeli nuclear bases with theatre nukes. All in an hour, with a “Please call later” message on the DC-Moscow hotline.
Then let Trump posture with defensive bristling, let Putin modestly
note that Washington would do the same thing if attacked by Cuba, and see who really wants a US-Russia war.
Israel probably would not launch an escalating nuclear attack on some Russian facilities, but if so, what better opportunity to obliterate all of Israel’s military capabilities and occupy Palestine? This would solve so many problems. Putin would be very popular in the US as well as the Arab world.
The U.S. is a vassal state of the Anglo-Zionist machine, it will do the bidding of its masters, and go to war against Russia over “Israel”.
What is the Anglo-Zionist machine?
It cannot be coincidence that the 7 nations that US General & former NATO Commander Wesley Clark was told were to be bombed or invaded by the US because of the false flag attack on 9/11, after 9/11, that Iraq, Libya, and secular Syria were on that Zio-Masonic hit list
RT, quoting the Russia’s defense ministry, Oct 2016: “any missile or air strikes on the territory controlled by the Syrian government will create a clear threat to Russian servicemen.”
Big talk, no action.
“action” ? You want Russia and Syria to go to war against Israel and its allies ? We have not crossed the precipice yet. Putin is wise. If you want to fight, go join the Syrian army.
“Russian Parliament Calls for Inquiry Into US Media Outlets” ?
The Russian Parliament needs to call an inquiry into “Israel Continues to Attack Syria, Warns Syria”…
There is a nation that routinely influences and controls US elections, and that nation is the Zio-Masonic state of Israel
Masonic?
Yes Zionism is Masonic and is anti-Torah
Evidence that Zionism is Masonic?
Well you know first off that Zionism is a political movement and is a violation of the Torah, right?
Since the Masonic state of Israel never attacks the fake ISIS or Al-Qaeada terrorists, who we were told did 9/11, makes one question the official “story” of 9/11, and the dancing Israeli’s, and the mysterious “Art Students” which was buried by the lying MSM
Israel is thankful that most Americans have the attention span and awareness of a dried-up palm tree!
Very true, and I have always wondered who set up the Evangelical movement to get the dumb Christians to support the anti-Torah Zio-Masonic state of Israel. Keep in mind they are still looking for the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel.
The Evangelical Movement started in the 18th century.
The State of Israel declared independence in the 20th century.
Ty, and was planned in the 19th when they almost chose Madagascar and another place. They are still looking for the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. William Cooper came to the conclusion that these satanic Globalists are using revelations as a script, or the bible is real.
Trump promised an end to “regime-change” capers. Instead, he doubles down in Syria and brings Israel on board. Russia should take down some Israeli jets.
Do you want Russia to take down some American jets, too, because the US is also bombing Syria, much, much more than Israel is?
US should not do it and it should not differentiate if it decides to do it .US should attack Israel also .
Maybe we will find out what side we’re on
I don’t think that anti-aircraft missiles were shot against Israeli jets, there were some kind of missiles shot into Israel and they were intercepted in Jordan and fill in Jordan
From all what i can read so far it would seem a certain country / state needs a bit of a bloody nose to bring it back to reality.
I didn’t expect war mongering on a site called “antiwar.com”
Why not? You seem to bring a little bit of it here yourself.
The USA has been bombing Syria.
Do you want the USA to get a bloody nose?
I would prefer that the US learn some manners WITHOUT getting any more bloody noses. But I doubt that’s going to happen.
Trump, like all previous presidents, has the opportunity to LEARN SOMETHING from the next bloody nose instead of using it as an excuse to keep doing more of the same thing and expecting different results. Will he seize that opportunity? I doubt it. But I hope so.
I hate to say this because I hate war of any kind but Israel needs a reality check and, once again, Putin is the only one who can deliver it.
Israel started killing and expelling Arab inside Israel , more aggressively from 1947 and started Nazi like displacement from 1948 giving rise to pushback from Arab that resulted in Israel military atracks on its own Arab population
Mufti was not there in 1947
Wars of aggression are war crimes, and the state of Israel is hip deep in war crimes. What Israel has really been doing is been serving as ISIS’s Air Force.
