Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has released his first significant statement of the ongoing Syrian civil war in over a year, addressing the “appalling” deaths in the town of Houla, where at least 108 were killed Friday.
But while most of the comments from the international community were self-serving attempts to condemn either the Assad regime or the rebels, Netanyahu appears chiefly interested in making things about Iran, so in his statement he condemned Iran and Hezbollah for the massacre, saying that the “world needs to take action” against Iran for the deaths.
Iran’s role in the Syria conflict is, naturally, fairly minimal. The regime has sold some weapons to Syria, but the nation’s military is mostly armed by deals with Russia, which is still shipping weapons to them. The rebels, by contrast, have been armed mostly by the GCC, with the US helping to smuggle the arms into the nation.
Israeli DM Ehud Barak’s comments likewise referenced Iran, but centered around calls for the world to invade Syria, saying that they were obligated to do so.
“Netanyahu Blames Iran for Syria Deaths”
The headline was so funny I couldn’t stop laughing. It’s a sure bet that if the sun does not shine tomorrow this idiot would blame it on Iran, causing the subservient US Congress to put more sanction on Iran. I’m still laughing.
What a clown.
If he's saying that it can only mean that israel is supporting the murderous terrorists in Syria.
I do not understand why antiwar is distributing such an obvious nonsense.
While most important links I did post to antiwar – sometimes tow per day have been suppressed/ignored.
E.g. yesterday this one:
Obama secretly approves top-of-the-line anti-tank arms for Syrian rebels:

Why is this censored here?
Because Antiwar isnt nearly as anti-war as their brand may infer.
It's not nice to lie, James.
Debka: "favorite alarmist Israeli website trading in rumors."
Wait- he's saying HEZBOLLAH did this? Bibi's claims are getting more desperate each day- how can the world be sure he isn't dangerously insane?
Is there no limit to that man´s cheap gossip? What a creep!
John, I believe it is obvious to most people in the world that Netanyahu is dangerously insane.
Unfortunately, there is a large segment of our population that believes every utterance from Bibi….the mainstream press is quick to quote him at every opportunity….
The fact is that he was ELECTED in the only democracy in the middle east. This means that we have to make all israeli responsible for his words and actions which should give you people in the rest of the world a taste of these people's min set, they are mostly more insane than he is, just check their message boards and the comments they leave.
It is really funny how people in Iraq and Afghanistan and probably more countries suffer although they had nothing to do with their leaders actions while these people in Israhell are really collectively responsible for the deeds of their leaders but walk free.
No, no, no my friend. The ' right-wing ' is responsible, not Israel.
bibi the evil clown wants the US to do his killing for him.
