Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel is treating yesterday’s Israeli military claim of “repeated” Syrian military chemical weapons use with serious skepticism, noting the complete lack of actual evidence for the allegation.
“Suspicions are one thing, evidence is another,” Hagel noted in comments to reporters about the matter. The red flag to Hagel is that he was just in Israel talking with Israeli military officials and they didn’t mention anything of the sort to him, and less than 24 hours later a Brigadier General is presenting it as confirmed fact.
Israeli officials are now claiming that they have “proof” to back up the allegations, but they haven’t shown it to anyone and aren’t showing it to anyone, and Benjamin Netanyahu declined to confirm anything to Secretary of State John Kerry when pressed.
The sudden revelation is fueling speculation as to why Israel is suddenly coming up with this allegation, why they won’t provide the evidence they claim to have, and most importantly what the endgame is. There is speculation in the Israeli press that going public is aimed at pressing the US into a war, but with the US openly backing Islamist rebels in Syria it seems like that intervention could quickly backfire on Israel.
Well Ditz, I believe Iran too mentioned this 'issue' in passing:

So Ditz…what do you 'think' of your fake 'freedom'/"humanitarian' war now…now that the 'conspiracy' has been clearly exposed, and the 'conspirators' have been irrefutably 'unmasked'???

P.S. Brahimi MUST GO!!!
When was the last time that such government.., an apartheid regime.., have said anything truthfully and presented a document or even a photo to prove what they are saying…, the regimes involved in Syrian war.., or for those (Israel) Saudi Arabia, the Qatari, the Turkish, the Jordanians who sees their regimes are about to fall the Syrian war has become a nightmare.., so as those who are supported by these regimes living comfortably in turkey or Qatar and are paid by the Saudis, the Wahhabis and other illegitimate representative of the Syrian people. Stop the political BS.., it is time for peace in Syria and Middle East.
I tell you exactly when the last time was – Netanyahu standing up in front of the United Nations and presenting "proof" in the form of a cartoon of a bomb with a fuse burning! This "evidence" was supposed to get the US on board for an attack on Iran. Israel keeps threatening to attack Iran unilaterally, but so far, it's been all bluster because they clearly want the US to fight this war for them with OUR blood and treasure. The sooner we dump this "ally" the better for the US.
Israel is baiting the US to go to war that at some point they are going to use extreme measures to achive their goal.
Exactly. Israel has been trying to get us to attack Syria from the get- go. Now they're getting desperate.
by way of deception we shall force others to war….
zionists war cry
Sooner or later the American fish will bite the bait… and then will be hooked (or hoodwinked) into going into another war.
According to news coming out of Hagel visiting Persian gulf where he says: " Syrian government might have used chemical gas against Syrian rebel".., at the same time there are several other unconfirmed to a point of lies regarding use of chemical by the Syrian army…, but the main point of all that saying.., the lies confirmed or not.., is this.., the Syrian war is lost.., everyone knows it.., even Hillary Clinton knows this fact.., but there are those who try to hide the lies and those whom by all means try to get the us militarism and nato involved in this war.., at the same time there are those who wants to avoid this war.., knowing that getting involved is in fact no point of return but Third World War..,
