Israeli officials and other diplomats familiar with the situation are finally detailing the circumstances regarding the lead-up to the southern Syrian ceasefire agreement reached between the US and Russia, revealing secret talks were held in Amman and in an unnamed European capital city about the plan beforehand.
Israeli officials were involved in the talks, and unsurprising given their public position since the ceasefire was announced, made clear they were unconditionally opposed to the ceasefire agreement, and objected to the creation of safe zones to limit combat in the areas.
The reason for Israel’s opposition to the ceasefire similarly appears to have been exactly what they’ve complained about since, that the believe any calm in Syria necessarily benefits Iran, and that anything that might conceivably move toward ending the Syria War must hand Iran some sort of specific defeat.
It is this Iran-centric view of the Syrian conflict, despite Iran having a fairly limited involvement in it, which has led Israeli military officials to say they don’t want ISIS to lose in Syria, and since the ceasefire’s announcement that they are prepared to join the conflict simply to ensure that Iran, by which they mean the Shi’ite government, doesn’t win.
That’s the problem. Getting isreal involved in any negotiation among reasonable people.
Israel has been supplying Medical services to Al Qaeda based groups like Al Nusra Front the Parent group of ISIS since the beginning of this conflict, and giving direct support to Terrorists!
At the core of all this Middle East lunacy, it boils down to one thing always – is it good for Israel?
The US military will have to try harder in the upcoming war against Iran to please our suzerain. It’s the only way to wage war get someone else to do it, spend not a shekel lose not a drop of blood.
Those Syrian “rebels” turned coat and went back to fighting for their homeland Syria when they became aware that Israel coordinated with their groups. Will soldiers and “terrorists” in other parts of the world eventually do the same thing? How long can a war-antagonist get away with doing just that- antagonizing fir divisive wars? Is that blood money from the Zionists worth it to help destroy your homelands? Anyone who fights for a foreign nation against his own should be treated as the most vile of traitors!
Can we please pull the plug on this obnoxious and dangerous welfare queen?
Echoing the other commenters and repeating: the world needs to excise the cancer on humanity known as Israel. We Americans need to elect representatives that are not owned by the Israeli lobby, and cut Israel off at the knees.
If Israel wants to have any credentials to speak on the situation in Syria, it had better get some skin in the game. Right now, Israel is worth less than a sullen, rented cheerleader on the sidelines.
So much for all the professed undying friendship and love between our countries.
We are fighting to eliminate ISIS, Israel is fighting to support ISIS, and to keep it alive, until Israel will start some other chaos to keep the Middle East pot boiling. We already can see the efforts to use the Lebanese Prime Minister — a French playboy Hariri, to stir things up in Lebanon. But he is isolated — Shia in Lebanon control Parliament, Christian retired general, is President. Both support Syrian government, both support Russia, Turkey snd Iran in forging safe zones — with former militants running local government, police and organizing distribution od aid to population. In turn, they recognize Syrian Army and government. They get funding for local governments from Damascus. Even though everything is possible when it comes to Israel, I do not see Lebanese of all faiths falling for incitement.
If Israel and Saudi Arabia — and a host of others– are supporting ISIS, how on earth can we give them our weapons and funding? Is not Israel satisfied with Shia blood of innocents in Yemen?
Whether US has a problem with Iran deal — that is one thing. But caving in to the depraved description of Iran as some radical islamic hegemon — defies sanity. Kissinger has just come out describing the dangers of ISIS loss, as strenghtening the Iranian radical empire! Speaking as a true Zionist, not caring for American wellbeing. And how is it being “radical” when women in Iran are well integrated, particularly in urban areas. Did not the newly redlected president just appoint two women to his vice-presidential positions? And in our friendly Saudi Arabia — they cannot even drive? Are not Iranian women pilots in Iranian air force? Part of police forces — for a long time now. Are women not professors at universities, high level bureaucrats in government, doctors, engineers? Why are we participating in Saudi-Israeli hate of Shia religion? Why sre we supporting Saudi claims that only Mecca defines what is Islam? That would be akin to condemning all Protestants, as only Christianity can be defined in Vatican.
What our increasingly mad elite does not understand — today’s population around the globe is getting independently informed, and is capable to sift through a lots of information, desinformation, spins, lies of commision and omission. Eventually picture emerges, and owning Washington Post, NY Times, BBC or CNN — will not mean much. Reuters can spin and spin — in vain. A picture of the world has emerged in which liers, warmingers and scum of every variety can only preach to their own kind. Their vampiric instincts for more blood to maintain their power — can only increase our contempt. Rulers always rule by the consent of the ruled. And no matter how mighty they look, once nobody believes, their power is gone.
Israel wants to fight Iran down to the last American. They remind me of one of Brick Top’s lines from the movie Snatch:
