The number of times Israel attacks Syrian territory in a given month make an individual incident normally unexceptional. Israel rarely admits to such attacks, however, and Wednesday, we got a rare case where the Israeli Army spokesman retroactively confirmed one.
On September 21, Israeli ground troops crossed the border into the Syrian Golan, destroying two military outposts, which Israel accused of being used for “routine security.” The Israeli Army official said it was retaliation for Syrian troops chasing rebels into the demilitarized zone.
The Israeli troops entered the area, planted explosives at the sites, and detonated both simultaneously. Other officials said they feared that leaving the outposts could see them used by Iran or Hezbollah some day.
What a site might be used for some day is never a legal justification for an attack, but Israel is long past needing to make justifications to attack Syria. This attack was the perfect example of that, where but for the army’s comments we’d never have known who did it or why.
A “border” is just a one-way line, Israel crosses it until it chooses to just stay and keep it. Nobody else can approach it; Israel says so, and uses the US to enforce that.
Syria invaded Israel in 1948, 1967 & 1973. Syria still refuses to sign a peace treaty. Israel needs to stop Syria from stockpiling weapons for the next attack against Israel.
Even your pals Moshe Dayan and Begin would reject your assertion.
And all along Boy Basher cowers in his bunker.
It’s simple. One has guns and backup the other is just a victim.
According to Netanyahu some years ago ‘the reason Jews cannot integrate with Arabs is because Jews are in the minority and they will loose their identity as a chosen people if they were to mix with the indigenous population. So in order to keep the people and the region divided, Netanyahu wages war with those who cannot really defend themselves, especially with the US war machine backing up Israel.
