Israel attacking Syria is nothing new, but the Wednesday night strikes near Palmyra are raising some eyebrows, with the reports that the attacking F-16s deliberately used civilian airliners as cover to strike with impunity.
This isn’t the first time Israel has done this. They appear to be betting that the Syrian air defense systems won’t be activated around civilian airliners for fear of embarrassing shootdown incidents.
Such tactics have been harshly criticized by Russia in the past, as in 2018 they used a Russian spy plane for cover, getting the plane shut down and 15 crew members killed. Russia declared Israel wholly responsible.
The airliners weren’t hit in this case, though Israel did kill nine people in the attacks. The reckless and willful endangerment of the planes may still be a bigger deal, and shows Israel’s disregard for civilians’ safety so long as they can attack targets with impunity.
Yeah, that’s Israel at war.
The last paragraph describes Israeli aggression in a nutshell.
The moral equivalent of terrorism.
its a swamp creature that not that long ago provided the world a phrase- moral equivalence – to hide and confuse the real identities of the poisoned twigs and the larva ridden brancheses perched on FDD,AEI,JINSA,and PNAC.
Diplomacy and appeasement will never work to stop Israel.
They will not stop until either their neighbors are destroyed, or they are.
I prefer the latter option 😉
And yet during the next rampage against the outdoor prison called Gaza, the little parasite will claim that their killing of so many civilians was only because Hamas was using human shields. They’ll say it with a straight face and Blinken will Nod.
My thoughts exactly.
If an Israeli passenger jet is shot down, guess whose own damn fault it will be.
WHY does the world allow this impunity?
A bunch of Cowards…!
This behavior should call for global condemnation and sanctions. Yet, a silence.
What is going on?
Russia could stop all of that in a heartbeat
Sounds like a match with some Ukrainian tactics in 2014. There’s for decades an axis forming of informal but strong support and cooperation between Ukraine, Georgia and Israel, with the latter trying to balance this with their attempts to remain cordial with Russia at the same time.
A union of whiny boys.
Israel is not only a threat to every nation in this world but Isreal has become a threat to every human being on the planet. How so ? Israel is a nuclear power, Israel is constantly attacking its neighbors some of whom are protected by nuclear powers, if Israel does not stop with the military aggression a new war could easily be started, a world war, a nuclear war that destroys the planet, we all suffer. Isreal has to be made to behave.
