    The families they drove out were never "animals in the park"... Israel has done a great deal to create hostile populations and refugees.

    Have you ever given a thought that the current Israeli leadership might actually be completely insane? Bibi fits the profile perfectly. He knew the toilet was broken, he dispatched quiet a big load anyway. What are the consequences? It remains to be seen.

    That's not how it works in Israel, the ppl ARE the army, its one thing to take FSA wounded and another to train and arm ISIS, we would know about that.

    Im sure you think Bibi is insane but there are so many fundemental things we disagree about I wont even argue here.

    We are talking about ISIS not Palestinain war refugees. I agree we have our fair share of responsibilty.

    Everyone knows that FSA is non-existent force. Jihadists took over long ago. They go under different names. Are trying to tell me now that Al-Qaeda and Al Nusra are good guys? They have their camps right in front of Israeli noses. You haven't moved a single finger against them. On the contrary, you target the Syrian Arab Army in order to help those Islamists.
    ISIS/ISIL/IS/Daesh or whatever you want to call them are well trained fighters. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows that their military success both in Iraq and Syria is a result of the extensive training their fighters received from US/Israel/NATO instructors. They trained them well, hence the success. Our foreign policy makers still believe they can be controlled. By the way, the U.S bombing campaign against them is a joke.

    I understand that is in your national interest to have Syria as an independent and strong country portioned and destroyed.

    National Interest

    I will agree with that. Syria does have bigger fish to fry at the moment. However, violence from their conflict has spilled into Israel a few times, prompting an appropriate Israeli response.

    Iran clearly have nuclear power plant, clear and irrefutable evidence of a nuclear energy program. You can't prove your claim.

    Took over the rebel leadership perhaps but the Syrian displaced civilians inside Syria are still alive, do you call the 2 million refugees in Turkey and Jordan Al-Qaeda as well ?

    UNDAF refer to those camps as "displaced Syrians", UNDAF, Syrian Arab army and IDF all recognize civilian families in those camps as well as fighting men, simply put displaced civilians while the men fight Assad forces, Al Nusra is another force that probebly work with those freedom fighters against Assad but they are not the same group, simply because they are around doesnt mean Syrian civilians or freedom fighters should not get medical help and in any case Israel would be wise to at least talk a cease fire with whoever holds the border. doesnt mean we arm them.

    Calling our leadership insane and accusing it doing something that any idiot can see is harmful to it - simply means you have no reasonable argument......time for crazy conspircies :eyepopping:

    Sure I can.
    they built a huge nuclear facility inside a mountain and hid it from the rest of the world.
    Clearly a military program.

    Israel always overreacts.

    There may be a number of reasons why that is so, but the response is always disproportionate, which only makes them more feared and hated.

    That's your opinion. My opinion? I think it's okay for them to take extra precautions seeing as though they are surrounded by 3 nations who have tried to invade them multiple times. Those 3 nations ganged up and tried to attack Israel at once. Israel owned them in 6 days though.

    Israel has to pound the enemy into submission or else their land would be taken from them. Bombs away!

    I have no reason not to believe the Iranians. I have a multitude of reasons to not believe their main accusers, Israel, INCLUDING Israel's undeclared, uninspected nuclear arsenal, not weapons program, a full blown ready to go nuclear arsenal, rogue in the North Korean sense, yet deadly in the ability to deliver the nuclear payload via nuclear submarine, something which world organisations such as the U.N and IAEA should be looking seriously into, something which should, if we looked at state actions as of recent, should be far more worried about.

    Israel has no qualms breaching/ignoring international law/regulation, it would have no qualms dropping the bomb either.

    You don't have to believe actual events, facts on the ground backed by admissions of the shady torturing CIA and Mossad themselves...

    (Granted, these articles are years old, but can you find proof since then of an Iranian nuclear weapons program, no? Thought not.)

    Also, Israel's nuclear delivery capabilities courtesy of the German people.

    So, you can not believe in reality if you wish, it's your life after all, enjoy living a life in which your world view is shaped by men who draw red lines on pictures of cartoon bombs, only to have been proven to have either been incorrect or blatantly lying due to the lack of evidence materialised of such claims. If Bibi was correct, then the world would know that Iran has the bomb, today, after all that red line was crossed a long time ago.

    I have always understood Israel's position, but not anymore. They are no more human than the Syrians, and they have no right to intervene and bomb the Syrian facilities whenever Assad is getting the upper hand so that the war can continue...and this is why they are doing it.

    Before the fighting, every faith lived in Syria peacefully with one another, until Assad refused to hurt Russia by allowing the gas and oil pipelines from Qatar and Saudi Arabia to go to Turkey. That's when the three of them, with Washington's blessing started the protests. They managed to get rid of Yanukovich and put a puppet government in Kiev, but Assad is still fighting, and he has all the Syrian people behind him; Christians, Shias, Sunnis, Alawites, etc. None of them want to live under the Sharia law of the terrorist jihadists coming in from Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Would you?

    First off, I don't dislike Assad. He hates terrorists just as much as we do. However, Assad has always hated Israel. He may not be directly attacking them now, but his rouge military members are. Invading Israeli airspace is a dangerous thing to do...

    Frankly it's absurd to even suggest that bombing 2 warehouses in a war-torn country will change the balance of power on the ground. In reality Israel bombs weapons transferred from Iran to Hezbollah through Syria. As it should and as it always will.

    I think russia gave Iran a nuke, back in 2002, and the plan is to use it under the straights of hormuz, when our ships pass on the surface.

    That is the first time I've ever heard such a claim. Do you have any sources in regards to such a claim?

    How and why Israel took freedom to violate human rights in Palestine on daily basis? Because Israel can, while living on our taxpayer money.

    Saudi Arabia is NOT interested in any pipeline thru Syria.. and don't need one.. Qatar wants a gas pipeline.

    Israel bombs targets now and then. Usually it happens when weapons are stored.
    It always boomerangs on hizbala, I doubt anything else is being involved.

    By what he brazened out and said,
    it seems that the statement is general and refers to a wider area than Syria/Lebanon.
    There might be some new weapons smuggled.
    The world watches Israel. Israel will have to bow to the international pressure. It is impossible to hide such secrets.

    Jeannette You are a lovely lady but in my view a one sided personage.
    Assad is supplying Lebanon <Hizballah> with Missiles to strike at the heart of Israel... this is exactly why the Israelis are bombing and purging the megalomaniac Assad.
    That is all I can say... so make your own conclusions. Israel is not a proxies of any one country but defending its own territory.

    Israel violates no human rights. The dead civilians from the Israeli bombing campaign refuse to throw the terrorists out of their land. They hardor the terrorists, therefore guilty by association.
