Assad: Syria will shower Tel Aviv with rockets if attacked by foreign powers

Interesting, isn't it? If any state, (not Israel or the US but any state) attacks Syria, Syria will retaliate against Israel. Israel the regional bully, Israel the war-monger, Israel the biggest threat to world peace. LOL, right... It does not sound like Israel's neighbors have all that much fear of this regional boogeyman. Saddam Hussein showering Israel with scuds without a provocation, Iran, Syria, Lebanon attacking or threatening to attack Israel without a provocation, Egyptian mob attacking Israeli diplomats and vandalizing the embassy... Looks like it's Israel that has been since 1948 and still is constantly harassed and bullied by it's 'peace-loving', 'pacifist' neighbors, not the other way around.


Israel - the scary big bad regional monster:

 

have you ever once thought that perhaps if israel has stolen the golan, that maybe there is a bit of anomosity?

have you ever thought that if the whole region is a weeeee bit pissed at the israelis occupation that perhaps the israelis gang is in the wrong?

is it all all possible you are on the wrong side of the argument?

did it ever cross your mind?

 

I thought the spoils of war dictate that the side that wins the battle retains the territory and especially when the defeated party calls for an armistice.

But what do I know?

 

Nice try Assad-Lover. LOL Iraq did not have territorial issues with Israel when they showered it with scuds, Iran does not have territorial issues with Israel, the Egyptian mob does not have territorial issues with Israel, Lebanon has minimal issues... what part of "if any foreign power attacks Syria we will shower Tel Aviv with rockets" don't you understand? If Israel returned the Golan Heights the showering of Tel Aviv with rockets would just be 100 times easier and more effective.

 

Well, it seems to me that Assad is getting pretty desperate. Not only is he terrified that his own people will depose him, but he is terrified that NATO will take sides with his people and start bombing his palace.

His threat is a desperate attempt to get the Arab world on his side by threatening the common enemy Israel.

But the threat is empty. If Assad bombed Israel he would have a three front war with his own people, NATO, and Israel. Where would he hide with so many enemies?

 

Time for France to step up !

 

It's a fair assessment of the Assad's regime although he might hope that war with Israel will reunite him with his people. Given the views and intelligence (or lack of thereof) of the arab street it just might work.

The irony of the situation is in the fact that the so-called regional warmongering bully (Israel) is the one that's constantly getting harassed, bullied and attacked by every scumbag in the neighborhood.

 

By building another Maginot line perhaps? Typically brilliant French thinking, was that.

 

You do know this is an unconfirmed report by an Iranian news, right?

And if it is confirmed this is Assads "if I'm going down I'm taking you with me" speech. Why "Israel"? Well, Ahmadinejad isn't too fond of the Zionist state. Neither is Hezbollah and Hamas. So if he goes out, he's going to go with a bang.

 

You should consider where the 'bang' might first be.

 

you didn't look at the picture. Look how tiny the blue of Israel is compared to the rest of the Arab nations. Why be pissed off at such a sliver of land.

 

Cancer tumors aren't very big, are they?

 

So you think Israel's mere existance will lead to the death of all those nations LOL. Those Israelis must be very strong and powerful and the nations weak if thats the case.

Sorry analogy doesnt fly beyond you trying to insult Israel.

 

No, not all the countries existance in the ME. Just the peace in the region.

Zionism is the cancer of the Middle East. And your one to talk. Look at how much "Israel" controls America through AIPAC...

 

So now you blame Israel for all conflict in the region.. let me guess, by their very existance it then justifies conflict against them and subsequant reprisals. That seems to be the only justification Hamas need.

 

"Israel" occupies Palestine, the Golan. It occupied Sinai which was returned for peace. It occupied Southern Lebanon until Hezbollah liberated it. Would Hezbollah and Hamas exist today if "Israel" didn't exist? No.

 

Have you guys tried looking forward? All I hear is "but 50 years ago in land we did not own it got divided and we only got half" and "we want it all now".

It makes the Arab world look a teenie HUGE bit childish.

 

You'd have had a point- in the nineteenth century.

 

It was land inhabited by Palestinians.

The Zionist claim is thousands of years ago this land was given to them. Thousands of years ago I don't think European Jews even existed yet. But you don't call that childish?

Palestinians lived on that land for a long time. European Zionazis have no link to Semetic Jews, therefore no link to Palestine. It's as clear as that.

The Semetic Jews didn't start Zionism. The Semetic Jews didn't create "Israel". Ever wonder why? Because they didn't need a "Jewish homeland".

 

Ok fine. Even if you are right. Israel isn't going to cease to exist. So you need to come up with a solution other than claiming that the mere existence if Israel is the problem and that the only way to fix the problem is for Israel to cease to exist, because it'll take a nuclear holocaust to make it cease to exist.

You people seriously think that Israel is just some temporary thing that will one day dry up and blow away in the wind or what? Are you really THAT STUPID?

 

Still doing it OJLeb. In those days there were Jewish Palestinians so whats your point!? Why bring up 'European Zionazis', its almost irrelevant if you forget that they were rounded up, tortured en masse and displaced by the Nazi's....... but back to the modern day. Move forward or get out of the way (is the subtle message of the IDF).

 

None of the crap you wrote is true, you may think so but that doesnt mean anything - other that this conflict is far from over...

 

You don't know that there are laws in place-which, by the way, Israel is signatory to, which preclude the retention of territory acquired by war. That's what you don't know.

 

I guess what Assad is trying to say, if America or NATO with America attacks Syria, which would happen if Syria or Iran or Turkey attacked Israel anyway, then they might as well throw all their chips in at once and attack Israel if they're attacked by the U.S for another reason, this would likely encourage other nations to join Syria and Israel would indeed be wiped off the map, or if the Syrian, Egyptian, Iranian, and Turkish armies are incompetent, they'll pay a heavy price.

So instead of being able to pick and choose single nations on which to project military might, the usual method of NATO, they'd be confronted by multiple threats, which might make them think twice about possibly kick starting the next major conflict on Earth. Although I have no doubt that NATO is powerful, with so much resources committed to one region, they would suffer with less power projection in other regions, specifically the far east, which if events were to unfold with NATO involvement against multiple nations in the Middle East, would make the far east theatre much more unstable for Americas allies.
