Israel takes advantage of a vulnerable Syria

What's wrong with bombing chemical weapons sites? They should have done that 10+ years ago when Assad was gassing his own people. Better late than never, I suppose.

I can't wait to hear the hordes of experts on DL opine on this nuanced, third rail geopolitical topic. I am ready for edification!

Fuck I despise Israel. What a shitty evil state

Will anyone recognise Isreali's sovereignty over the Golan Heights?

I’m pretty sure the fact that Syrian refugees are heading back to Syria en masse means that the Syrian people prefer the occasional Israeli bomb destroying a stockpile of sarin gas or a bunch of Soviet tanks to life under Assad. How did Assad last so long? Where’d he get his money?

Putin and Iran.

And you Americans are funding it with all the $$$ you send to Israel that's spent on their military.

I really wish a GIANT SINKHOLE would just swallow the entire Middle East, from the Mediterranean Sea, to the Black Sea, to the Caspian Sea, to the Indian Ocean.

Just swallow the whole goddamned area.

Problem solved!

the cold war ruined the middle east and there's no hope for recovery

More like WW1

Well, Trump said he would fix the middle east so he better get on with it. Ukraine too. That's what he promised.

I don’t know what the end game is but the fall of Syria is a huge blow to Iran and Russia. They both look like paper tigers now. Israel’s aggression has really weakened Iran. Ditto for Ukraine and Russia.

Good!^

Christ, you’re a fucking moron.

R3 is a chemicals weapons cache concerned team Mom.

I'm currently in talks with Bibi regarding plans for a 5-star, luxury Trump International Hotel in the beautiful Golan Heights. It will be first step in Golan Heights' transformation into a World-class destination without comparison. As I pledged to be a leader of peace, it will no longer be in dispute. Israel agreed to grant America's "First Buddy" the right to annex, govern and 100% fund this new entity. Security will be guaranteed by a top-notch Starlink Brigade, freeing up the Israeli military to focus on other areas. Though the hotel carries the name of the greatest businessman the World has ever known, I'll have nothing to do with it because I believe in transparency and representing America first, not my own interests or profits. I'd never betray the trust bestowed upon me.

-His Magasty, Donald Trump.

^^^The signature line should have said, "In today's reality, we've seen crazier shit happen than this."

Trump's going to let Israel do whatever it wants.

R3 So you like chemical weapons? Assad used them on his own people. You like terrorist attacks? Some people, like yourself, only like Jews when they are victims. That time has long passed. Go fuck yourself, antisemite.

R18 You mean defend itself against terrorism? Good.

R12 “Israel’s aggression.” Hmm. Israelis were in their homes when several thousand Palestinians invaded, murdered, raped and kidnapped. Burned people alive.

That’s why we are here now. No other reason.

Yes, Israel has weakened the whole terrorist regime orchestrated by Iran. Good.

I'm fucking pissed at Israel for how they're handling Gaza, but this is the the right thing. And it seems killing the head of Hezbollah is what got the ball rolling in Syria and has put Iran on the back foot.

R22 Perhaps you should be “fucking pissed” about Palestinians in Gaza who started this whole thing. I don’t give a fuck about Gaza and their terrorists. When the IDF went to rescue hostages, civilians came running out of their houses with AK 47s and RPGs. Weaponized civilians holding hostages in their homes. Fuck them.

Don't fucking lecture me about geopolitics, you fucking loon.

R24 Deluded moron. I just did.

Oh fuck off with your shrieking , bellicose nonsense. Go sell your shit somewhere else, because we're not buying.

I think we can disagree about the right course of action in Gaza and yet all* agree that Israel blowing up chemical weapons caches in Syria so they can never be used against people is a beautiful thing.

*some exclusions apply - all does not include Tulsi Gabbard, the Assad family, any Russian troll farm trolls or the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

OP, you have to ask?

Fake news. Jared Kushner brought peace to the Middle East.

Stlll grave concern that Syria would go hardcore Islamist. I don't blame Israel for taking the arms out while they could.

Jared took so many Arab loads up his bum some of it is still dripping out.

I don't know enough about Israel to pick a side, but I find it incredibly disturbing that Jews are being treated so harshly (again) of late.

As I understand it, not all Zionists are Jews, and not all Jews are Zionists.

Of course, if our british cunts had kept their asses at home, there would be far less upheaval in the middle east.
