It’s absolutely insaneIn reading some of the vintage of Netanyahu corruption trial it becomes very apparent how dissociated we are with the mind of many if not most of the Arab/middle eastern world.
Time after time we have made the same mistakes, in Afghanistan, American force of influence toward Palestinian statehood, Iran going further back and now it appears we are starting down the wrong path in Syria.
If someone slapped you across the face with a frying pan every time you walked out your front door it wouldn't take long before you started going out the back............... Not the US government though.......

You know, just a few weeks after Israel opened its defensive military action against Hamas, I started seeing unsubstantiated claims of “50,000 civilians killed”.
Now over a year later, I am still seeing claims of “50,000 civilians killed”. So I guess we can safely assume that Israel has killed zero civilians in the past year?
And the minions unquestionly take their word for it. 'We don't want war but excuse us while we attack for a while.'
Israel conducts 350 airstrikes to completely wreck Syrias weapons stockpiles, jets, AAA, ships etc before they fall into the hands of the new Rebel Jihadist government. The IDF says this is a purely defensive measure, it has no intentions of war with Syria or trying to move on Damascus etc.

If it was offensive wouldn't they just off the leaders they are afraid of taking power? Seems that is their strategy toward terrorist organizations they are actively fighting.Yes, of course, purely defensive, like Pearl Harbor was defensive.
Leaders can be replaced. Israel's tying to take away Syria's ability to block their maneuvering, like Japan's objectives in attacking Pearl Harbor.If it was offensive wouldn't they just off the leaders they are afraid of taking power?

Based on past strategic moves this doesn't scream a preemptive strike against these terrorist at all.
Wasnt that after they shelled Israeli positions from the high ground? Isn't that an act of war Syria initiated?Have you watched or read the news this week?
edit: What does 'or join' mean in the last part of the question? Israel attacked Syria in 1967.
I have read that Syria shot at an Israeli tractor that was in the DMZ in 67 but I don't recall anything about them shelling Israeli positions before Israel attacked. Since Israel's attacks started the fighting it follows that Syria didn't start with shelling Israeli positions.Wasnt that after they shelled Israeli positions from the high ground? Isn't that an act of war Syria initiated?
Hence my question, when has Israel invaded Syria, the only time I'm ever aware of that happening was when Syria committed acts of war against Israel.
They took the Golan heights, the positions from which they were shelled. Since they abandoned the territory they won in battle UN forces have been in place to prevent a return to hostilities. The same UN that has proven itself time and again incompetent to effectively do much of anything. And corrupt to it's core.
I funny blame them for acting out of an abundance of caution considering the current hostilities and events playing out. They'd be incompetent not to.
