JERUSALEM

Piss on the Bear.
Quite bizarre that Russia seems to be the only country with sense at the moment on the issue of Syria.
So what intel agency of what country stirred up the pot in Syria? That would be good to know. This would be all fine and dandy, except for the fact that every time the pot gets stirred in the ME, the USA pols like McCain can’t wait to suck us into a war. These wars do nothing except get GIs killed, and puts us more trillions into debt. At least Assad kept a lid on things, just as do the Saudis.
We quickly need to wipe our hands of the unsolvable ME problems and start taking care of the problems of the USA before we’re a third world country. We citizens never accepted that the USA have a new face and culture; that’s something that gives the pandering pols and commies a wet dream and they forced it on us.
Jihadist Iran supports their fellow genocidal islamofascist Assad. Israel knows that Iran and their proxy Assad is their real enemy, not Syrian rebels.
Heck, ask the democRATs.
The Saudis are the ones supporting and arming the Syrian rebels to destroy their enemy Assad.
Bad company ... I cannot deny.
Down Into The River to Pray.
Still think it’s an illusion. Everyone gets to Guess.
“Israel and Russia are in the warm ups for their slated death match in the end times.”
Holy smoke! I’ve never contemplated Israel nuking Moscow before.
His sect isn’t even recognized as muslim by muslims. In fact Saudi sheikhs preach that they are worse than Jews and Christians. There has been no direct conflict between the two in 40 years.
I really find it hard to believe that HERE of all places, people are ignorant enough to cheer for Sunni fanatics, who are fighting alongside admitted Al-Qaeda groups.
You even go as far to call them “rebels”, and frankly it is disgusting.
I find it confusing, to say the least, that you would support an Islamic state in Syria, to border Israel. You are arguing for the creation of a state run by religious leaders who ideologically believe that the Jewish people are their enemy.
There is a large difference between a secular state being against Israel and a religiously fanatical one being against it.
Look at Iraq, we could not stop the suicide bombings conducted almost daily conducted by these fanatics(still goes on today) yet somehow you expect they will be friendly with Israel?
You call Iran a jihadist state. When has Iran sent troops to attack us? In any field of battle I mean not just at home. The 9/11 attackers were sunni, the 7/7 attackers were sunni, the boston bombers were sunni, the jihadis who came from every sunni muslim country to fight in Afghanistan were sunni, Benghazi attackers were sunni, uss cole bombers were sunni, the bali bombings were sunni, the mali terrorists were sunni, the Somali terrorist group is sunni, hamas is sunni. Do you recognize a pattern here? Hezbollah is Shiite, but contrary to the other organisations they atleast know how to keep a status quo as seen in 2006 when hostilities ceased between them and Israel.
You need to learn and know your enemy. Yes, both are I understand that. In that case you need to know which of them is the more serious threat. I can’t understand how you can see Assad as a bigger threat that the spreading of militant sunni islam who make no secret that they want a worldwide caliphate. There terrorists are funded by our masters Saudi Arabia, and practically every mosque in the world is built using Saudi and Qatari money. They subvert minorities in their countries to the point where almost none exist anymore.
Look at how the Christians in Iraq have diminished, look at how the Copts in Egypt are getting treated, look at the Syrian Christians at how they have fled their country and the ones who remain are being terrorised by groups like al nusra(who have pledged allegiance to ayman al Zawahiri and al Qaeda)
We have supported the toppling of secular leaders for them to be replaced by sunni fanatics. In every circumstance idiots have been cheering for the downfall of ghaddafi and then Mubarak and now assad. In two of the previous examples they did not have the foresight to anticipate the disaster that would ensue. We are supporting the implantation of leaders in sunni muslim countries who all share the same ideology and once their power is consolidated they will turn it on Israel, and just go do the research yourself as they do not hide these aspirations one bit.
As a last note, don’t throw words like genocidal around foolishly. It does not fit the description.
Thankfully Israel is not as ignorant as you are.
On another note, what is with the chest bashing on this thread. Israel will not attack a Russian shipment, and if they did it would likely cause trouble for Israel. They would not be able to stand to the Russian military regardless of how hard you bash your chests.
Also, Syria is roughly 20% alawite(maybe more I don’t know the number). It is rather difficult to retain power in a nation which is 70% Sunni who, especially in the initial stages of the coup, were vehemently hostile towards the alawite. The key method to do this is continue the status quo with Israel, keep them an enemy as a way to galvanize the fanatics into directing their hate towards them as opposed to Assad and the alawites. By giving them a legitimate(according to their religion) enemy in Israel he can control the Sunnis. In that respect, Assad is not the real enemy of the Israelis, and infact should there be a breakup of Syria into sectarian states I would find that the Alawites would naturally be an ally to Israel.
My two cents.
A disconcerting development. Prayers up, Israel. I wish we could tell you America has your back, but I can’t, so I won’t.
Seems to me a win-win situation here from Russia's perspective whether the ship or not. The only change of course might be to ensure payment is up-front. Russia gets money, Israel wipes out the missiles, Syria gets no S-300. The other possibility is Russia finds excuse to not ship S-300's.
So the rebels should be supported?
