Israeli intelligence reportedly says Trump's Syria strike failed, didn't take out much of anything
Business Insider ^ | Apr 17, 2018 | Alex Lockie

Israeli officials cited in a Ynetnews report characterized the missile strike on Friday by the US, the UK, and France on suspected chemical weapons facilities in Syria as a failure.

Multiple Israeli government and military sources suggested the strike was not effective in hurting Syria's ability to conduct chemical attacks.

These officials also criticized President Donald Trump's talking about the strike beforehand.

The latest strike most likely didn't change anything on the battlefield in Syria, and it's hard to know how much of the chemical weapons stockpile it hit.

Our greatest allies!

Our friends, the Israelis, cannot afford to indulge in wishful thinking. This may or may not represent the Israeli intelligence community's consensus view, and it may or may not be accurate. Regardless, it is inconsistent with the behavior of a friend to undercut a friend behind his back. It is not inconsistent for a friend to speak the truth.

I don’t know about YnetNews, but a lot of Israeli news is controlled by the same libiots that control American news.

Did he tweet about the attack right before the attack, or in the weeks before the attack?

Trump support is probably very high in Israel now.

He didn’t say when he’d attack, but that he would, as he arrayed missiles and planes around Syria, and Russia threatened to retaliate. Too much wind up for the pitch. Better to just launch a sortie from a carrier and then talk about it after.

the real irony is, given the vast overrepresentation of Jews in the top echelons of the New York press, how their cajoling of US voters into voting Dem in general and Obama in particular, screwed Israel by advancing militant Islam worldwide.””

Mike Savage, a jew himself, has been shrieking about jewish suicide for years. Jews are incredibly hardcore leftists. They will not be changed and they are not our allies.

“Jews are incredibly hardcore leftists. They will not be changed and they are not our allies.”

All generalizations are false. I am no longer leftist at all, despite my upbringing, and that means that Jews can be changed. I’ve also known a great many hard-core right wing Jews.

“Let us handle our problems, you handle yours.”

When America does something in Syria, it’s more our problem than America’s. You watch pundits pontificate on TV about what was done. We watch the border and the skies.

All generalizations are false.””. This statement is a generalization, but I get your point, there are exceptions to the rule. I should have said the majority. Mike Savage is clearly not leftist either. Being far right is synonymous with being moderate in today’s world because the spectrum has been shifted far to the left. The old media empire is our enemy and largely responsible for this shift to the left, where a moderate is labeled a rabid right winger.

The leftward tendencies of so many Jews distresses me more than you, since the lefties number among them members of my own family, and since the statements they make in favor of their world view have grown from vapid to totally unhinged. But truth and logic will triumph in the end, and those leftward Jews are not stupid, just mis-educated, and a sense of evidence and reason is ingrained in our collective character. I just hope the End is still a long way off, because it will take time.
