O.K. I think I might understand your point now. Please let me know if I have it right...
There has been a Syrian civil war going on since 2011.
During that time, the US, Israel and several of their allies in the region have been giving aid to rebel groups, providing them medical aid, funding and training, taking out their enemies on the battle field, etc.... (you have provided no argument against any of this so I assume you concede these points)
But nobody really “caused” the resulting regime change. Or if somebody did “cause” it, it was other states and NOT Israel.
Netanyahu can claim that “This collapse is the direct result of our forceful action” and he is a good and honest person but Israel still didn’t cause it.
Because to claim that Israel had any role in causing it, is to say that they were ENTIRELY responsible for it and that everything bad in the world is the Jews fault. And this is of course a blood libel.
Do I have that right? Because that is a very logical argument.
Good job.
I agree Israel caused the fall of Assad, but not as part of a nefarious plot to get Christian’s killed, as you allege.
As I have plainly stated multiple times, Israel, as a democracy, was obligated to take on hezbollah as well as it could, considering the virtually daily missile strikes from them since October, 8th 2023 ha caused 60,000 internal refugees within Israel. Israel destroyed most of their leadership, much of their missile and launcher inventory, disrupted their arms flow, literally blew up their bank, etc.
Separately, Russia has been greatly tied up in Ukraine, leaving them weakened locally for Assad. They have bigger fish to fry nearer to home. I have no dog in that fight, but Russia became an unreliable supporter who was previously critical to the survival of the regime.
Assad relied heavily on hezbollah and Russia to survive the last civil war, as documented severally.
With hezbollah unable to effectively retreat to defend Damascus, and with limp Russian support (indeed they largely fled) Damascus fell.
Israel caused it insofar as they were obligated to take out hezbollah, as any elected leadership would be required by their electorate.
So the domino effect of Assad falling was not an intended consequence. Netanyahu is claiming credit this morning for Assad’s defeat, which is accidentally true, but was never an explicit war objective before it occurred.
But in no manner is it an Israeli objective to have Christian’s killed, as you have directly accused. Your post #3 is evil.
If you were to retract that evil and mistaken accusation, I’ll happily ignore you.
