so it’s peachy to abort millions of defenseless babies, A-OK to chop off peoples arms or chop them in the chest with axes, or imprison them in dirt camps with no food, but if they gas their citizens we have to bomb?

No

However, US is supposed to defend Israel and not side with our enemies

obama got his ears pinned back by the American people because he was going to side with al quaida in Syria and the old rubrick still applies with the silent majority:

WE DON’T SIDE WITH OR NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS! DO YOU GET IT NOW OBAMA?

Syria crisis shows U.S. cannot rely on Obama

Obama’s inept nonsense has been a strategic disaster for Israel. Assad’s “ally” Iran has access to forward Syrian locations for mobile short range ballistic missiles. Israel cannot attack Iran’s nuclear facilities without potentially suffering a devastating counterattack. Unless the strategic situation changes, Iran will have its nuclear weapons within a year.

Netanyahu is a smart man. Better get to stocking up on your nukes. I have a feeling Iran has them now and can’t wait to try them out.

Syria crisis shows Israel cannot rely on Obama

I think the Israelis were smart enough to figure this out back in '08, but you wonder why the American Jews have not.

[Obadiah]

Pfft... Other than the Muslim Brotherhood, what fool would ever rely on Obama?

“Syria crisis shows Israel cannot rely on Obama”

Duh!!! And the Israelis are just getting the message now? We’ve known it for years.

Neither can America.

I'm a bit conflicted on the issue of US intervention in Syria's civil war. On one hand I can understand Bibi's desire to see US military intervention in what seems to have originally been an actual revolt by the Syrian people themselves against the monster Assad's cruelly oppressive regime. However, it now appears that the original rebels have been largely supplanted by Islamic terrorist gangs who have their sights set on acquiring Syria to be a part of their own terrorist war against Israel. Also on that hand is that I usually support Bibi's position on most issues involving actual US interests in that critical region as well as on issues affecting Israel's survival as the only democratic nation in that critical area of the globe.

OTOH, I'm not at all anxious to see the patriotic men and women of our armed forces become involved in any more seemingly futile military adventures that have little or no impact on our own national security, hence my conflicted position on this difficult issue. One thing on which I think most of us on this forum can agree is that Obama is almost totally ignorant concerning military matters, and is by any measure the most ineffective president who has ever been inflicted on the American people by a deliberately dumbed-down electorate.

Netanyahu knows....when he spoke back to Obozo in a televised meeting, O was heard shouting "what the 'F' was that!!" several times in the halls by the Oval Office.
