No. Lev is an Israeli leftist who has no idea what the real world is like so he draws up his own world, talks about moving or not moving pieces around in it, and then condemns something that is not happening.
He’s a typical leftist schmuck and no even a smart one. Plus his “historical facts” are wrong about Armenia, Stalin, etc..
It’s not sane to bomb Assad to help ISIS.
The civil war in Syria is a Mozlem on Mozlem war. Evil fighing evil for its version of evil . Christian’s get minor protection under the Assad side but other than that no reason to pick sides or intervene. ( Drawing a red line against chemical weapons is a seperate issue)
I usually don’t go by twitter reports, but this one was so interesting, there may have been Russians at this “Al Dumayr” base bombed OR attempted to be bombed. At first, I didn’t think their defense systems were strong enough to intercept but now, there are too many reports of this, some by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, who are not Syrian state media.
If Iran obtaining a real nuclear bomb is indeed a threat, I’m not judging for myself, perhaps Israel is trying to speed the clock up while they still have weapons superiority.
Right now the best option for Israel is for Assad to win, but keep fighting thejihadis he will face in the north. This will keep his attention to the north. To the West he's given up territory to Kurdistan - and they are Israeli allies
in fact Israel could use Assad - he is beholden to the Iranis and Russians, a bit too much. If Israel can give him a (covert) separate lifeline, he will be happy

Part of any leader’s statement to either save their nation, or to say a baby, is why old men exhort the young to fight their causes.
Israel and the USA would be better off staying out of that fight, helping the re-build, and attacking Syria only if Syria attacks them. Israel is no more prepared than the US to station an occupation force there and be responsible for whatever goes wrong.
And, yes.
Their blood.
Are on your hands.
You cannot wash them like Pontus Pilate.
But, you already know that.
You have never been here for the Free Republic.
You have never.
That’s right.
“Israel has still not learned the lessons from the Holocaust. Had it taken the meaning to heart, it would stop the ongoing atrocities in Syria.”
Idiotic statement.
The Jews DID learn the lesson - don’t live in a country controlled by a non-Jewish majority that can strip you of life, liberty, and property with a few strokes of pen.
Intervening in other idiots civil wars was definitely NOT part of the lesson of the Holocaust.
