I'm so confused. If Russia doesn't arm Syria, AlQuaida gets more weapons from us. That, I'd think, would not be good for the future well-being of Israel. If, on the other hand, Syria uses the Russian weapons to destroy lots of terrorist thugs, that's good for Israel, isn't it?

I'd think that Russia and Israel would be on the same side on ths one.

ISrael doesn’t have a problem with most sales. The problems are the S-300 sams, which would have Israeli planes in Israel in range and the Yakhont missile batteries which can sink Israeli ships in port.
