True. The advantage of hitting Damascus, though, especially if it's
repeated and especially if collateral damage kills some rich Damascene
civilians, is that it brings home to Syria that there could be a _big_
personal cost, felt by the Syrian ruling elite, for supporting attacks
on Israel. Heck, I think that Israel should _target_ Assad, and then
others in the Syrian leadership, in the hopes of making that country
collapse into civil war as the hyena-like survivors struggle for
supremacy.
The Syrian elite has spent a good deal of the last few decades causing
chaos in Lebanon and death everywhere abroad. Let them have a
taste of
what it's like, at home. Couldn't happen to a nicer buncha guys



Don't you think it would help its international position for
Israel to end its occupation of southern Syria before making demands
on Syria? It has been well known for year in Israel, right from
Moshe Dayan, that it provoked Syria into defending itself during the
1967 war solely for the purpose of stealing the Syrian Heights.



Do you mean the Golan Heights, where the Syrian Army had been firing
artillery down on Israeli civilians for the eighteen years preceding
the 1967 war?

Actually I was refering to the shelling of Israelis who were
living on stolen Syrian land fronting the Sea of Galilee. Syria
certainly has a right to shell its own territory

I have similarly suggested Syria lease the Heights to Iran as a
down range missile test range.

If there was a dispute over the land in question then it could
certainly have been put to international arbitration.

In any event, despite the Israeli propaganda, Moshe Dayan give the
real and only reason for provoking Syria. To steal the land. That is
what he said. It has been confirmed by his daughter.

It was this revelation which shot down the Israeli propaganda. The
propaganda has been discredited. There is no point in trying to
resurrect it today.

Ignoring

Ignoring Moshe Dayan is truly incredible.

inconvenient facts like the eighteen years of Syrian artillery
raining down from the Golan Heights on Israeli civilians

If Israel was permitting its citizens to live on occupied Syrian territory that
means they committed a hanging offense as per the Nuremberg Tribunal. It is
crime against humanity.

And the civilians living on occupied Syrian land was also criminals as are
those today who are living on the Syrian Heights, in the West Bank and in East
Jerusalem. It is occupied territory. Both Israel's Attorney General and the
Chief Justice of Israel's Supreme Court agree they are occuppied territories.
That makes the squatters and those who permit them to squat are war criminals.

It is also the right of any country to attack anyone encroaching on its
sovereign territory. Even without pointing out the squatters were criminals it
is obvious they were choosing to put their lives in danger and Syria had every
right to use deadly force to drive foreigners out of Syrian territory. Syria has
no fewer rights because Zionists wanted to steal their land.

just because it
doesn't fit your anti-Semitic view of the world tells us all we need to
know about what kind of person you are.

The truth cannot be anti-semitic. Settling citizens on occupied territory is a
crime against humanity as per Nuremberg. It is also designated a war crime in
post war treaties and conventions Israel has signed.

You cannot justify a war crime no matter how hard you try.

To quote the late American Ambassador and Senator Daniel Patrick
Moynihan, "Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but they are not
entitled to their own facts."

And the facts are Moshe Dayan gave the only reason for picking a fight with
Syria during the 1967 war. And that also shows Israel was never in danger during
the 67 war giving the lie to another piece of Israeli propaganda.

I don't know how you got out of my kill file, but your going right back in.

That will save me a lot of time setting you straight on the designated war
crimes in this world and who is committing them.
