IAF Bombs in Syria!

[Ming]

Hmmm... I guess people didn't take the no spamming comment seriously...

I wouldn't continue if I were you.

Sorry Ming...

Anyways back to the topic,
Does anyone think that Syria will reconsider its support of terrorist groups now that Isreal is willing to attack it after a terrorist attack?

[Japher]

No. Syria is a little peasant, despite being rich. They are begging with the UN. The UN will probably give to them, since they are a bunch of ******. If the UN would deny it to them then Yes.

Israel did the right thing, and the US needs to support them, and F' the UN if they disagree.

[SlowwHand]

Syria is a long way from changing.
IMO, they're one of the more radical countries involved over there.

[Jack_www]

Well the United States can veto any resolution that is anti Isreal and prevent the UN from doing anything really.

Syria isn't rich.

And what do you think they have been doing for 40 years ?

Oh god, not the UNSC argument again.

Look, people, whatever your position is, I think it's rather obvious that the decisions of the UNSC doesn't represent what is right, moral, lawful, or whatever. It represents one thing, and one thing only: The interests of the security council members, mostly the 'real' ones, the permament veto-wielding members.

Yeah, and that is exactly what I said about USA and Israël

I would love to learn more about the link between the terrorist girl in Haifa and the supposed training camps in Damascus.

And this is why the veto power must go. Or perhaps should require multiple nations to activate?

Olaf, there doesn't necessarily have to be a direct link between her and the training camp.

The terrorist "girl" was working with the Islamic Jihad, as did her late brother, whose death she was avenging. The IJ provided her with the charge, guidance, resources, training and what she needed.

The top political leadership of the IJ sits in Syria, and it's main offices is in Damascus.

The training camp near Damascus is used by Palestinian terrorist groups to train some of their militants. Among others it is used by IJ militants.

Bombing the training camp was a direct signal to the Syrian leadership of the Islamic Jihad, that if they think they can escape punishment since they are in Syria, they are wrong.

Israel simply started with that camp because it is clearly a terrorist militant target, and because it would create a political mess if they straight out attack an Islamic Jihad HQ in the middle of a street in Damascus.

Israel has been targetting Hamas leadership and has managed to decrease hamas activity in scale and efficiency since most of their time is spent on hiding.

The Hamas also btw have a senior political leadership in Damascus.


This step as I learnt, was chosen as part of a new policy to target Islamic Jihad, and Hamas targets abroad, which was decided upon after the terrorist attack on a Jerusalem bus in August. The same meeting where it was decided that Arafat will be expelled.

The government hints btw that this attack doesn't mean that the Israeli actions are over, and that Arafat may (or may not) wake up in another country, one of these days. Or not wake up at all.

Btw, he has been reported to be quite ill recently. Palestinians say he caught something from one of his visitors.


Also interesting to note, that as I predicted, after this terrorist attack, not a single political figure called Israel requesting not to banish Arafat..

I am glad you agree that UNSC resolutions aren't relevant.

That is what you should have done before you sent your planes into Syria.

Ok, I'll rewrite it so you have a chance to understand it:

It seems obvious that resolutions about Israël cannot be efficient as long as one permanent member ,always the same one, uses its veto to block every consistent step.

Go it now ?

And don't get me wrong, I didn't say the current situation is Israel's fault. It is logical for Israel to protect from terrorism. The problem is, I don't see any improvement in the future if things continue to go like that.
