He makes a great point there. If there is a power vacuum, someone is going to fill it and you don't want whoever fills it to be your sworn enemies.
That implies that there's some power that could fill the void that would be acceptable to Netanyahu/IDF, the reality is that it's just another excuse, if they felt this strongly, they could always have intervened to help prop Assad up.
I swear, some of you people are just going to continue being Israel's lapdogs until they decide that Washington D.C. is part of greater Israel and as such, the Israelis are entitled to it.
Blathering a lot, aren't you?
I'm often critical of Israel, but I do recognize that they have every right to defend themselves from terrorist attacks. Stop the terrorist attacks and I'll go back to being very critical of Israel because of their unwarranted attack on the USS Liberty.
As for the bombings in Syria, the real question for me is whether they are endeavoring to limit the impact to civilians. In my limited reading about it, I haven't read about any civilians being hit at all by the strikes. The strikes are reportedly all against military sites, not homes and farms.
This isn't defense, this is offense. They regularly engage in "defense" that suspiciously winds up doing more damage to civilians than what they're allegedly defending themselves from.
As far as Syria goes, it doesn't matter what the impact on civilians is, they're not engaged in any sort of legitimate defense there as Syria hasn't attacked them and we don't yet know what the new regime is going to do.
Really, it's just the usual IDF using American money to terrorize the region for some vague reason.
