Why Israel should intervene in Syria
2011-08-29

#10  Hands off of Syria. There is enough to focus on right now. It will most likely fall on it's own.

#9  No good reasons for the Israelis to go in, and lots for stay out of Syria for now. On the other hand, if Assad were to decide to cut certain deals behind closed doors, and leave certain parties to swing in the breeze, then the Israelis would have a reason to get involved. If the Egyptians want to promote this 'Arab Spring' crap, they have the men, materials, and border access to do just that.

#8  One might do better hiding things in plain sight. There is a lot of that going on too.

With the NYT and Wikileaks around? Good luck with that.

#5  Israel did many stupid things in the past, and---no doubt---will do many stupid things in the future. But some kinds of stupidity we should avoid.

#4  Nah!

If Israel wants to intervene in Syria, send in drones with anti-armour missiles. 3 or 4 tanks a day mysteriously exploding would be enough to tip the balance.

Call it the Libya gambit.

#3  The 'Free Syria Movement' based in the Golan has a certain appeal...

#2  Poor choice of language.

the opinion piece says that israel should allow a few Syrians a safe harbor in the Golan or offer to transport them to Turkey.

Not such a big deal.
