#1 What would happen if the rebels, out of desperation, actually attacked Israel? Israel would presumably have to counter-attack - would the Muslim world sit back and let the rebels fall to the Juice, or would it come help against a common enemy, leaving Assad the odd man out?

#3 would the Muslim world sit back

This scenario has been played out before with the PA, Hamas and Hezbollah. The Muslim man on the street thinks somebody (else) should do something about Israel.
