Iran threat

Israel does not have the option to stay out of the syria disaster, everything Israel does not do to help inocent people from being killed is seen by the palistinians. One may not have chioce in involvement but the way one envolves is how one does act upon what is right; if Israel does not help the people of syria that are crying out for help how can palistinians trust that Israel will help palistinians in side Israel territory from homas or hezbela what ever them tyrants are. If Israel whats to negotiate what they see best for the people around them Israel must negotiate for the lives that are being killed with out cause in the front yard before cleaning the back. These words come from a Jew that would very much like to see another Jew in Israel understand judgement comes from doing righteous or unrighteous unto others and not ones self

  What is it that you expect Israel to do in respect to Syria ? Bomb Damascus ??? Israel can send medical teams. Israel can provide food and clothing. Right now Syrians are asking for military aid to oust Assad .... but even the Arab League is not helping the situation. So please explain what Israel needs to do ?

Hmm-- Let's see---- Iran can meddle in Syria's affairs but it's off limits for the rest of the world?? An extremist of ANY flavor is dangerous, and the leadership in Iran IS extremist. Syria--just a pawn.

The big question is still 'Who are behind these massacres ? It could well be that they are instigated by western foreign powers, mainly US and Israel to have an excuse and pretexts to invade the country. Western corporate news media are currently softening up the public and manufacturring consent for such an assault.

  As for who is stirring things up? In the US it's weapons-production money interests, and a controlled press.
