he time has come for Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to confront US President Barack Obama.
A short summary of events from the past three days: On Tuesday morning, the head of the IDF's Military Intelligence Analysis Division Brig. Gen.
Itay Brun revealed that the Syrian government has already used "lethal chemical weapons," against Syrian civilians and opposition forces. Brun described footage of people visibly suffering the impact of chemical agents, apparently sarin gas.
Hours later, US Secretary of State John Kerry said Netanyahu had told him on the telephone that "he was not in a position to confirm" Brun's statement.
It is hard to imagine the US was taken by surprise by Brun's statement. Just the day before, Brun briefed visiting US Defense secretary Chuck Hagel on Syria. It is not possible he failed to mention the same information.

No, Israel doesn't want a confrontation with Washington. But we don't have any choice anymore.
The time has come to take matters into our own hands on Syria and Iran. In Syria, either Israel takes care of the chemical weapons, or if we can't, Netanyahu must go before the cameras and tell the world everything we know about Syria's chemical weapons and pointedly demand world — that is US — action to secure them.
As for Iran, either Israel must launch an attack without delay, or if we can't, then Netanyahu has to publicly state that the time for diplomacy is over. Either Iran is attacked or it gets the bomb.

What good does it do us to back either side in Syria?
None whatsoever. They’re all Muslims.
We pray for the day that we get a government that protects CONUS instead of shoveling billions of dollars and thousands of America lives to bring ‘democracy’ to the Muslims.
Stupid Central Socialist Government of Amerika.
Registered this year just to say that? Go back to DU where you and the rest of the anti-semites belong.
My, my, aren't we the touchy one? So why is it anti-semitic to suggest that Israel deal with Syria? Don't they share a border? Aren't they more at risk from the fallout from chemical weapons than we are? Aren't they capable of finding and destroying them? Don't they, in short, have more to lose than we do? So why shouldn't they be the ones to act?
My bad. I agree, Israel should do what the U.S. won't.
