Syria: If US Attacks Us, We'll Attack Israel
Arutz Sheva ^ | 8/26/2013 | David Lev

Posted on 08/26/2013 2:25:58 PM PDT by TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed

As talk and rumors of an impending Western attack against Syria mount, a top Syrian official said Monday that if attacked, his country would react – against Israel.

Speaking to an Arabic-language radio station operated by the United States, Syria's Deputy Information Minister Halaf Al-Maftah said that Israel would face not only Syria in the event that the US, Britain and France attempted to unseat Bashar al-Assad. A coalition consisting of Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria would respond to any attack against Assad with a response against Israel. In addition, terrorist groups in Syria and Lebanon would attack Israel with full force.

I thought that was a very interesting article myself. It certainly does explain how to dismantle the US rather quickly. Sucks for us that our very own “elected representatives” care more about the global oil cabal than the citizens of our country.
Our only hope is that they push Israel too far and they take care of business, cleaning up the whole neighborhood. However, if you believe in the good book, Isaiah 17 is quite clear in stating that Israel will be destroyed along with Damascus when it all is said and done.

Is this the beginning of the end? Will every country be against Israel? We already know the US is.

We can see the handwriting on the wall right now. All nations (including the hijacked US government) will indeed oppose Israel. The countdown has begun...

...But before the Lord returns to do battle and defend Israel, the False Messiah/anti-Christ (0bama?) must first usher in a false peace and be praised. Jews will be allowed to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem...but then anti-Christ will take it as His own and demand that HE be called "The One." Cue up Armageddon then.

If anything, it looks like America is trying to drive Israel into a war it nether wants or needs.

If by "America" you mean 0buma, Clintoon, McStain, the Bushes, and the rest of the globalist New World Order vampires hiding behind the US Flag, hijacking American resources and military for Kabuki Theater Ops, then yes.

It's hard to imagine Mossad and Israeli intel standing pat for this dangerous nonsense and tolerating its treacherous players.

Clearly, this is two-fer for the Current Regime now squatting in the White Hut. Help out the Muslim Brotherhood, let somebody else try to deliver a kick in the teeth to the Israelis, and all with hardly getting our feet wet.

Yep. The dots are getting easier to connect. The Regime couldn't care less; They're working in their 4,000th mulligan from the US media and Congress.

For three years, the combined forces of Syria, Iran, and Hezbollah haven’t been able to win a war against a ragtag group of rebels, yet the Syrian government in its currently depleted state thinks it can take down the mighty Israel?!


Most of the leaders in the Arab world are narcissistic. Most of them know how popular it is to hate Israel. Therefore, just like Saddam did before him, Assad threatens to attack Israel believing that the Arab World will rally to his cause and drop their differences to engage the biggest/most hated enemy of Islam.

It’s fantasy, but they believe it will save them. It won’t.

Relations with Israel under this administration have gone from OK to very bad.

Should Syria attack Israel, Israel will be unleashed because Obama has very little sway over Netanyahu.

IF Assad is foolish enough to launch SCUDs at Israel, his regime is finished within 2 hours. Problem is, then the so-called “Rebels’” (read Jihadists) take over.

If the Syrians launch Chemical weapons at Israel, Israel nukes Damascus and then they should nuke Tehran after that. Of course the UN will be up in arms but the major threats to the planet are gone...oh, maybe one more nuke on Moscow for good measure?

I don't see much happening really. A few cruise missiles taking out a few huts in the desert. Iran and for that matter Russia have more influence over Syria than we do over Israel at this point. I suspect Syria will do nothing..we will do next to nothing and this will dominate the news cycle through September instead of the funding battle in Congress..pretty much a win for Obama..

Your casual, predictable progression might happen, just as you state but you are dealing with Muslim Arabs - two very BAD combinations. These farts are unpredictable because they do not have a rational sense of being. For them, it is all about honor.

Honor is more important than life itself and if that means killing your own sister because she looked at a boy then so be it.
Insult and Honor with NO COMPROMISE is the Arab Muslim way of life so...

don't be so sure about your scenario, you (and even Obama) do not think like they do.

...biggest/most hated enemy of Islam

Israel is the “Little Satan”.
America is the “Great Satan”

America is more hated by Islam, hence 9/11.

Just sayin’

As I stated earlier I think Iran is so close to getting their bomb that they will stop Syria from any attack. I'm not pretending to understand their thinking but I don't think Iran will let them provoke Israel into an attack.

My hope would be that Syria does attack Israel and then the Israelis’ take care of both Syria and end Iran's nuclear threat once and for all..Is to do so.Israel cant depend on the US and will have to eventually act on its own, this might be an opportunity

I think the present administration is unwilling to do much more than use the situation for domestic political gain which is the casual response that keeps the US public distracted.

I see it another way.

I see a possible attack on Israel which then uses it as a reason to pulverize the Hizbollah in Lebanon, something that Israel is better at doing because of the known theater of operation and it is in Israel's “backyard”.
Israel “knows” Lebanon better than the Lebanese.

So there is a possibility that the US MIGHT go after Iran while Israel takes care of the little guys in it's neighborhood, HAMAS and Hizbollah.

Of course we are dealing with a weasel President who does not like Israel so, things may turn out differently.

Such a response by Syria on Israel would require large amounts US and NATO ground and air assets and a much larger military presence overall.

That would not be a bad outcome. A Syrian attack on Israel opens the door to many intriguing possibilities..unfortunately even the Syrians are probably not dumb enough to to actually follow through with their threat..

Yeah, attack Israel, right. Or, the jackasses running Syria could just put the barrels in their own mouths and squeeze the triggers.

Thanks TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed.
