This is what the Obama attack on Syria is all about, putting the screws to Bibi Nethanyahu and Israel.
Israel has active war machines on its Northern, Eastern, Southern and Western borders, with the Russian fleet just off shore.
Things are NOT good in Israel right now.Soon every man woman and child may be carrying a rifle or other military ordnance.
The only reason O getting involved in Syria is distracting attention of the US population from the local issues. Regarding your last sentence, Israelis carrying weapons anyway. This is not the first, and unfortunately, not the last time that have to be done.
