I believe Syria has their hands full with the Rebels without threatening Israel.
That said: Is there a difference between handing over weapons to Hizballah and letting them fall into the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood Rebels?
Serious question. What is the difference?
The Muslim Brotherhood would have to fire missiles across the Golan and make them veer South, while Hizbollah would have to fire missiles across the Golan and due South. Or the MB could violate Jordanian air space to hit Israel, and we all know how fearsome Jordan is. They also could ship some to Egypt in case that chapter of MB is feeling frisky or wants to give Hamas some new toys. Only real difference.
Anyway, if Assad helps Hizbollah threaten Israel or threatens Israel himself, he gets help from Iran and Hizbollah fighting the rebels, so I suppose that’s what this is all about. Iran’s making angry chimp noises, too, so it adds up.
Are the rebels Muslim Brotherhood or worse? Think of the ones in Libya who attacked our consulate.
