Whilst I can understand the fear that Israel is subjected to, I cannot understand how it is legitimate to have one country constantly make air strikes on another country to prevent a third country from making any attack against them.

It is undermining Syria's sovereignty , causing the Arab countries to bind together, and provoking retaliation.

Why doesn't Israel just openly declare war, instead of these undercover midnight missions ? That's what they want, whilst Trump is at their helm, they are itching , and of course the up and coming elections are likely to be contributing a major part in getting the voters onside for the psycho to be re-elected.

Would Germany or any other country have allowed UK to constantly bomb their weapons factories without retaliation, I don't think so !

I'm sure if Iran or Syria made a strike on a
an Israeli missile factory the world would go to war.

Obviously the Golan are about to be a hot topic, as US have asked the Russian to persuade the Syrians to get out. So we sit and wait for more.

Syria's human rights history pre-Bashar al Assad, has nothing to do with Israel attacking her, that's just a ploy to pretend someone cares about the lost souls , otherwise someone would have done something about it long ago.

However, reporting in the Jewish press is not always pertaining to the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth, including the highly censored press and media around the world, but the ME press give another side from what we are officially permitted to know . Fortunately we are able to see more than one side because most don't wear blinkers or have tunnel vision.

Have you made your mind up as to whether the air strike on Aleppo last night ,was only an alleged attack , or is it another rock to hide under ? Last strike in January killed 11 people. followed by the downing of a Russian plane . That curbed things for a bit, but now it starts again.

There are times, increasingly of late, when my dearest wish is they Israel WAS as terrible as it is presented as being.

Why are you bothering to answer a rhetorical question Annie, Muddy stated it was rhetorical so she is just making a point and playing games with you. She doesn't want an answer at all just an argument.

And that, coming from a supporter of Israeli policies, is possibly the most alarming thing I've read on this thread.

It shows a certain mindset. Of winner takes all, of the end justifies the means, of desperation and leaning towards a military solution is the only solution.
Israel aren't that bad ... they're just not so shinny good as some would try to portray. They should be as answerable to the rest of the world as any other country.

It was a stupid question and i was pointing this out. The games are tiresome and don't add any value to the discussion. It's a way to distract from a weak argument.

Ah that makes sense I just thought for someone claiming others are stupid asking a rhetorical question was a bit odd as despite saying it was rhetorical the poster wanted an answer to argue about. I sometimes think we are trapped in some dreadful never ending loop in some threads, Topic may occasionally change but same things are said time and again.
