Israel pounds Syria after Iranian rocket attack, sparking fears of escalation in Middle East

Israel said it attacked nearly all of Iran’s military infrastructure in Syria on Thursday after Iranian forces fired rockets at Israeli-held territory for the first time.

It was the heaviest Israeli barrage in Syria since the start in 2011 of its war, in which Iranians, allied Shi’ite Muslim militias and Russian troops have deployed in support of President Bashar al-Assad.

The Syrian Army Command said Israel’s attack killed three people and injured two others. A Britain-based war monitor, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the strikes killed at least 23 military personnel, including Syrians and non-Syrians.

The White House, in a statement, condemned Iran’s “provocative rocket attacks” from Syria and said it supported Israel’s right to defend itself.

Expectations of a regional flare-up, amid warnings from Israel that it was determined to prevent any Iranian military entrenchment in Syria, were stoked by U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement on Tuesday that he was withdrawing from the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers.

The Trump administration portrayed its rejection of that agreement as a response, in part, to Iran’s military interventions in the Middle East, underpinning Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s tough line towards Tehran.

Israel said 20 Iranian Grad and Fajr rockets were shot down by its Iron Dome air defense system or did not reach targets in the occupied Golan Heights, territory captured from Syria in a 1967 war.

Didn't you get the memo ?

Israel is allowed to bomb whomever the hell they please, encroach on whatever lands they please, and sooper seekrit-ly build nuclear weapons to their heart's content... without any interference or slaps on the wrist.

Why ?

Because... reasons.

With a side order of:

Netanyahu in deeper peril as more Israeli officials are arrested on corruption charges
Netanyahu in deeper peril as more Israeli officials are arrested on corruption charges

Just like the Trump/russian collusion investigation by the russian/uranium one colluding democrats...
;)
a distraction.

The special rights alloted to Israel under the Holocaust programme. Every nation except Israel is in Israels eyes just another of hundreds of nests of actual or potential Nazis.

Israel will sink an American carrier this time, and still get away with it, because Americans are stoopid.

Sorry, I don't read memos from whackjobs with zero comprehension of geo-political realities

Israel is allowed to bomb whomever the hell they please
Like who specifically, besides Palestine?
encroach on whatever lands they please,
What, like build a mosque on one of the holiest sites in the ancient Israelite capital of Jerusalem?
and sooper seekrit-ly build nuclear weapons to their heart's content... without any interference or slaps on the wrist.
The only ones who didn't know about it were living under rocks.

Why ?

Because... reasons.
Oh, by all means do explain. I can't wait to hear this.

Gee, I wonder why.
Because President "Peace Prize" isn't in power to blow them anymore. Maybe if Iran hadn't been busy funding North Korea's nuclear weapons program they might have been cut a little slack.

Israel gets the lions share of the worlds slack.

Seventy Years Of Turmoil, Treachery, Death And Destruction



Four days from now, May 14, 2018, will mark the 70th anniversary of the creation of the Zionist State of Israel. Most Americans—and especially most Christians—labor under the delusion that the modern State of Israel is a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy of ancient Jews returning to their homeland. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The creation of the Zionist State of Israel has brought turmoil, treachery, death and destruction that is almost unequaled in modern history. The Rothschild conspiracy to create its own Zionist state has its tentacles in both world wars and in virtually every significant act of war afterward.
I distinctly remember several of my theology professors in college (two different colleges, in fact) telling us ministerial students that “World War I prepared the land for the Jews, and World War II prepared the Jews for the land.” And this was stated as if two world wars was a GOOD thing.

Israel distorts timeline of events to play victim in the dangerous escalation with Iran and Syria

Here’s the actual order of events:
* Just one hour after Donald Trump violated the Iran nuclear deal on May 8, Israel launched missiles against targets south of Damascus, Syria, reportedly killing 15 people, at least 8 of them Iranians.
* In response, Iran early this morning apparently struck back with 20 rockets aimed at the Golan Heights, (which is occupied by Israel since 1967 but is still legally part of Syria).
* Hours later, Israeli warplanes attacked dozens of allegedly Iranian targets in Syria.
The mainstream Western media is falling into Israel’s propaganda trap. Most reports are treating the Iranian rockets as the original provocation, and framing Israel’s massive air strikes as the (understandable) response.

Yes you,re 100 percent right. But who,s muddled it the most and still continues to muddle to death these mid eastern sub humans you must wonder, I bet.


Wasn,t Israel assembled arround the same time as the petro dollar etc, Israel in the middle of all that oil money and power. That must have been nice to go home to.

The middle east has endured economic decline due to lack of war many times in the past. If it has to do it again ,it will. We know that because the same muddled east invented writing we are told and physics and medicine. If you were a bit muddled that way you could improve your communication skills and then after practice refrain from publishing such senceless junior highschool posts.

Israel should just quit playing games and flatten one of their third world neighbours Everytime one of them lobs
a bomb into Israel
TTHat will either teach the terrorists to respect Israel or there will be lots of vacant land available for someone to claim.

Yes they may have had civilization in the past , but what have they done lately ? Their civilization was crushed by the Mongal hordes and the onlything they have given the world since is the scourge of Islam .

No thier civilization wasn,t crushed by any horde called the Mongals. Even if you would have spelled Mongol correctly you would still have been wrong. There was Mongol participation in the Hoardian conquests but there were no huge Mongolian hordes simply because of the size of that tiny spot on the map and the very few Mongolians then and now. History is not to be trusted in most cases.


8. UNIFICATION OF SLAVIC AND TURK PEOPLES UNDER THE HORDE RULE.
9. RUSSIA-HORDE BECOMES A POWERFUL EMPIRE.

For your reading enjoyment.

You are some day going to be a very sad person. You have no idea about the future of the pest hole known as Israel nor the purpose of its formation nor who it works for. You are one among many of the decieved. "By way of deception thou shalt do war"?

Hey, Washington will burn to the ground long before Riyadh. The natural resource contained in each will determine the future. On the one hand we have the worlds most sophisticated students of bullshjt and on the other cook stove fuel of the world. Who do you think will win in the end?
And let,s keep in mind the word genocide, enemies of the States, etc.. American Imperialism is Fascism, plain and simple. There is always the next experimentors with your sons and daughters and they labour under the delusion that they can escape the curse. What does a better future mean to them? That you take the bullets and they take the cream? Stuffed with cream they hasten to tax havens and invest in further regiem change. War is the economy of this planets inhabitants, no other conclusion is viable. Take heart though, this planet regularly scrubs it,s surface with star dust to remove the out of season parts. And life goes on., against the odds even, maybe, perhaps,
Where did all that high tech stone werk come from eh? There,s a great deal of revised history available on this web, and that of course raises it,s value while our various public education schemes dampens our appreciation of it, yes we pay to have students stupified. Use any metric you want, the fukkin line will always be longer and thicker then you can measure, under ordinary circumstances, where I come from. Mystification rules, pictures of stuff that never existed swirl about in our heads and we stand on clouds all day.
