Israel has launched missile strikes on Syria’s two main airports in Damascus and the northern city of Aleppo, knocking both out of service, Syrian state media has said. 

The “simultaneous” attacks damaged landing strips in the two airports, “putting them out of service,” state news agency SANA said on Thursday, citing a military source.

When will the world hold Israel responsible for its terrorist activities? It’s time to restore Palestine back to its original boarders.

It sounds like Iran's foreign minister was 'warned'. If they wanted to kill him they would have, but that would have been a direct declaration of war on Iran.

320 Has a point. What right does Israel have to bomb Syria? Are those two countries at war?
Is there something that justifies this aggression or is it a illegitimate act of terrorism by a nation state?

You decide and tell me.

But last time I checked, Syria has not Directly attacked Israel since 1973.

Are you serious?!?!

Yes very much. Tell me under the Geneva and Haig conventions how Israel can attack Syria and not be at war.
What UN or international law permits this type of action??

And before you Reply do remember what you say can then be applied to ANY Where else in the world or you are a hypocrite

This is going to be good. 😊

Well, tell the syrians to declare war against Israel then and stop whining.

Anonymous said...

No cannot do that.

But where is your righteous indignation about unprovoked aggressive warfare.
Is that not a crime?

Was that not declared a crime against humanity at Nuremberg?

Syria allowed mortar attacks from their soil into Israel 1 day ago. So yes, Israel has a right to retaliate for the Syrian first aggression.

Russ

Thank you . you are one of the few on this blog who has half a brain. Nice to see someone think instead of blather.

But attacking both airports for a mortar attack on the border is not exactly a proper application of force .

RussInSoCal said...

I think Israel has thrown reciprocity or symmetry of scale out the window. When you have 2000 terrorists storm into villages, rape and butcher 1000 civilians, the gloves are off.

Nothing new, we saw this in the 1980's. It is called the iron fist.

But Hamas is in the south and Hezbollah is in the north. Not the same thing. So attacking Syrian airports is kind of a stretch for the Israelis on this one.

But I will say this and I am not condoning anything.. Israeli or Palestinian..

But if I Locked your family and friends into a concentration camp or Indian reservation for over 50 years, and every so often I came in and shot the kids for throwing stones or blew up a house or two... you would be pretty demented too.

Hate breeds hate.

I regret to inform you that this is not going to stop. Every 5-10 years you see a repeat of this stuff.

Palestinians rebel, Jews crush them and 5-10 years later you repeat the cycle.

These people deserve each other. Crimes, assassinations and slaughter on both sides. It will only get worse.

We have seen a life time of this tragedy and for you younger folks, you will see another lifetime of it too.

Your moral relativism is telling. Its the reason we have this cycle. It'll be no time until Gazans are not "trapped in a concentration camp". A false comparison. Several thousand travel into Israel every day to work, earn money and take it back to Gaza. They have an open coastline and an active rocket industry.

Israel has never 'shot the kids for throwing stones'. And your continued equation of the American Indians to Hamas terrorists is irrelevant.

Israel has bent over backwards to live in peace, and they get killed because of it every time. They've done enough. If their Arab 'brothers' want the Gaza civilians to live, they can transport them to their country and take financial responsibility and guarantee their good behavior. Otherwise, I don't give a shit if they die in their tunnels.

Also, the upcoming assault on Hamas animals is going to make Iron Fist" look like a minor incursion.

Reap The Whirlwind.

Russ, No you are wrong.

The Israelis are just as cruel to Palestinians as the Arabs are to them.

You forget about the sabra camps in 83, Jews surrounded the camps. Let in their Christian militia flunkies, then stood by as the militia slaughtered everybody. And yes the jewish soldiers shoot kids. That is just one incident among many.

And how about that Young lady journalist they killed last year? Oh that was just an accident.

The Gaza's live in some of the most restrictive political situations on the planet. It is truly an apartheid situation.
The Israelis also treat them like crap. It is just the way it is.
And the Hamas attacked. Yes. Wrong yes, cruel yes surprising no.

And what are the Israelis doing? Why, they are pancaking buildings. Flattening skyscrapers. wrong yes, cruel yes, surprising no.

So right now. You have a bunch of people, who did nothing to deserve this, who are still alive, trapped under tons of concrete , who cannot get out ,being eaten by rats.

Did not think about that one did you? And with the water power and turned off, The city closed off and the roads blocked by rubble, who is going to go in and rescue that 68 year old or the 10 year old kid who is trapped?

No one

That Is right Russ, no one.

How would you like that to be you or your grand daughter?

Totally innocent yet in horrible pain and dying alone in the darkness.

Yes Russ, right now, as you read these words, that is happening to some poor soul in Gaza.

So do not give me this shit about how great the Israelis are or how they have done nothing wrong. Reap the whirlwind. You Bechta , for Both sides.

They deserve each other.

RussInSoCal said...

To be honest the Israeli strikes right now are very minimal. Surgical at this point to destroy Hamas infrastructure.

So who deserves the Gazans? No one cares about the Palestinians. Least of all Hamas or Iran (or Jordan or Syria or SA for that matter). They're just fodder they use to influence the media, UN and Ivy College educated idiots. A second Nakba needs to happen, is going to happen. Temporarily so. Until the Israelis can scour out the tunnels, missile shops and basements of Hamas. Kill every one of them. Then carefully vet the refugees and they can come back in. And live at peace with a peaceful neighbor.

I hope you are right. But I cannot see it. We shall see.

it is obvious to all that a peaceful solution is now almost a fading dream hopefully there are still some sane minds that are willing to negotiate and end this

there are 2 reasons israel bombed the airports . 1st to prevent more Iran weapons shipments to lebanon 2nd to prevent Hamas from flying their hostages to Iran

Will the real terrorist nation and organisations in this conflict please stand up. It's Hamass, Hezbollah, Iran and Russia. Enough said.

a few things perhaps not noted here:
the workers from Gaza Israel let in daily drew maps etc and at least one kibbutz person recognized a worker among those Gazans who stormed over from Gaza.

The Hamas charter still has the statement that their purpose is to destroy Israel

if you google education in Gaza and anti-Israeli sentiment you will see that very young children are taught early on to view Israelis as evil that is to be destroyed.

how do you separate Hamas militants from just plain Palestinians when militants do not wear uniforms?
