Not that I'm a Middle East expert but this is exactly what I thought about Israel's actions.


Meanwhile, Turkey has joined some Middle Eastern nations - including Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Egypt - in accusing Israel of exploiting the downfall of Assad. The Israeli military has acknowledged its troops are operating in Syrian territory, beyond the demilitarised buffer zone between Syria and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights

Ah, glad to see those paragons of virtue are on the case. They've never poked the bear for their own interests all over the ME have they?

How many immigrant workers died building the World Cup stadiums in Qatar? How many will die building the stadiums for the likely Saudi Arabian world cup 2034?

In all likelihood they're probably quite relieved that Israel are taking these assets out making them unavailable for the next iteration of ISIS or AQ as they wouldn't want to lose their privileged existence to such organisations, but they have to say something to save face.

What the heck have the other, peaceful, Arabs nations got to do with it? in the Arab mind, actions like this will fester and rather than prevent the next iteration of ISIS, it will all but guarantee it. You've heard of the abhorrent 'honour ' attacks on women I presume, this will trigger exactly the same response. Netanyahu is not peaceful, he's a criminal, trying to avoid jail in Israel on corruption charges.

Below is a quote from the article I linked, below.

'He (Netanyahu) has previously expressed a desire for peaceful ties with the new Syrian government, and cast its interventions as defensive.

Rami Abdul Rahman, the founder of the SOHR, described the impact of the strikes as destroying "all the capabilities of the Syrian army" and said that "Syrian lands are being violated".

'Peaceful Arab nations' - hmmmm! And yes exactly, what have they got to do with it - apart from furthering their own interests like all governments and politicians do.

Oh look that peaceful Arab nation has just been awarded the World Cup.
