Israeli, Syrian forces in face-off on Golan

Israel at the weekend officially threatened to attack Syrian tanks if they do

not withdraw from the UN-monitored buffer zone that exists between the

two nations on the Golan Heights.

Last week, Syrian rebels managed to capture the strategic border town of

Quneitra, only to lose it again within hours to a government counter-attack.

After regaining Quneitra, the regime of embattled Syrian dictator Bashar

Assad moved five tanks and a number of armored vehicles into the

demilitarized buffer zone.

Working via the UN agency that monitors the region, Israel sent a firm

warning to Syria via the UN Security Council, insisting that if the tanks are

not withdrawn, the Israeli army will take action against what it sees as a

threat to the nation's border.

The Syrian army reportedly responded that the tanks are in place as part

of an ongoing battle with the rebels, and requested that Israel not attack.

The situation appears to be stable at the moment, but the face-off again

reinforces how close tensions along Israel's northern borders are to

pulling the Jewish state into a full-scale war with its neighbors.

Zionist youth is a match in battle for the average war hardened Syrian

and Hezbollah soldier? Who sank the German donated Dolphin submarine in

Syrian waters on may 2nd 2013. Why did the German navy ship escorting

the sub retreat from the scene? Did the Russian navy not tow the sub

back to Tartus? The dream of Zion is becoming a nightmare. How ironic. The athiest Zionist regime

is now dependent on the moral support from the debt ridden flakes from the bankrupt US bible belt.

How sad it has turned out.

Dear friend, each believe what you want, and choose your own religion. Sometimes what

our eyes see are merely reflections of a different reality with the purpose of the changing it

like a magic trick where the illusion prevails. War is the art of deception, and there is only

one God, Death. Serves you well?

Why is everybody leaving "Israel"? Which so called Zionist youth is willing to take on battle

hardened Syrian and Hezbollah soldiers? Who sank the German donated Dolphin submarine in

Syrian waters? Did the Russians not tow the sub to Tartus? The dream of Zion is over!

The data to be analyzed are: Hamas, Hezbollah (Nuke?), Beirut, Kurds, Turkey and internal conflict,

Iran (nuclear power?), Syria and their internal conflict, France (Nuke?), Lebanon, Russia (Nuke?)

and its support to the regimes of Bashar al-assad, Jordan (Hashemite), Iraq (border). These are

the direct stakeholders, together with USA and NATO. Adding to the political tensions, we still have

the social, economic, and East West and Middle East with the consequent approach to raw

materials such as oil, uranium, and maritime trade routes. China (energy?). It is extremely

laborious combine all the possibilities with the data referred to above. Nothing can fail, zero,

however there are millions of possibilities. In which will be the most comprehensive and accurate?

considering the four countries potentially involved, and the three extremist factions, at least, without

forgetting the Kurdish involvement, but never at any time descures the remaining strategic

positions, particularly the south and east. Right now Nato should conduct exercises in the

Mediterranean Sea, by all means support for Turkey (excuse for supporting Israel, and above all

prevent and strengthen the presence of the allies of the United States, because the situation can

quickly get out of control. Might be a good idea to temporarily relocate a reinforcement of air assets

in Greece to support participation in exercises (also a excuse),will be developed by Nato in

Mediterraneo. Not slumber as hungry wolves randam your door.

the buffer zone must be honored at all times ...and enforced at all times or else it will not be

honored....regardless of big picture...how we support the big picture may never

compromise the small picture ....ever... for it is too late that we realize that that one issue

...whatever it is... once compromised on also effects the big picture...only hind sight tells us

that often times little picture items are really big picture items in disguise....then it is too late

...and we then again have learned nothing...like apparently is the case after dealing with

Hitler....Saddam.....Amadinajad...and Afganistan....if we don't lessons and change...from

other bad choices...we will repeat them... go Israel go!!!!
