• Above the Law: What’s Behind Israel’s Latest Military Rampage Over Syria? 
  by 21st Century Wire 
  In a flagrant and overt violation of International Law, the state of Israel has used Lebanese airspace to carry out a sustained bombing campaign in Syria. The reason Israel does not respect its neighbors is simple – because they do not have to…
  –
  Syria has kept the peace with Israel for nearly 40 years, which makes this latest attack by Israel all the more worrying. Now Israel has joined NATO and the Gulf monarchs’ dog pile on top of Syria.
  –
  If any other country did what Israel has done, it would spark an emergency meeting of the UN and result in an international outcry against the aggressor nation – branding them as a ‘rogue state’. But not with Israel – there exists a double standard of hypocrisy when it comes to holding Israel accountable for anything. Internationally, it is above the law, and does what it pleases in the full knowledge that no one would dare tell it not to. Do not expect either the UN, the US, or NATO to say a word against Israel, who have all but declared war on Syria.

  The death toll is unknown as yet, but based on the size of the strikes, it could be hundreds, or maybe thousands of innocent civilians and innocent security forces – all dead as a result of Israel’s “strategic” operation.

  Does Syria have the right “to defend itself”?
  Firstly, don’t expect John Kerry to say a word regarding Israel’s latest attack on a neighboring country.
  –
  Israel (and the US speaking on behalf of Israel) often justifies its various aggressions as part of its “right to defend itself”. Does Syria have the same right? As it’s being attacked by foreign powers and international sanctions, is it allowed to arm itself against invading terrorist armies?
  –
  It will be interesting to see what Israel’s excuse is for pushing the region closer to an all out war. Already the media have taken the Israeli propaganda bait saying that Israel was targeting “suspected chemical weapons facilities“, or “stopping arms shipments to Hezbollah“, or “they have dangerous new SCUD missiles that are a threat to Israeli security”. Neither will ever be proven to be true, but they serve as headline fillers while the dust settles, and the agenda rolls forward.
  –
  Meanwhile, Israeli apologist and British Foreign Secretary William Hague, could not seem to find the tongue to criticize his ‘friends’ in Israeli, instead he has opted (predictably) to use the unprovoked Israeli strike as justification for Western intervention and more weapons for NATO-favored guerrilla opposition terrorists in Syria. Hague somehow feels that, ‘Israeli air strikes on Syria show that peace across the whole region is under threat, and reinforces the need to lift the arms embargo to Syrian rebels’.
