Israel’s recent cowardice air strike on a scientific research center in Jamraya in Damascus Countryside is but a further proof of the Israeli foolish involvement in the crisis in Syria, a crisis for which Israel itself is to pay the heaviest cost. The cowardice Israeli attack, considered by some observers under pressure from ewes, ottomans, petrodollars, is another unjustified, foolish, reckless step coordinated with some armed terrorists groups on the Syrian ground.
The Israeli government uncalculated reckless policies, which even provide safe haven and logistic support to terrorists on the 1974 armistice disengagement line, are one of the main reasons behind the augmentation and spread of the cancerous terrorism.
One here has right to wonder whether such a cowardice Israeli strike came as a bid to test Syrian patience, potentials and capabilities! If so, what a stupidity! According to different calculations, some elite units of the Syrian hero Army, with their undeclared and so far unused strategic arsenals, are in waiting. The Syrian hero Army, waging a fierce war of legitimate defense against armed terrorists countrywide, is led not by warmongers, like in Israel, just and comprehensive peace is still the strategic choice. Israel should fear for itself when it has been working but for compelling some to drop such a choice! If the whole world of today is a global village, how when it comes to neighboring countries!
Israel hasn’t so far learnt by its consequent defeats at the hands of Resistance men, particularly the great heroes of Hezbollah fighters. Israel continues to add fuel to fire! Fine! This very fire is to burn first and foremost Israel itself. Netanyahu, with a slap in the face following the results of the recent parliamentary elections, has to consider the new emerging realities in the region and worldwide. Israel is no more immune or invincible.
Actually, the Jews inside Israel, whose ancestors tasted the bitterness of Nazism terrorism and horror, should curb their reckless leaders. If the takfiri terrorists are slaughtering the innocents of the same blood, religion, what would they do to the ”infidels”; for terrorists, everyone unlike them is kafr (infidel) to be not only slaughtered but gas-chambered!
At a time when the crisis in Syria approaches its concluding chapters, responsible, balanced, and wise policies should be pursued as to live and let others live. Everyone, once cornered, can resort to Samson’s Choice. Hopefully, particularly with the coming of the new US Secretary of State, John Kerry, a war-veteran turned pacifist, serious efforts would be exerted by all as to live and let others live, but in and at peace.
