The Syrian Threat


The Syrian government cannot rest in blaming the current chaotic situation in the hands of foreign countries that want the regime of Bashar al-Assad down. The punishment from the government against their own citizens is not an unknown issue. In March 2011, a group of students who protested against the regime and set some graffiti were cruelty tortured, as a massive wave of protest did not get deterred by the government actions. Maybe it is time for a radical change and it is time for the Assads to abandon the country as soon as possible.
Thousands of soldiers have already defected and began launching attacks against government installations and formed several cells united with civilians to show their support for new reforms in the country. In December 2011, the United Nations called the situation of Syria at the verge of civil war.
The conflict between the government and the people is not an easy rivalry. It calls for confrontations with several ethnic divisions. The people from the government and elite members of society belong to the Alawite sect, which is a minority when compared with the Sunni population. Despite this chaotic situation, Syria continues to be a major threat to Israel; daily confusion on the streets, people abandoning their homes seeking for shelter, and women and children targeted by their own regime only shows the coldness and sanguinary thirst of a dictatorship also committed to attack Israel.
In 2008, a Syrian government delegation visited Moscow seeking a variety of new weapons systems that Israel considers threatening. Syria focuses on anti-aerial missiles is a
preparation to repel any attack from the Golan Heights; however, Israel needs to reinforce the border with Syrian by stationing long range missiles in the mountains without ignoring the Lebanese border as well for a possible wave of immigrants seeking shelter outside Syria.
Let’s not forget the military pact between Iran and Syria in the event Israel and the United States make any movement in the region. In 2005, the evil counsel of Mamoud Ahmadinejed had a pact with military officials from Syria to allow Iranian weapons in their territory in order to confront the Israeli-America threat in the region. Syria harbors representatives of several Palestinian terrorist organizations to include Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. There is no doubt that Syria also contributes to the support of Iranian funded terrorist organization Hezbollah. Israel has reasonable believes that Syria is a threat; the northern country of Lebanon was under Syrian control for more than 30 years and supported all the way Hezbollah training facilities as a proxy to fight Israel.
Israel emphasized that its interest in peace and negotiations with Syrian authorities faded when impacted by the continuous support to terrorist organizations in Damascus. Syria continues to be part of the axis of evil and a force that encourages, support, and delivers terror in the Middle East. Ambassador Robert Ford left the country upon closing of the Unites States Embassy in Damascus; the tension is palpable and deserves monitoring round the clock. The people of Syria need the support from outside nations; What is the Obama administration doing for the people of Syria besides talking? Both Assad and Obama are at the end of their rope. The security of Israel cannot be compromised by the incompetence of Muslim rooted Barack Hussein Obama.
