How is bombing Syria in favor of Israel?

Answer 1

Answer 1

It could go either way. One the one hand, it would send a clear message that non-conventional weapons will not be tolerated.

On the other hand, it could be used by terrorist or militant groups to fire missiles at Israel.

Answer 2

Bombing Syria has nothing to do with Israel. The United States does carry out some activities and policies that have no connection with Israel, you know.

Unfortunately, though, WHATEVER happens in Syria cannot be good for Israel.

Do you remember back to the Gulf War in 1991 ? That was a war waged by a coalition force from 34 nations, authorized by the United Nations and led by the United States against Iraq, in response to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. When the coalition's forces entered Kuwait and began to drive the Iraqis back, missiles began to rain down on Israel, which just goes to show the kind of reasoning and mental processes that go on among some in that part of the world.

Answer 3

Bombing Syria is not in Israel's favor. The Syrian Civil War will not naturally escalate beyond the borders of Syria. The Israeli-Syrian border and the Turkish-Syrian border are well patrolled. However, if the US bombs Syria, it has the potential to expand the war. Iran has threatened that if the US attacks Syria (which is an Iranian proxy), Iran will respond by targetting Israel with conventional missiles (since Israel is an American proxy according to the Iranians).

Answer 4The answer is yes and no

Bombing Syria is in favor of Israel in that it may result in:

1. Destroying the Syria's capacity to attack Israel at any time in order to regain the Golan Heights occupied by Israel since the sixties of last century
2. Destroying the chemical weapon capacity of Syria and thus having Israel remain as the only country in the region with weapons of mass destruction.
3. Partitioning Syria into smaller entities that could be more easily controlled and that would remain in conflicts and mutual attacks (the same way as currently in Iraq).

However, it may not be in favor of Israel in that it may result in an overall disturbances in the area with interference of Iran and Turkey that may result in attacks on Israel with missiles or other weapons.
