[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Israeli Ground Forces Cross into Syria, Officials Say
Israeli ground forces have overtly crossed into Syrian territory for the first time since the 1973 October War, passing the demilitarized border zone, two Israeli officials said.[/quote]

Looks like the Israelis are grabbing some more land. Who knew Syria has oil and gas reserves. The Israelis new buffer zone will overlap the gas and oil reserves. [/quote] note you aren’t upset about Turkey taking 100x more land yesterday than Israel did [/quote]

What’s it like to obsess over finding slights everywhere you look?[/quote] why do you single out israel? [/quote]

DP, actually …

As to the poster you responded to previously, how are you in any position to conclude that he “only” singles out Israel? Even if they are “only” singling out Israel, why is your impulse not to address the merits of their point, but instead to duck the point altogether by questioning their motivations?

In this case, Israel is ground zero for violations of international law related to the acquisition of territory during conflict - given that, why WOULDN’T someone point out that Israel is continuing to engage in conduct that has repeatedly been deemed unlawful by the U.N., the ICC / ICJ, etc.?[/quote]

Turkey has been launching incursions into Syria for a long time! That’s the whole point - Israel is NOT “ground zero for violations of international law” by any stretch of the imagination wrt Syria (and in general). [/quote]
