[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's crazy how America is supporting  and celebrating an anti American, Al Qaeda spin off group to become the government in Syria.

We go against our own interests to serve Israel's.[/quote]

Not really. It's in our interest to see the Islamic Republic of Iran and Russia diminished in the region.

Which they are.

At the present moment - and this could change very quickly - the new leadership in Syria seems fairly sane. And if the baddies like the hardcore Islamic fanatics come to power, they won't have the weapons - from chemical weapons to artillery - to be a nuisance to anyone else - thanks to Israel and Turkey.

It's all good at the moment for the US.   [/quote]

Laws are for enemies.[/quote]

Honestly, at this point the frankly antisemitic focus of international law and institutions has delegitimized it and hampered its ability to be persuasive to Israel at all (and of course persuasion is the only force available to international laws). The absurd condemnation of Israel protecting its border by the UN, and meanwhile Turkey is literally taking Aleppo to the north, is just the latest example. If you want Israel to listen to you, you need to drop the antisemitism. [/quote]

Interesting.  So you think Israel ought to be able to invade and annex territory at will?

Israel never cared about international law so let's not pretend this rose ever bloomed.

Antisemitism and holding Israel accountable for what it does are two different things.  But I understand you would greatly prefer it if the charge of antisemitism precluded any accountability for Israel's actions at all.[/quote]

Sometimes they are different things and sometimes they are the same thing.
When Israel is singled out for accountability it's at least a toss up.
