Syrian rebels' senior official says Israel must urge intervention

Source: Ynet

"If Israel wants to prove it has good intentions toward the Syrian people it must urge the international community to intervene in Syria," a senior official in the Syrian opposition told Ynet Sunday.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that Israel must urge intervention in order to "save Syria and the Syrian people and prevent Syria's fall."

He blamed Israel for giving the Syrian regime "diplomatic cover," and said it must be removed if Israel "wants to show the Syrian people it is not assisting the Syrian regime and the Syrian terror."


He estimated that eventually the world would intervene. "I have reason to believe that preparations for war have begun and that this intervention is extremely close," he said, but did not specify what his estimates were based on.

With a Middle East full of Muslim nations this guy is begging for help from ISRAEL? Does he think the oil rich Arab nations have no clout?

And the war-mongers, weapons manufacturers and General Officer Class exploded in applause!

(Although, only nine percent of Americans want their country to be part of yet another Middle East war.)
