In a bold case of the pot calling the kettle black, Israeli officials are warning that weapons from the Syrian authorities could end up in the hands of Muslim terrorists, when Israel and the West are almost certainly arming terrorists in Syria.
Defense officials told
Haaretz yesterday, that Hezbollah, based in Lebanon and other terror groups, could end up with large amounts of weapons from the Assad regime, including SA missiles, high-trajectory long-range rockets and missiles, and biological and chemical weapons.
No evidence was given to support their claims. Much like Iran's nuclear threat, Israel is operating from the position of "ifs and maybes", a stance that essentially means they can accuse anyone of anything without proof.
"What has been passed on to Hezbollah so far? What will be passed on in the future? What will be divided between the two factions in Syria?" Said Israel Air Force chief Maj. Gen. Amir Eshel.
Perhaps a more important question we should be asking is who is providing weapons to the rebels in Syria?
Gen. Eshel stated, as far as Assad's fall is concerned, "the question is when, not if." Does that mean Israel are lending a helping hand?
