@HeerJeet Supposedly Assad falls, they lose last major antagonistic Arab regime. (Maybe they dont think abt gaining huge Al Qaeda haven)
Honest question: lots of reports that AIPAC is supporting Syrian intervention. Why? Can't see how it benefits Israel.

@billmon1 Yeah, I suppose that's the logic. But the downside -- turning Syria into 1990s Afghanistan -- is huge. Really a wild gamble. -

Tricky path for Israel: chaos, but not utter. (Oh, Israel used white phosphorus. Not sarin, but still)

@HeerJeet Surely they think it's going to be a quick, clean elimination of a long-time foe. This is wrong, but I suspect this is the logic.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

An argument that's unwinnable by either. We'd have to talk about Israel bantustans, Golan Heights. So let's agree not to.
