(8,377 posts)Are you seriously arguing that Israel cannot do these things:
1) Put special ops forces on the ground within Syria
2) Equip them with mobile missile launchers
3) Load those missiles with their own brew of chemicals that match any signature they want to match
4) Get in and out without being detected
5) Then use this to push Obama's buttons
If you think Israel doesn't have the capability to do that, then please say so unambiguously. That would be a really absurd position to take because obviously Israel does have such capabilities, and has never been shy about using them.
You can certainly make the argument why you don't think Israels would be involved in a "Gulf of Tonkin" style operation here. I don't have any evidence either way. But if you are arguing a) Israel can't do that, or b) Israel wouldn't do that, you are way out there.
If you are arguing, "Yes, of course Israel could, and they have done things like that before, but I don't believe they did in this particular instance.", that could certainly be a reasonable argument, and you should explain why you think that.
Please make your position more clear.
