    Israeli military readying for Syrian refugees

    JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's military chief says the country is readying to take in Syrian refugees should Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime fall.

    Lt. Gen Benny Gantz told a parliamentary committee Tuesday that he expects Assad will be toppled by the popular uprising against him.

    Gantz says that would hurt Syria's ruling Alawite minority, so "we are getting ready to take in Alawite refugees in the Golan Heights."

    Israel captured the Golan from Syria in 1967, then annexed it in 1981 in a move that has not been recognized internationally.

    Gantz also said it was possible Assad would stir up trouble with Israel in the Golan to try to weaken opposition against him.

    Gantz's comments were relayed by a meeting participant who, under committee guidelines, spoke on condition of anonymity.

      How can anyone take Muslim history revision seriously?

      After conquering the land and spending nearly a thousand years subjugating and persecuting the native Jewish population-- the Arab ruling class realized that Jewish nationalism hadn't perished after all.

      Not all the degrading laws or the abusive treatment had suppressed the Jewish desire to reclaim their own country.

      Which the Jewish people began to do after the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the end of Muslim supremacy over the region.

      Naturally the Arab Muslim world responded with all the tolerance and reasonableness you would expect from people who were so insecure about their sense of superiority that they needed to pass special laws forbidding synagogues and churches from being taller than mosques.

      There were riots, massacres and bombings. Then when the British left, seven Arab Muslim armies, backed by assorted militias and bandits tried to destroy Israel. After only managing to take half of Jerusalem, along with Judea, Samaria and Gaza-- they tried it again nearly twenty years later, and lost them as well. And then those same conquering Muslims became the victims.

      These phoney made up people called "Palestinians" are pathetic caricature of what every Muslim terrorist is, a bully and a thug, who beats the weak and then runs to hide when justice comes his way.

      Muslims are furious warriors when their victims are weak, and a sniveling coward whining about oppression when they are finally held to account of their Islamic crimes against humanity.

        The reason dan says what he says

        Genesis 20:12
        Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
        12and also, truly she is my sister, daughter of my father, only not daughter of my mother, and she becometh my wife;

        I didn't read all of this pro0apganda, but I did find the last paragraph very very FUNNy.

        "Muslims are furious warriors when their victims are weak, and a sniveling coward whining about oppression when they are finally held to account of their Islamic crimes against humanity."

        when dan's inbred tribe made it to the land of canaan, his god said this:
        My angel will go before you and bring you to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites; and I will wipe them out. (Exodus 23:23

        The canaanites were "weak" as Dan put it. But dan's satan lord yawyeh, also told THE ISRAELITES TO GO TO WAR AGAINST ASSYRIA, BABYLON AND EGYPT...AND GAURANTEED A WIN

        however, the israerlites lost, and were enslaved. NOT FOR NO REASON AS THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE..BUT BECAUSE OF WAR MONGERING.

      And would any Arab country offer aid to Israeli refugees should disaster happen?

      I think not.
      • MouthofWar 4 mths ago
        Yeah Palestine did, and look where it got them.
      • Steve B 4 mths ago
        there was never a Palestine only Jordan. Jordan stole the land from the Palestinians
    • Steve B  •  Chicago, Illinois  •  4 mths ago
      WHY NOT OFFER the refugees a place on Cypress on the Turkish side.
      Any Muslim coming to Israel is a potential Jihadist against the state
      • saba 4 mths ago

      This is a bonus for Israel.. Half will be flipped over and end up back in Syria and on the payrole. Remember Eli Cohen number 2 man in the Syrian department of defense and 100% Jew! He is the main reason the Goland Heights is in Jewish hands!

      Amazing! Even as Israel is trying to do the right thing, the netNazis, antiSemites, and ArabLiars are posting their usual nonsense.

      Is Israel was sincere in accepting large numbers of Syrian refugees fleeing ethnic massacres should the Assad regime fall? If so, Israel would offer the a moral victory.

    • Ryan  •  Los Angeles, California  •  4 mths ago
      Israel is really getting ready for a desperate Assad attacking the Golan Heights in a last ditch attempt to kill the opposition against him and unite Syria against Israel.
    • Thomas Edison  •  4 mths ago
      The Jews are up to something, they never do anything unless they are going to benefit from it somehow

      The Zionist are just readying to take in Syrian traitors who have been actively involved in fighting in Syria and could be in danger if Assad prevails. Every one knows the Zionist have no love for Mualims so these must be traitors to the Syrian Regime. It supports Assad's claims that outside forces are at work to brind him down. If the Zionists support them, then so does US/NATO who probably armed them and trained them too, as they did in Lybia.
