It is nothing to do with any imagined vendetta Jim.
I am just interested in your view of the air strike to prevent the arms shipment.

Israel is shit-scared that Hezbollah are getting as many arms out of Syria as they can before the regime falls. So Israel attacks sovereign territory which it has, at present, no military engagement with.

Well Keith. Let's imagine for a minute that the Palestinians are well-armed, and are involved in bombing convoys in international waters carrying arms to Israel, or, worse, are somehow diverting Yankee aid so that Israel can't use it to make weapons. Legitimate? You'd better answer yes, Keith. Don't want double standards, do we?

If you defend the attacks on arms shipments from Syria, you have to defend all manner of other pre-emptive attacks on sovereign territory, not just the ones that favour the side you're on. Agreed? 9-11?
