All That Glitters is Not Gold

Have you noticed that Egypt and Saudi Arabia are courting Syria, trying to draw them away from their allegiance with Iran?

Of course on paper this is the absolute right thing to do, pull away from the fundamental Islam terrorist nation and align yourself with the more moderate nations.

Personally this troubles me because I believe the long range implications will be devastating for Israel and her security and safety as a sovereign nation.

If Syria does break away from Iran and appear, emphasis on appear to become moderate, then certainly more pressure can be brought to bear on Israel to give up more land specifically to Golan Heights.

The pattern that both the Palestinians and the Arab nations that lost so much territory during the  appear moderate, negotiate and given in “peace” what you lost and could not retrieve in subsequent hostilities.

One cannot help but be distressed to see how many Israeli civilians have been killed or wounded since the inception of the Peace Accords between Israel and the Palestinians.

If Syria wants to do right by Israel, then she can stop sponsoring terror groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, dismantle the 40,000 rockets pointed at Israel, withdraw from Lebanon and then there might be hope. Until then it is nothing more that smoke and mirrors.
