19 July 2012, Israeli and U.S. defense officials have revealed plans for military action against Syria.
First off, Defense Minister Ehud Barak restated that Israel will not accept any refugees from Syria, and will use the IDF to stop refugees, including shooting to kill: “If we have to stop waves of refugees we will stop them.”
U.S. Department of Defense officials revealed that they are working with Israel on a plan to attack supposed Syrian chemical weapons facilities (yeah, remember the same claims about Iraq and Libya?).
U.S. officials said they are warning Israel against military action, but at the same time are also working with Israel to come up with battle plans against Syria.
An Israeli newspaper has revealed that from 2004 to 2006 U.S., Israeli and Syrian officials held secret peace talks. Those talks involved oil revenues, water rights, the return of Golan Heights to Syria, and demanded Syria stop supporting Lebanon’s Hezbollah, stop supporting Palestinian Hamas, and end ties with Iran.
Apparently the Israeli attempted invasion of Lebanon in 2006, and the refusal of U.S. and Israeli officials to openly and officially announce the peace talks, ended Syria’s participation, because it proved Israel and the United States can not be trusted.
