He was PM in 1999 and Minister of Finance in 2003, he'd have plenty of opportunity to make "things" happen..
You’re completely forgetting that Israel objectives in the Middle East are different from the Western World. The west is interested in oil security with the Middle East while Israel buys little of its oil from the neighboring countries. In a desert environment, oil might bring riches but water brings life.

While the West is concerned about oil supply, Israel is concerned about its survival by maintaining security and access to fresh drinking water. While they have desalination plants on the Med, that water lacks magnesium so is good for industrial and horticultural proposes but not for drinking. The reason that Israel won’t every hand back the occupied West Bank to the Palestinians (even though Israel took it not from them but from Jordan) is because it would mean Israel would lose access to the fresh water supply from the Jordan River.

Did you know that Israel and Syria continuously argue/fight over two boundaries in the Golan Heights yet those two boundary lines are less than 100m apart? Because those 100m is the foreshore of the Sea of Galilee…. whoever controls that 100m, controls the fresh water supply from there to Israel.

Also, whoever controls the Golan Heights, is able to have artillery observation posts and artillery stationed on higher ground there.

It would seem to me that the best way for Israel to secure fresh water supply and security in the middle east is to offer incentives to the US to help make this happen. Without the US, Israel doesn't stand a chance in the middle east..

What, just like Israel needed US military support when it became a State in 1948 (oh, that's right the US had an embargo on shipping arms to there) or in 1969 or in 1973.

That would be my guess. I mean how do you get to be #2 ISIS and #2 AQI and now in charge of Syria without getting smoked? They have history doing this sort of thing.

Hey sarge, do you think he'll stop his followers marching on Jerusalem and Mecca next? And aren't they going to be pretty pissed off when they find out he was a Mossad agent now that we've exposed him on here?
