Israel's first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion once called the nation "an army and the whole land (a) front." It's the world's fourth most powerful military. It's nuclear armed and dangerous. It's equipped with other state-of-the-art weapons.
It's got an active space and satellite program, as well as biological and chemical weapons capability. It's generously support by Washington. Both countries menace the region and humanity.
According to Netanyahu diplomatic advisor Ron Dermer , Israeli aid will increase following the Boston bombings. Most Americans "stand firmly with Israel and identify with Israel," he said.
"If you can look historically, there was a big change after 9/11, and I am sure that (post-Boston), people will identify more with Israel and its struggle against terrorism, and we can maintain that support."
Dermer claims "Netanyahu is very prudent in the use of force." Palestinians know otherwise. State terror is policy. Netanyahu heads Israel's worst ever government. He's Israel's most extremist ever leader. He governs lawlessly and recklessly.
He spurns peace. It's hard knowing what he plans next. Allied with Washington, anything ahead is possible. Days earlier, Hagel told Senate Armed Service Committee members that 200 US 1st Armored Division troops are being deployed in Jordan.
They'll be positioned along the Syrian border. They'll include intelligence specialists and special forces. Expect others to follow. They're part of Washington's "robust military planning for a range of contingencies."
It's unclear if invading Syria is planned. NATO's been seeking a pretext to intervene. Obama called evidence of Assad using chemical weapons a "red line" America won't tolerate.
