Reminder: Syrian Nuclearization Is A Result Of Global Appeasement Of Iran

It’s east to get distracted by the objective awesomeness of the raid over Syrian – the idea of commando units hiding in Syria for days and then lighting up a hidden bunker for IAF jets rightly reminds people of the Israel of old – but it never should have had to happen:

Syria is known to have a large stockpile of chemical and biological warheads and, according to the news reports, it has forged a partnership with North Korea to possibly develop a nuclear capability as well. For years now, the Israeli public has heard that one of the consequences of Iran’s success in defying the world and developing nuclear power was that other Middle Eastern countries would follow suit. This is a case example.

Wouldn’t it be nice if once – just once – Israel did not have to risk treasure and blood to prevent itself from being annihilated on account of the world’s cavalier attitude toward openly genocidal regimes? And if, when it successfully pulled its head out of the noose once again, it wasn’t immediately confronted by a global din demanding that it climb back up to the gallows?
