It's a marked tic among conspiracy theorists that they will almost always project their own pathological quirks onto their enemy (and, more interestingly - but not as relevant for this post - gleefully embrace what they imagine their enemy's pathologies to be). In 1973 Israel's Arab enemies launched a surprise attack under the guise of a large-scale military exercise. Over the last week Israel has been running nation-wide drills to prepare its civilians for large-scale bombardment - not exactly an unrealistic scenario since just this morning the French Foreign Minister admitted that Hezbollah has restored its rocket capabilities. So naturally:

Hizbullah's deputy leader says new Israeli military exercises are intended to prepare for a new war on Lebanon. Sheik Naim Kassem also warned Sunday that the Islamic militant group was fully ready to defend Lebanon if Israel attacks again.

And naturally:

Syria thus fears that publication of the report at this juncture will lead to retaliation against Arab officials which collaborated with Israel to assassinate Mugniyah, thus giving Israel cause to wage an all-out war against Syria, Hizbullah and perhaps even Iran. Damascus, Syrian officials noted, does not want to give Israel any grounds to wage war against Lebanon or enter into a region-wide conflict, for which - as the current home front drill indicates - Israel is actively preparing. Fayssal Mekdad, Syria's deputy foreign minister commented on the Israeli drill, and stated Tuesday that "if Syria is the target for this drill, Israel ought to know that Damascus is carefully monitoring its actions, and is also preparing to contend with Israel’s military maneuvers and machinations."

It's sometimes useful to be reminded how Israel's genocidal enemies are - more or less - totally batshit crazy.
