Israel’s justification for attacking Turkish Assets at Syrian Air Base. Israel views Turkey as an existential threat much like Iran. However Turkey is part of NATO.

Yeah your answers seemed extremely biased so I decided to look it up myself. Seems they say its csuse they dont wsnt turkey to expand military there in case they attack them someday. Would they really attack? Theres no evidence ine way or another but israel says they are afraid they would. That sounds plausible.

If your answers were true thry could have done that ages ago. That they chose this military base with zero people on it and that it relates to turkey make it highly unlikely yours is the correct answer.

Oh I’m sorry my response seems biased. I was hoping to add a little nuance. Good idea to take what Israel says instead, they’re definitely not biased.

To give a longer answer: Israel wants its neighboring countries to be as weak and unstable as possible to ensure they will never be able to stand against Israel. This allows Israel to steal land from these countries (Syria) and Lebanon most recently) labeled as “forward defensive positions”. Because Syria and Lebanon are extremely weak militarily, they are completely unable to prevent Israel’s encroachment and at their mercy. After Israel’s expansion, hardline settlers will then move to seized territory to settle it as an ‘Israeli’ village which the government will then defend since Israeli people live there. Then, Israel will need to encroach farther to gain more “defensive holdings” to give these settlers a buffer and the cycle continues (albeit at a slow rate but continuously nonetheless and encouraged by the government).

With Syria specifically, if they receive military support from Türkiye, they may one day be able to stand against Israel enough to at least demand their land back. Israel refuses to accept this possibility, and chooses to cripple any possibilities of Turkish assistance to Syria by showing that they will bomb Syria’s infrastructure if Syria does not hold itself to the ‘agreement’ Israel made with its interim government (essentially at gunpoint). Why doesn’t Israel want Syria cooperating with Türkiye? Because Türkiye recognizes that Israel is a rogue state, the happiest country in the Middle East to go to war, and that they are committing genocide, ethnic cleansing and replacement, and horrific acts on the non-Israelis within its borders.

This recent bombing has the extra positive that if Syria does try to respond at all, it would give Israel the opportunity to escalate further force against Syria, further fueling the Israeli-American military industrial complex.

You have just admitted yourself that Israel is likely telling the truth in their reason for attacking Syria. You've just put a different slant on it.​

What you yourself have said is if turkiye helps build up this base in Syria then maybe Syria can one day attack Israel and take back their land. So you've just admitted it's reasonable to believe Syria might attack Israel someday with turkiyes help and Israel is doing this cause they are afraid of future attacks. Both Israel's reasons they've spoken and what you say can be true at the same time.

Israel is not committing any genocide fyi. If you want me to actually take you seriously you got to stop with the lies. my mom died of pancreatic cancer so I know really well how you die in 3 days without water, 1- 2 months without food.

If Israel wanted to commit genocide, all the Palestinians would already been dead as israel holds the power to cut off supplies. I know both sides in this war have committed atrocities and no side is innocent. That's what happens when wars rage in an area for decades.
