"Reports of the attack raised the possibility that Israel, even if merely intending to pursue its own national security goals, could end up providing a psychological and perhaps military assist to Syrian rebels, who over the last several weeks have faced losses in a series of government offensives around Damascus and the city of Homs to the north...Syrian rebels...benefit from the damage to key military structures from the attacks — said by opposition activists to have hit bases of elite troops as well as weapons stores...” --ANNE BARNARD, JODI RUDOREN and ISABEL KERSHNER New York Times (online) May 5, 2013 at approximately 11:30 a.m. EDST___________________Michael Hoffman’s comment: Assad’s pro-Christian government forces have been gaining traction in the past couple of weeks against the Al Aqaeda-dominated terrorist “rebels,” thereby obstructing the goal of the New World Order to exterminate the large and flourishing Christian community in Syria, which has been protected by the Assad family for 40 years. As a result, the Israelis felt compelled to intervene on the side of the anti-Christian Islamic terrorists. As in Iraq under U.S. forces, Christians in Syria must be killed or expelled and the Israelis are helping to realize this objective with their completely illegal bombing of Syrian troops and facilities in and around Damascus.Newspeak watch: As usual, the corporate media describes the Israeli bombings cosmetically, as “air strikes.” ___________________
