JERUSALEM - Bolstered by U.S. support for Israel's strike against Syria, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (news - web sites) said Tuesday that his nation would not hesitate to attack its enemies wherever they are.

Syria's president countered that the raid — targeting what Israel said was a Palestinian militant training camp — would only enhance his country's power in the Middle East.


The Israeli attack, made in retaliation to a suicide bombing, raised concern in Israel and the Arab world that the Palestinian conflict could widen into a regional crisis if Israel begins pursuing militants in neighboring nations. With tensions high after the strike, there was shooting and mortar fire overnight along the border between Israel and Lebanon, where Syria is the main power-broker.


"Israel will not be deterred from protecting its citizens and will strike its enemies in every place and in every way," Sharon said at a memorial service for Israeli soldiers killed during the 1973 Middle East war.

4. Keep it up, Ariel, and you will be fighting the entire world

Sans the U.S., Israel is fast losing it's usual default international support. And with the shitstorm that is inevitably going to fall in this country, Israel had better start looking for a new Sugar Daddy.

"Due to continuing problems, discussion of Israeli/Palestinian issues is limited to the Israeli/Palestinian Affairs forum, and is governed by a special set of rules which are available in that forum. If a discussion is primarily about U.S. policy in Israeli/Palestinian affairs, it is still allowed in other forums. Discussion of other Middle East issues is also allowed. If a thread is on a different topic, but later goes off-topic and becomes a discussion of Israeli/Palestinian issues, the moderators may move the thread to the Foreign Affairs/National Security forum."
