Huh.

Israel's whole schtick is to foment hostility then point to that hostility as an excuse for the violent conquest that's the actual goal all along.

So Syria refusing to hand them the antagonism they so desperately want so they can use it as an excuse for their imperialistic desires is actually a potentially good strategy. And a cynically amusing one.
