"Death to Israel" chant the Syrian protestors as Israeli politicians fool themselves on Syria

In this video Syrian protestors are seen chanting 'death to Israel.' 

Having dealt with Islamists for a long time one would have hoped that Israel might not harbour the same idiotic fanataises about the goodness of the Syrian rebels blighting the Western political scene. Apparently this is not the case.

Israeli policy makers and politicians seem to be convincing themselves that Syria's Islamist opposition has defied the very essence of their ideology and developed a strong love for Israel -

"Palmor (Yigal) said Israel has no idea who might replace Assad. But Israeli security officials believe that if Assad goes, there is a good chance that a moderate, Sunni, Western-leaning government will take his place.

Officials said this assessment is based on "the latest intelligence" and the belief that Syria is far different from Egypt, where Islamic parties have risen in influence since President Hosni Mubarak was ousted last year. They declined to elaborate and acknowledged they are uncertain what lies ahead, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were discussing a sensitive security assessment."

If this is what Israel's 'intelligence' is telling them then their intelligence community is completely useless and a palde shadow of what it once was. 

The idiocy continues...

"Alon Liel, a former director general of the Israeli Foreign Ministry, said he met with opposition figures in Turkey several weeks ago. Liel said he believes fundamentalist Muslims are not so influential in Syria as they are in Egypt.

Israeli opposition lawmaker Isaac Herzog said in late February that he had held meetings with Syrian opposition figures in Europe and the U.S., and that he believed they were ready for peaceful relations with Israel.

 Likewise, Ayoub Kara, a Druse Arab lawmaker from Netanyahu's Likud Party, said he has been approached by members of Syria's opposition. "From all the talks I've had with them not a single word was said against Israel, the opposite is true, they say they will strive for peace with Israel," he said."

So, Israeli politicians actually believe that hard core Jihadists who have never hidden their desire to annihalate  Jews have now become Juadeophile democrats desperate for peace with Israel.

You couldn't make it up!
