The Jews can be gassed again
By Stan Goodenough
Today, six short decades after a third of the world's Jews disappeared into the maelstrom of Hitler's 'Final Solution,' fully one third of Israel's young people believe that the world will allow a second Holocaust to occur.
And indeed, agonizing death by nerve-gas-induced asphyxiation waits for hundreds of thousands of Israelis just minutes away from where they live their daily lives.
Inside hardened concrete structures, needing only Damascus' command to fly, hundreds of long-range missiles sit on their launchers, many tipped with warheads carrying some of the most lethal substances known to man.
In the Syrian-occupied part of the Golan Heights 300 SCUD missiles – some self-manufactured by Syria – have been deployed.
But it is in Hama, 270 km north of Israel’s border, that the heart of Syria’s missile program beats, according to CBN’ reporter Chris Mitchell, whose story was referenced in The Jerusalem Post on April 13.
There, multiple launchers and missiles are housed in more than 30 bunkers.
“In just minutes, experts said, these launchers could deliver more than a ton of non-conventional warheads anywhere in Israel.
“Another missile site near Homs [50 km south of Hama] contains a previously undisclosed chemical warhead facility where a drive-through building leads to a facility where warheads are installed on ballistic missiles,” reported the Post.
Back in 2003, the respected Jane’s Foreign Report quoted a senior Israeli defense source as saying that Syria has “at least 100 long-range ballistic nerve-gas missiles aimed at central Israel.”
Damascus’ non-conventional weapon of choice is VX gas, one of the most toxic nerve agents ever synthesized.
The Israeli told Jane’s that, with the VX, the Syrians had balanced Israel's nuclear advantage.
Last summer Syria watched, enthralled, as the Lebanese Hizb’allah with its small and primitive Katyusha rockets dealt devastating blows to the Israeli military, economy and political leadership.
The hiding they gave Israel inspired Syria to try defeat the mighty IDF.
Syria is no Lebanon; the 400-000 strong Syrian military machine with its 10,000 elite fighters no paltry Hizb’allah (which has at most 11,000 fighters, only 1,000 of them full-time members.)
As was the case withi his father before him, Syria’s Bashar el-Assad is considered Israel’s most dangerous immediate foe.
His country has a pact with Iran and has warned that it will retaliate against any attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Jerusalem believes it is only a matter of time before the Iranians acquires the nuclear weapons it needs to destroy Israel. It is increasingly clear that they must be dealt with, but Syria is holding a gun to Israel’s head.
Israeli officials should be using every opportunity to relay these alarming facts to the nations of the world and especially to the United States: Today, right now, Syria poses a clear and present danger to the Jewish state.
The Jews are in danger of being gassed again.
