Moallem: Israel's F-35 a 'security threat'
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem complained on Saturday that the sale of the F-35 fighter jet to Israel, as agreed with the United States last week, would be a 'security threat' to the entire Middle East. "We were told Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is set to announce a settlement construction freeze for an additional two months in exchange for a guarantee that the issue will not come up again and advanced weapons. Now the issue is not the settlement freeze, but the threat on the region's Arab countries," Moallem said Saturday.Moallem is wrong (I won't say mistaken, because he is purposefully wrong). Israel has no aggressive designs on its neighbors' territory, while given the opportunity, its neighbors would vitiate Israel's existence. Fair-minded people ought to understand the difference.

Never mind the F-35 won't be delivered for at least four to five years.
You have to wonder what the Syrians are really worried about.
Heh
"You have to wonder what the Syrians are really worried about."
It does suggest that the Syrian regime doesn't anticipate any real change in the Israel-Arab state situation anytime soon. Big surprise-not!
What would all those Arab/Muslim dictatorships do without having convenient Israel for psychological projection and transference of their own suppressed peoples' angst and misery?
(The best Jpost comment on the F-35 article noted the last time Syria challenged the IAF, the "Bekaa Valley Turkey Shoot", the Syrian AF lost, 85-0.)
"Fair-minded people ought to understand the difference." ---- So basically you are saying that the arabs will never understand it.
