Ted Bellman believes a peace deal has been made between Israel and Syria.
Apparently Israel has working behind closed doors under Turkish mediation to cut yet another land for peace scheme with Syria. Bellman suspects there is a relationship with Egypt mediated truce between Israel and Hamas.
It all boils down to the apparent success of convincing Arabs and Sunni minded Turks that Shi’ite Iran has become so much of a threat to the ruling Sunni Elites of the Middle East, that they are willing to make serious deals to legitimize Israel in order to focus on Iran.
It would be a huge coup to get Syria on board with the other Arab nations and Turkey and out of the Iranian orbit.
The thing is I do not trust it. Assad of Syria has signed military pacts with Iran. Syria and Iran has been a conduit to provide sophisticated weaponry to Shi’ite Hezbollah of Lebanon to the detriment of Sunni Muslims and Christian Arabs of the same nation. Since Hezbollah is a puppet of Iran with a goal to eradicate Israel, there is an essence of treachery in the air.
Another thing to consider is that the population of Syria is a majority Sunni Muslim nation; however the ruling elites are Alawites more akin to Shia than Sunni. The only thing that Shia and Sunni really have in common is the radical Islamic element hating Israel and America.
I personally have the opinion the Alawite elites of Syria are practicing Taqiyya with the Sunni Arabs and Israel in a Machiavellian move to strategically upgrade military positioning on Israel and the weak official Lebanonese government. This will enable a Hezbollah coup in which the Shi’ites become the dictatorial rulers of Lebanon while Syria will be in a position to enhance Hezbollah and confront Israel if the Israeli government discovers there deluded mistake of land for peace.
The Egyptian brokered peace between Israel and Hamas is also a probable Taqiyya situation in which the irony of Sunni Hamas receiving military weaponry and training from Shi’ite Iran.
So here is the land for peace picture I see developing under the noses of Israel, America and Sunni Arabs concerned about Iran: A Hezbollah dominated rule over Lebanon north of Israel; a constantly hostile Syria (supported by Iran) northeast of Israel in which if the Golan Heights are returned, a strategic highway for an invading Syria; and an Iranian armed Hamas and Islamic Jihad (not to mention an al-Qaeda and Iranian Revolutionary Guard presence) south of Israel. Add to this: I have suspicions about Egypt’s loyalty to America and Israel. There is such a virulent radical Islamic hatred by the Egyptian populace of Israel I suspect Mubarak might weigh his options to enter an Israeli invasion. Mubarak would re-establish a connection with the huge radical element of his citizens, Egypt (if successful) would be an Arab Sunni hegemon of the Levant to the exclusion of the designs of Shi’ite Iran and a victory would make Mubarak the 21st century Saladin expelling the kafir from Dar al-Islam as the Egyptian (Kurdish Muslim actually) Saladin expelled the Crusaders from much of the Levant.
Yes, I smell geopolitical Taqiyya among Mohammedans in the Middle East that is not good for the global economy and not good for Israeli Jews.
