The link between Iran and Hezbollah will be broken, so we jews should hope Assad’s regime falls. I think Israel would like to give it a push, it would be so easy. But then Hezbollah would fire thousand of missiles over Israel and even though the retaliation would level Lebanon, a couple of thousands of Israelis woul die. So let them kill themselves and spare some bombs for the future.

Hezbollah is deeply worried about the future for itself.Having supported Assad,this will not be forgiven by its’ opponents in the Christian,Sunni, and liberal sectors of Lebanon.we all know what that means.Allahu akbar!May Allah give them, both sides, the strength to teach their opponents a lesson

In case Assad’s regime folds, I doubt Iran and Hizbullah would sit idly by waiting for fortune to smile their way.
In this game, the guy who is willing to be the most brutal are favored to win, and the obvious question is: Is there anyone in Syria or the neighborhood less casualty averse than Iran and Hizbullah?
Unfortunately, I think the direct consequence of Assad’s regime falling would be a bloody civil war, turning Syria into Lebanon, which will then give Iran direct access from it’s own borders to Israel and Jordan across poorly controlled war-torn region (from Iraq to Lebanon) where the stronger guy has the advantage
Ironically, sinking Assad right now, is not in Israel’s or the West’s interest. IMHO, the best case scenario is a slow loosening of the grip by the regime with the hope (as slim as it might be) of true democratic culture slowly spreading from the bottom up.

It looks like Assad’s end is in sight; I believe the fall of Assad will make it easy for the Jewish state to bomb Iran’s nuclear plants. I believe Hezbollah won’t have the same strength after Assad and I don’t think it will venture itself into war until it feels confident that it can survive.

One Step at a Time!
Get rid of the Tyrant and Usurper first. The future will unfold and the poor suppressed people
of Syria will find a new treasure: Their freedom! We should not weep over Tyrants in trouble!
International Politics or Politicking must always take a back seat to the needs of the
people! Their blood cries out for justice!

The Assad regime will fall, its a near certainty and only a matter of time. What will happen next? Most likely Syria will sink into a bloody civil war and Iran, via Hezbollah, will take that opportunity to assert its influence in the region, by further destabilizing neighboring Lebanon, and launching attacks on Israel. I am afraid the Bashar El Assad fall will only strengthen Hezbollah; at least in the short term. Ironically, not very good news for Israel and the West.

How can anyone know what will happen in the chaotic Arab world, aside from one consistent reality: Israel and the Jews will not find be treated favorably or fairly by any Arab or Muslim power or political entity.

It won’t really matter. The main point is that they continue to kill each other. Meanwhile it also keeps the Arab league busy with Issues other than attacking Israel.

Syria has had more than its share of revolutions since it was artificially carved out of the Turkish Empire in the interest of the British and French. Like the other Arab countries, the Arab Winter brings upheaval but no benefit tot he population as one set of despots is replaced by another. The vacuum that is created is a fertile ground for warlords and foreign aspirers to become empire builders or rebuilders (Iran, Russia, Turkey, Britain, etc.).
Hizbollah will likely gain much both as a warlord and as a puppet of Iran. It will have de-facto control over both Lebanon and Syria and will provide the Iranian theocrats with the opportunity to expand their theocracy.

Israel is strong cause Arab States r weak,due to the tyrant rulers,and lack of democracy.If the ruling group in Syria r out,and a democratic govenment comes in place,then Israel may not be in a good situation,specially if there was good democracy in the other Arab states.

How can ther be good democracy in the Arab states- They shout and go on the streets for democracy- Then vote for the Muslim Brotherhood- What kind of democracy is that.

Syria is a proxy of Iran and Hezbollah is a proxy of Iran. Assad is a coward. His followers have been under his thumb and his father’s thumb for generations. He is going down because he is a weak, corrupt, evil dictator who murders his own people without hesitation. He hides behind Iran. So let Syria fall into the hands of Iran and let them all fight it out. Syria is an enemy of Israel, whether it’s Assad at the helm or Hezbollah. They are both puppets of Iran, the real “Great Satan.”

Hezbollah will go down, so will Assad. Read all about it in Psalm 83, Isaiah 17, Ezekiel 35&36. KJV. As to the timing, not sure, but, when you read it, doesn’t it sound precisely like today?
When I get up in the mornings, the thing I look for in the news, is Damascus still standing? They are begging to be demised, they and their buddies with them.
