Israel’s leader in Congress calls for no-fly zone over Syria http://thepassionateattachment.com/2011/10/10/israels-leader-in-congress-calls-for-no-fly-zone-over-syria/

While some analysts would have you believe that Tel Aviv was actively working to prevent regime change in Damascus, “the No. 1 pro-Israel advocate and leader in Congress” has just called for a no-fly-zone in Syria:

Sen. Joseph Lieberman, the lame duck “Independent Democrat” from Connecticut closely allied to neoconservative advocacy groups, has reportedly become the first U.S. senator to call publicly for military intervention in Syria. “I’d like to see us begin to consider some safe zones inside Syria, particularly along the Turkish and Jordanian borders,” said Lieberman. When asked by Foreign Policy’s “The Cable” on Tuesday if that meant he favored a no-fly zone, he replied, “I’d be in favor of that, yes.” While so far no other U.S. lawmakers have called openly for armed intervention in Syria, Lieberman’s remarks parallel a growing chorus of voices pushing for a “stronger response” to the Syrian crackdown by Washington.

How long will it be before Israel lobby front groups begin to invoke the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) Syrian civilians?
