However, I don't fault Israel for taking over the high ground as a buffer zone. It would be stupid if they did not. Just so long as WE stay the hell out of it, I don't care what they do.
The high ground you're referring to is Mt Hermon, mentioned 13x in the KJV. About half of it was already within Israel's borders, so this isn't the land grab OP tries to make it look like. Israel has been destroying potent weapons in Syria before their enemies can capture them to attack Israel with, this includes an armored convoy of 100 Hezbollah vehicles.
The suddenness of this comparatively drastic shake up in Syria after essentially a stalemate for so long is getting significant media attention.
I agree with you - meh. I'm not quite on board with glassing the whole region, but they are going to continue killing each other and we can't stop that no matter how we try. There are lots of good things that could be done domestically with tax dollars, anything else amounts to theft. We have our own tyrants to topple.
There are no good guys here.
