Horovitz: Perfidious Albion fails Israel

David Horovitz gets stroppy at Britain for passing on an opportunity to somehow in his view  protect Israel's interests by dropping bombs on Syria , and by so doing, lend succor to various jihadist groups bent upon the destruction of Israel. His logic is difficult to grasp, his impotent fury is palpable.

In an Israel beset by threats and challenges in almost every direction, an Israel whose northern border is just an hour’s drive from Assad’s toxic Damascus, an Israel being urged by the international community to take territorial risks for peace in a vicious, WMD-using, phenomenally unstable Middle East — in that Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be feeling a further bitter vindication of his long-held and oft-stated conviction that, ultimately, against all dangers, Israel needs to be able to take care of itself, by itself. At the very least, he might be reflecting, perfidious Albion could not be relied upon to rally to the rescue. http://www.timesofisrael.com/?p=655472
