#2 Why the fuck should Israel stop?
The entire land is scheduled to be part of Israel soon, just like Gaza. So why not continue taking its infrastructure apart?
The whole place is going to be paved over and rebuilt, just like Gaza. No sense in keeping anything but historical structures.
And the ones that are Mosques can be bombed flat, too.

#3 Why on Earth would Israel take on the headache of ruling Syria? Better all involved that they rule themselves with the understanding of where limits will continue to be enforced.

#4 From the brook of the Nile to the Euphrates.
Those are Israel's natural boundaries. Israel will at last have the strategic depth the lack of which has been such a threat to her people for so long.

#5 Descend, Joorong Scrooge o' the Joopids,
To judge and enlighten us stoopids!
O king of DA JOOZ,
Bring us down your good news!
[follows sound, very loud,
through a billowing cloud
to find Pilate surrounded by Cupids]
