Israel opened fire on pro Palestinian demonstrators, who were attempting to cross the "border" of Syrian and Golan. Obviously, there are demonstrations against the Syrian government by Syrians, and the gov has brutally suppressed these demonstrations, killing hundreds of their own citizens. nothing could undermine the anti gov efforts in Syria more than Israel killing Syrians - rally round the flag, rally round the government, rally round Pres. Assad in standing up to the Israelis.
the anti Assad demonstrations in Syria are good for Israel, just think if the syrian gov was overthrown, Assad is out, and a new gov is in that would recognize Israel, negotiate for some peace treaty including the disputed Golan area, it would be to Israels advantage.
but killing Syrians only increases support for Assads regime. Israel is self defeating itself. Poor leadership. israel is its own worst enemy - some Israelis understand this, but the leaders dont.
