"The
only prospect that holds hope for us is the carving up of Syria... It
is our task to prepare for that prospect. All else is a purposeless
waste of time." Zeév Jabotinsky, Zionist militant : Source - "We and Turkey" in Di Tribune, November 30, 1915
"We
should prepare to go over to the offensive. Our aim is to smash
Lebanon, Trans-Jordan, and Syria. The weak point is Lebanon, for the
Muslim regime is artificial and easy for us to undermine. We shall establish a Christian state there, and then we will smash the Arab Legion, eliminate Trans-Jordan, and Syria will fall to us." - David Ben-Gurion, From "Ben-Gurion, A Biography" by Michael Ben-Zohar, May 1948
"Regime
change is, of course, our goal both in Lebanon and Syria. We wrote
long ago that there are three ways to achieve it- the dictator chooses
to change; he falls before his own unhappy people; or if he poses a threat to the outside, the outside takes him out..." -Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA), From strategy paper #474 "Priorities in Lebanon & Syria", March 2, 2005
