The parable of Putin's visit

Quote:

It would be almost superfluous to mention that these words "were received with astonishment and disappointment in Jerusalem" (in the Prime Minister's Office they were even "stunned"). Not that that's surprising, or unusual. Is there any development that is not received in Jerusalem "with astonishment," usually mixed with "disappointment"? Quickly, our friend "fear" joins in: "Fear was expressed in Jerusalem" that the anti-aircraft missiles that Russia will be supplying to Syria will be transferred to terror organizations in the Gaza Strip, and that these organizations will endanger civil aviation. And at the end of the march of "fear," "disappointment" and "astonishment," her majesty, "our main concern," kicked in: "The missiles will slip from the Syrians into the hands of Hezbollah, and then they will infiltrate into Gaza and will be turned into shoulder missiles and will greatly restrict the flights of the Israel Air Force in the skies of the Gaza Strip," in the words of a senior military source.
