What constitutes a proper Israeli response to the events in Syria -<br />where around 6,000 civilians have been killed - in the revolt against<br />President Bashar Assad? Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman believes it<br />is time for Israel to condemn the massacres while Prime Minister<br />Benjamin Netanyahu prefers to remain ambiguous. The ministry issued a<br />recommendation to the effect that Israel has a moral obligation to<br />condemn the mass killings and demand Assad's ouster. The diplomats say<br />that if the Arab League, the United States and the European Union are<br />taking a firm position against Damascus, Israel can't espouse an<br />unclear policy and be the last country in the West to take a stance.
