Vice Prime Minister Shaul Mofaz urged world powers to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the same way that last year’s Western-backed campaign in Libya overthrew former strongman Muammar Gaddafi.

The British minister's comments came as Syrian government forces pounded areas in the central province of Homs on Sunday, in a renewed push to regain control of rebel-held territories. Activists said at least 38 people had been killed in shelling there over
Netanyahu has steered clear of explicitly calling for military intervention in Syria, telling Bild newspaper last week: “That’s a decision for the leading powers who are now talking about it. The less I say as prime minister of Israel, the better.”
A Netanyahu spokesman declined to comment on Mofaz’s remarks.

A foreign policy magazine admitted and as well a CNN article that the real reason for a Sryian intervention wont be about the Sryian people but for Israel and due the fact Sryia is a close ally to Iran.

Is it my imagination or does Israel exist just to stir the pot over there?
In Syria, the brutal regime of Bashar Assad is testing the proposition that repression works. The massacre of civilians in Houla is only the latest example of what appears to be a strategy of making no concessions and using maximum force. To the Assad regime's way of thinking, Egypt's Hosni Mubarak and Libya's Muammar Gaddafi erred by hesitating, emboldening the opposition and sowing doubts among their supporters. So far, Assad's strategy has worked. Kofi Annan's mission, which appears to be based on the idea that Assad will negotiate his own departure, seems utterly doomed. The U.S., the Western world, indeed the civilized world, should attempt instead to dislodge the Assad regime. Is there a smart way to do it?
For a number of reasons, military intervention is unlikely to work in Syria. Start with the geography: unlike Libya, Syria is not a vast country with huge tracts of land where rebels can retreat, hide and be resupplied. Syria is roughly one-tenth the size of Libya but has three times as many people. Partly for this reason, the Syrian rebellion has not been able to take control of any significant part of the country. Nearly half of all Syrians live in or around two cities, Damascus and Aleppo, both of which seem to remain under the regime's grip. Sporadic night attacks in other places recur, but they don't expand.

So in other words these so called Freedom fighters arent fighting for there freedom but they are for Israel interests as noted above.

Here's more news on Israel
Israel president hopes Syria rebels 'will win'
The Snake finally speaks eh?
Israeli President Shimon Peres urged the international community on Sunday to bolster efforts to stop the bloodshed in Syria, and said he hoped the rebels "will win" their struggle.
Sounds to me that the Free Sryian Army are tools of Israel apparently and its strange that Israel is only talking about this now.
