If they were aware of the attack planning, then yes, it would be viewed as similar to a controlled burn. Israel has a lot to gain from this. The psychotic jews that run Israel would, without a doubt, trade the lives of those below them. It's how they got there.
Why would they think that they wouldn't be able to put down a resistance force? They have state-of-the art military equipment, unlimited funding and munitions, and retard-level support from Washington. A carrier strike group is currently in-route to the Mediterranean. Why would they think this is a war that they couldn't win?
