"Israel is widely believed to
have produced and stockpiled an extensive range of chemical weapons and is
engaged in ongoing research and development of additional chemical weaponry.
(Israel is also believed to maintain a sophisticated biological weapons program,
which is widely thought to include anthrax and more advanced weaponized agents
and other toxins, as well as a sizable nuclear weapons arsenal with
sophisticated delivery systems.) For more than 45 years, the Syrians have
witnessed successive U.S. administration provide massive amounts of armaments to
a neighboring country with a vastly superior military capability which has
invaded, occupied, and colonized Syria's Golan province in the
southwest."
