☆ Israel name-checked a notorious WWII attack to justify sinking Syria's navy
  + stars: | 2024-12-15 | by ( ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
During WWII, the Royal Navy attacked the fleet of its former ally to keep it from Nazi control. Though Netanyahu's history was faulty — it was the Royal Navy rather than the RAF that struck the French fleet — his analogy was revealing. The Kriegsmarine — the German Navy — was a fraction of the size of the Royal Navy, and thus too small to escort vulnerable troop transports. Vichy France would be allowed a meager army, and the French Navy would be confined to its home ports. This was no repeat of the Battle of Trafalgar, when the Royal Navy smashed a Franco-Spanish fleet off Spain in 1805.
