What it will do is make some of our allies like Saudi Arabia happy, and further galvanize enemies of the US in the middle east against us and against Isreal.

Why the fixation with Israel?
We need to worry about our own long term interest and let Israel worry about Israel. That’s how peace will be achieved in the region.[/quote]
There would be absolutely nothing beneficial to Israel if the US deploys military force in Syria right now. Though I think SDR is correct, he could have left the last few words off and it doesn’t change anything. There is little upside to US involvement and plenty of downside. There is a civil war going on in Syria. More people will die. Whether by conventional weapons or chemical weapons, in the end, they’re still dead.
(I do find it interesting that you singled out Israel as not being worthy of US concern, yet didn’t mention Saudi Arabia, even though SDR lead his comment with SA.)
