The common wisdom has it that it would be by far preferable to have a stable autocracy controlling the levers of power in Syria rather than some willy-nilly conglomeration of raggedy-ass rebels, protesters, and misfits.
Not even to mention the Jihadists who have taken over the Syria rebellion.
Here's the countervailing point of view.
The Somalia model.
Maybe Israel can get along quite nicely with a state of perpetual anarchy next door. After all, it wouldn't be much different than having a Gaza on the northern border.
Let the Muslims annihilate one another in never-ending internecine power struggles.
Feed them lots of small arms but make sure they never get any serious weaponry. If that means that Israel herself will provide AK-47s and RPGs to all factions in Syria, so be it.
After all, it's for the greater good.
