When Iraq and Iran were at war in the 80s Henry Kissinger said: It's a pity they can't both lose. Arming Iraq and Syria against each other now is a continuing expression of the same desire.
Prof Cole's argument leads to this:
1) The Israelis are apparently preparing for Cast Lead, The Sequel against Gaza, which will feature planes and tanks killing and injuring thousands more defenseless civilians--just as Qaddafi's forces have done.
2) The Arab League will surely advocate intervention against Israel--just as they did against Qudaffi.
3) Therefore Prof Cole will advocate that the US support a UN security council resolution authorizing a no-fly, no-harm-to-civilians zone throughout Israel and Palestine.
4) The US will introduce such a resolution, it will pass, and an international coalition will bomb Israel from end to end to destroy its air defenses, planes, tanks, armored personnel carriers, navy bases, and other targets including command and control centers--just as the coalition is doing in Libya.
But everybody knows this will not happen. What is the difference?
