* Lieberman: West should take similar line with Iran, Syria

* Palestinians inciting Israel with recent attacks, bombing

By John Irish

PARIS, March 24 (Reuters) - Iran and Syria pose a greater security threat than Libya and the West should treat those countries in the same way as it has Muammar Gaddafi's government, Israel's foreign minister said on Thursday.

In a brief interview with Reuters after meeting his French counterpart, Alain Juppe, Avigdor Lieberman also said a recent upsurge of violence on the Gaza border and Wednesday's bomb attack in Jerusalem were "incitement" by the Palestinians.

Western warplanes hit Libyan tanks during a fifth night of airstrikes as they enforced a U.N. resolution aimed at stopping Gaddafi's counter-offensive against rebels seeking an end to his rule.

Lieberman did not explicitly call for military action against Syria and Iran, but he said: "I think that the same principles, activities the Western world (has taken) in Libya ... I hope to see those regarding the Iranian regime and the Syrian regime.

Well, So Far We *Are* Treating Them the Same

When the Gaddafi government was simply shooting at protesters, the West did not intervene. Only when it turned into a military campaign with armor, aircraft, and artillery going from house to house and city to city was there an intervention. I would hope other Arab countries would be treated according to the same standard.
