Israeli Major General Nitzan Alon today told reporters that Israel considers ISIS “an enemy” and that it shares so much intelligence with the members of the US anti-ISIS coalition that it is “effectively” a part of that coalition itself.
This seems to be a significant shift from what other Israeli officials have said, with Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon only weeks ago insisting that Israel “prefers ISIS” to take over Syria rather than the Assad government, an ally of Iran, remaining in power.
Other Israeli officials have tried to present their position on Syria as one of neutrality, though Maj. Gen. Alon insisted that any acrimony toward Iran did not extend toward Israel viewing ISIS, a major Iran enemy, as anything but another regional enemy.
So far, ISIS hasn’t attacked Israel, but they too have insisted this is purely coincidental, with recent ISIS statements suggesting that they intend to start targeting Israel in the near future.
You betcha. Gen. Alon is a hardcore truth teller. Israel would never wage war by deception.
Israeli hospitals patch up ISIS fighters and have done so since it’s inception. Providing medical aid to enemy troops so that they can be returned quickly to battle is an old tradition in warfare. Some of the greatest stories of heroism on the beaches of Normandy involved American medics while under fire from Allied ships and planes bandaging and ministering to wounded German SS troops and sending them back into battle pronto.
Israel is an American ally against ISIS, if America is not still supporting ISIS, as much as it was when it attacked the USS Liberty in 1967 and mercilessly strafed wounded Americans in the water, killing 34 and wounding over 170.
tadzio308, thank you.
June 8, 1967, we will never forget Israel’s treachery.
Yes, unfortunately the politicians whitewashed the investigations and rewarded Israel by quadrupling their welfare after the attack.
I have followed your posts since yesterday and I see you are on a mission to demonize the Jewish State. How do you feel about the other 28 conflicts and border wars in the world today involving Muslim leaders and Muslims regimes?
The Israeli attack on the USS Liberty was a grievous error, attributable to the fact that it occurred in the midst of the confusion of a full-scale war. Ten official United States investigations and three official Israeli inquiries have all conclusively established the attack was a tragic mistake. The United States had announced that it had no naval forces within hundreds of miles of the battle front on the floor of the United Nations a few days earlier. Reparations were paid by the Israelis to the US Government and to the families of the victims.
Israel was winning the war, why on earth would they attack the US Military? What greater achievement would that serve? Please give an academic response.
The attack on the USS Liberty was not an error, act of mistaken identity, fog of war or any other lying excuse proffered by the Zionists and their ilk in Washington, DC.
The ship was operating in international waters on an national security mission, the weather was a clear, bright sunny day on a Thursday and the flag flying from her mast was the holiday ensign which is must larger in size than a normal steaming ensign. There could be no mistake it was a United States naval vessel as the bow numbers “AGTR-5” painted in white were easily visible by sea and by air. The ship was clearly distinguishable from any other surface vessel as it was the most sophisticated intelligence research platform built by any nation at that time.
The attack could not be described as anything else but a deliberate, unprovoked assault on the sovereignty of the United States by a so called ally of the American people.
Read here in the Congressional Record of the 108th Congress that honored Admiral Thomas Moorer’s service to our country which gives great detail regarding the treachery committed by the Zionists on that fateful day (see: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?r108:1:./temp/~r108aHSFSB:: ). There are also many testimonials of the crew who are still alive today that witnessed first hand the assault and were wounded as well.
You asked me why would Israel send its patrol boats to launch torpedoes and machine gun sailors in rescue rafts, or fly attack aircraft to strafe the crew scrambling for cover on the deck and drop napalm bombs to burn the ship. That is a clever deception to draw away from the fact an act of betrayal and trust did occur. You might as well ask me why a scorpion stings or a vampire sucks blood from its victims.
It doesn’t matter why or what reason it was done, only that is was it an intentional, planned and conscious attempt to murder a crew and sink a commissioned vessel of the United States Navy. If it wasn’t for the heroic effort and seamanship skills of Captain William L. McGonagle to keep the USS Liberty afloat, she would be resting in her grave at the bottom of Mediterranean Sea.
Captain McGonagle was awarded the Medal of Honor for his bravery in a shipyard near Washington by the Secretary of the Navy instead of by President Johnson in a ceremony at the White House as is tradition. The traitorous Johnson did that to keep the attention away from the press so his Zionists sycophants who bribe the Congress with 30 pieces of silver for their campaign coffers wouldn’t be offended.
“It doesn’t matter why or what reason it was done, only that is was it an intentional, planned and conscious attempt to murder a crew…..”??? Wow! That tells the readers everything we need to know about you.
I served over a year in a US combat unit, and once we even shot some of our own guys who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. It is called “being hit by friendly fire”. It happens, it is regretful and everyone is sick about it, but it happens in the midsts of combat.
This displays the real Israeli policy: villa in a desert. Israel is the protected, privileged villa. Syria is to be kept a desert of destruction for the isolated safety of that villa.
Israel won’t live with neighbors. It keeps them all as destroyed as possible.
We should protect our friends and allies. The West also does business with all the dictators and totalitarian governments of the Middle East. And they intern do business with the Western devils because “business is business”.
Well I would be happy to have Israel take up the fight but I am concerned that the ISIS would just remove the population to make room for new illegal settlements. The problem the general has is the history of Zionthism is a history of people like him fibbing and then actually being part of the problem.
The safe road is to cut the funds to Israel so they can pay the cost of having a military and that might just cut done on the wars in the Middle East. Israel has no enemies capable of attacking Israel and not being destroyed in doing the attack
ISIS is the biggest BullS–t story since Al Qeada.
A child should be able to see through this.
Can you be very specific? Much of what we know about ISIS is from their own handiwork, which they proudly video and post for public consumption. Like the most horrific pictures of the holocaust, which were proudly filmed by the Nazis.
Yeah sure, ANTI-ISISrael.
UN Finds Credible Ties Between ISIS And Israeli Defense Forces
In a new report from the UN, it is revealed that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) were maintaining regular contact with members of the so-called Islamic State since May of 2013. …. Further the UN report identified what the Syrians label a crossing point of forces between Israel and ISIS, a point of concern brought before the UN Security Council. This report from the UN strengthens the claims by the Syrian regime that Israel is heavily involved in operations within the nation.
This is part of a continuing pattern of Israeli support for the Islamic State. It was only two months ago that Israel attacked Syrian forces in opposition to ISIS forces. Israeli attacks even killed an Iranian military adviser for the Syrian military just two weeks ago. The U.S.’s financing of ISIS, part of the effort against Syrian president Assad, is well documented, as well. … The support of ISIS fits in with Israeli concerns in the region, namely that of Syria and Iran, and U.S. opposition to ISIS has put the United States in the awkward position of once again arming the enemies we will be fighting tomorrow.

‘General Says Israel ‘Effectively’ Part of Anti-ISIS Coalition’
Now I’ll tell one …israel has never committed act of terror …. not.
Hmmm
Well in a sense I suppose it has some truth to it. After all, ISIS has now been “effectively” neutered by the Russians. There is no longer any reason for Israel to continue its financial, military, intelligence, medical, political and logistical support. One can sympathize with Israel’s anger and frustration. Israel had a perfectly good plan to spend billions of American tax dollars to make sure ISIS destroyed Syria and install a puppet regime and they screwed it up. So it stands to reason that Israel considers the now nearly defunct ISIS mercenary forces “effectively” the enemy. They failed to deliver on their contractual agreement with Israel.
