In a shocking revelation, former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon (Likud), who served from 2013 until mid-2016, revealed that the November gunbattle between Israeli troops and ISIS forces along the Golan frontier, materially the only significant fight between the two sides, was followed up with an ISIS “apology.”
Being ISIS generally speaking means never having to say you’re sorry, and the group has no real allies so it generally doesn’t come up. That ISIS felt the need to apologize to Israel for the brief clash, which had no Israeli casualties, speaks volumes about the group’s position.
Ya’alon revealed this apology in the context of comments about Israel’s policy in Syria, and its repeated airstrikes against Syrian military targets whenever any cross-border fire is reported has led Syria to repeatedly complain that Israel is a de facto ally of the rebels.
It appears ISIS may see things this way too, at least for now. Despite ISIS making public statements playing up their animosity toward Israel, and their ideology clearly positioning them as an enemy, they likely see Israel as an ally of convenience.
Israeli officials have largely treated ISIS the same way, as while they sometimes express public concerns about the rise of ISIS, they have already repeatedly made clear that they prefer Syria to end up under the control of ISIS instead of being an ally to Iran.
I bet they did. Sort of tells you who’s the boss.
Sort of tells everything you’re being told is a lie
What’s a lie?
I’ve read your previous posts. Obviously your an apologist for Israel.
I’m not interested.
And yet the tax dollars keep flowing to the little parasite.
Former Supreme Commander of NATO and U.S. Secretary of State Gen. Alexander Haig described Israel as “the largest US aircraft carrier, which does not require even one US soldier, cannot be sunk, is the most cost-effective and battle-tested, located in a region which is critical to vital US interests. If there would not be an Israel, the US would have to deploy real aircraft carriers, along with tens of thousands of US soldiers, which would cost tens of billions of dollars annually, dragging the US unnecessarily into local, regional and global conflicts.”
Haig was obviously full of s**t.
Haven’t I warned you about repetitive spamming of the same copy and paste horsecrap?
That’s how he makes his living
That is like saying, if killer-cops were not wasting over 1,100 American laboring men each year, we would need to be bombing eight instead of seven nations on a regular basis.
Time for ISIS to shoot off some harmless rockets into an uninhabited region and make another video (in Hebrew for your convenience) warning Israel that death comes for them like they did last time people started to catch on …
ISIS … the only ‘islamicists’ who refuse to attack Israel and they apologize if they happen to get in a firefight with Israel.
What’s wrong with this picture?
What’s wrong with this picture is that some people don’t understand that “Islamism” and “anti-Israelism” are not the same thing.
Notes from ISIS apology letter to Israel:
“First off, we love your work”
“The grenades you sent worked great”
“My bad. We still cool?”
“We’re still on for bowling this Tuesday, right?”
“P.S. John and Lindsey send there best regards.”
When is the world going to invade, occupy and sanction Israel?
