Israel and ISIS – Butchers Together

is Israel’s main target in the region. Israel
isn’t happy with the tentative rapprochment between the Iranian regime and the
West – the talks over Iran’s nuclear
capability and the British decision to reestablish diplomatic relations. Yet in Iraq the USA and the Iranians are
fighting on the same side as they are in Syria.
It is not surprising that Israeli
leaders are increasingly unhappy about this and are trying to make their views
clear without openly speaking out.
Israel Secretly Arrests Golani Druze, Accusing Him of Exposing Rebel-IDF Collaboration
28, 2015

Until his release
in 2012 (Hebrew), he’d been the longest serving Israeli
security prisoner, having spent 27 years detained. News of his
arrest is under gag order by Israeli media. The gag is laughable since the
arrest has been reported not only by Syrian
media, but in a Hebrew
Facebook post.
Though Israeli security services haven’t offered any reason for his
arrest, it’s likely they’re angered because a week ago he followed Syrian rebels
to a meeting inside Israeli-occupied territory. The rebels met with IDF
forces who’ve previously
been shown to receive logistical and intelligence
support from Israel in previous reports here and in Israel and foreign
media. Al Maket filmed a video while the
meeting was underway, in which he described what he saw and offered it to
Syrian TV. It was aired to the entire nation and likely monitored by
Israeli security.
The Shin Bet doesn’t want any further leaks about such collaboration because
it allows the Syrian regime to paint the rebels as Israeli stooges. It
also gives the lie to those Israeli intelligence figures and journalists who’ve
spoken falsely about Israel remaining neutral regarding the two sides fighting
in Syria. Despite numerous air attacks against Syrian government
facilities, assassinations of Syrian, Hezbollah and Iranian military, and
security cooperation with rebels, Israel continues to maintain the fiction it
hasn’t chosen sides.
If anyone wonders why Islamists are beheading western journalists and
occupying Iraq and Syria, while carefully avoiding Israeli targets, this will
explain a lot. It will also explain Israel’s approach which is to weaken
central power in Syria, so that the Golan region closest to the border will
become a protectorate, as was southern Lebanon until Israel’s withdrawal in
2000. Having Syrian rebels under Israeli sponsorship ruling the Syrian
Golan will be much more conducive to maintaining Israel control and occupation
for years to come.
Meanwhile, the Israeli media is content to publish happy news about
the Golani Druze village of Majd al-Shams (home to al-Maket), which apparently
has become a playground for a certain hip Israeli scene which enjoys pub
crawling in the midst of Israeli-occupied Golan. If the report
is to be believed, you can hardly tell the difference between it and Berlin or
New York! And let’s not forget the glorious skiing almost under the guns
of those nasty Syrians who spoil all the fun with their inconvenient civil
unrest.
Israel Supports Syrian Al Qaeda Rebels including the Islamic State (ISIS). UN Report – Global Research
A report submitted to the United Nations Security Council by UN
observers in the Golan Heights over the past 18 months shows that Israeli
Defence Forces (IDF) have been in regular contact with Syrian rebels, including
Islamic State (ISIS) militants.
Citing the UN report, Haaretz noted that there have been several instances
detailed in the report that shows close ties between Syrian armed rebels and
Israeli army.
According to the UN report, a person wounded on 15 September “was taken by
armed members of the opposition across the ceasefire line, where he was
transferred to a civilian ambulance escorted by an IDF vehicle.”
Moreover, from 9-19 November, the “UNDOF observed at least 10 wounded
persons being transferred by armed members of the opposition from the Bravo
side across the ceasefire line to IDF.”
As per the details released by the Israel’s health ministry, so far some
1,000 Syrians have been treated in four Israeli hospitals. Besides the
civilians, some are members of the secular Free Syrian Army rebel group.
Israel initially had maintained that it was treating only civilians.
However, reports claimed that earlier last month members of Israel’s Druze
minority protested the hospitalisation of wounded Syrian fighters from the
al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front in Israel.
A statement issued by a group of Druze activists accused the Israeli
government of supporting radical Sunni factions such as the Islamic State
(ISIS).
Replying to a question by i24News on whether Israel has given medical assistance
to members of al-Nusra and Daesh (the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State
(ISIS), a Israeli military spokesman’s office said: “In the past two years the
Israel Defence Forces have been engaged in humanitarian, life-saving aid to
wounded Syrians, irrespective of their identity.”
The UN report also laid out instances where in Israeli army was seen
interacting with armed rebels. In one incident, the report claimed that the IDF
gave some boxes to the Syrian armed rebels.
intervened too early against the Sunni militants, and ‘not necessarily in the
right direction.’

Abdulla Ayoub claimed Israel was working with ISIS and al-Qaida to attack
Syria, in the wake of Syrian government claims that Israeli planes attacked
military sites near Damascus on Sunday night.
“This aggression confirms Israel directly supports terrorism in Syria, in
addition to the known Western and regional countries, raising the morale of
terrorist organizations, led by Jabhat al-Nusra, an arm of al-Qaida in the
Levant, and ISIS,” the head of the Syrian military said.
