Radical arabs learn late in the day on which side bread is buttered

"Help! My syrian jihadist friends burned my passport,,,,,,, no way back to Israel!"

Two israeli arabs decided to go and wage a little jihad in Syria and found that their new friends are not the gentlemen jihadis they were led to believe they were. Horror of horrors their new friends burned their passports so now they can't get back to the zionist entity, its rule of law, its social security and nice comfortable way of life.  Unsurprisingly the Israeli foreign office has not had much joy from the Turks who they called upon to assist in returning the bloodthirsty idiots back to their homes.

 An Israeli Arab, who joined the rebel forces in Syria, said that they burned our way and said that he could not return to his familyHassan Shaalan 

An Israeli Arab who crossed the border from Turkey to Syria and joined the opponents of the regime of Bashar al-Assad announced to his family that he was having difficulties to return to Israel because the rebels burned his passport. He said they told him that "every person who joins them will not return to his family."
Young's relative told Ynet: "A month ago my relative called and told me that he and his friend were happy. They told us the rebels gave them food and a place to sleep and taught them how to fight against members of Assad." But then in another conversation according to a close relative the tone changed. "He called back and said he was very afraid, and the two are in danger of life and they can not cope with the situation."

 One of the young Israelis admitted he was wrong when he entered Syria. He said that "the rebels burned our passports and clothes" he said.

Close family said they wanted to help , but "we can not do anything. We are worried about them and we are afraid they will be hurt. "

The Foreign Ministry said that "we made contact with the parties in Turkey to reach the two missing citizens who allegedly penetrated into Syria, and still no result."

The longer the Syrian Civil War goes on the less we understand

Whatever the case, no sides hold any love for Israel. Whoever wins this civil war will aim their guns at Israel should they get the opportunity. The only problem is that Syria is now the fault line for the Shia-Sunni conflict. The sunnis supported by the USA can not afford to lose this war, and neither can Iran supported by Iraq, Russia and China. The sides will fight to a bloody standstill. Lebanon will not remain inviolate. There is a reckoning to be had with Hezbollah which is shia and has actively interfered to prop up Assad.

 I also said that:

The sides will fight to a bloody standstill. Lebanon will not remain inviolate. There is a reckoning to be had with Hezbollah which is shia and has actively interfered to prop up Assad.

Little did I know a few weeks ago that Hezbollah is nightly pasting the sunni villages just over the border in Lebanon with hundreds of rockets. Who would have thought that all those iranian supplied rockets could have a purpose other than the indiscriminate murder of Israeli civilians in Israel's cities?

The most important things that Israel could have done, it has done. It has trained incessantly since 2006, has improved its positions where needed, has warned the warring parties in  no uncertain terms that if they attack Israel they will pay extremely heavily, and most importantly Israel has kept its fingers well clear of this poisoned chalice.

Those who like Jonathan Spyer and the Elder of Ziyon who have called for Israel or the West to invervene to support the FSA are wrong. There is nothing to be gained by actively intervening to helping one or other of the opposing sides, (even whilst Obama's USA is helping the islamists with training, funds and weapons via Turkey and Qatar).

The Elder says:

While defeating Iranian-backed Assad should still be the priority, the longer that his fall is delayed makes it more likely that the Syrian revolution will be completely hijacked by Islamists - and not even Muslim Brotherhood-type Islamists, but Al Qaeda terrorists.

And their goal is not just to take over Syria, but the entire Middle East.

The West has bungled Syria, badly, and things are only getting worse because of the endless foot-dragging. 

The West should keep out, must keep out, and whilst Russia is supporting Assad, can do no different, however much PM Erdogan wishes to drag Nato into doing his dirty work, have more kids from Estonia, Britain and Poland die in the cause of islamism.

If Turkey's hot headed islamist government allows itself to pitch its army into Syria, then all well and good. Erdogan has my vote, and i'll cheer him to the last dead Turkish soldier. But why should the West get involved? We saw what a disaster was Libya, and Afghanistan.

Spyer is worried;

Jonathan Spyer: My own view remains that the United States and its allies should engage closely with the rebels, identify deserving clients and begin to arm and support them. This has not yet happened to a significant degree and the result is the current stalemate. It’s understandable that many Westerners feel that given the rise of Sunni Islamism as a result of the downfall of secular Arab dictatorships over the last 18 months, the US interest is to stay out. Understandable, but wrong.

The US can either engage in the Middle East or disengage from it. The Obama administration appears to prefer the latter option. But disengagement doesn’t leave a vacuum. Rather, it leaves a space which is rapidly filled by advancing hostile interests – in the Syrian case Iran and Russia, with China as the silent additional partner.

These forces are currently backing the Assad dictatorship all the way. The Iranians, in particular, see the survival of the dictatorship as a cardinal interest. Should Assad or his regime survive in some form, this would represent a major strategic victory for the Iranians and their backers. It would keep alive the Iranian ambition of establishing a contiguous pro-Iran space from western Afghanistan to the Mediterranean Sea.

As I have said before Syria is now the fault line in the muslim world, between the utopian zealots of shia and the sunni caliphate aspiring fanatics. They both have an ideal, they both hate the other so deeply that since Sadam Hussein was overthrown they have been killing each other by the hundreds daily.

The fault line that was between Iraq and Iran has moved closer to Israel, but it has also moved closer to Israel's major enemies of Turkey and Egypt now. Both those countries wish to bring about Israel's destruction and have recently begun to collaborate militarily, but they must first defeat the shia enemy (they aren't above provoking Israel with naval exercises off Israel's coast  as a sequal to the Mavi Marmara stunt however). So the sunni world will fight the shia and keep fighting. They will fight themselves to a standstill, and if sunni jihadists wish to flood into Syria in ever greater numbers via Attaturk airport then all to the good. The more they come, the harder Hezbollah will fight, likewise Iran. 

Spyer believes that a stalemate is a bad thing, that "Should Assad or his regime survive in some form, this would represent a major strategic victory for the Iranians and their backers."
And he misses the point. Stalemate means that the West's enemies bleed, lose treasure and suffer. So long as Iran doesn't have a nuclear weapon it is all to the good that it emerges with some 'gains'. After all if Iran was defeated the now almost wholly islamist sunni world would be free to turn its guns on Israel. Whilst Iran believes its winning or at least not losing the conflict it will expend ever greater resources to win this conflict with the sunni world. Iran is the underdog in the sunni world. Iran has less than 100 million people as opposed to hundreds of millions of sunnis, 1 1/2 billion throughout the islamic world. Pakistan and Indonesia alone have more people than Iran. There's plenty enough glory for both sides although Iran has much less scope to lose population with a smaller hinterland, and Spyer wishes to break the stalemate?



Sometimes just looking strong and keeping out of other people's squabbles is the wisest option. Obama's setting the USA to help the islamists win will not bring any dividends to the USA in the long run, just as helping secular elements of the FSA will likewise do little if any good, especially for Israel. There have not been any attempts by the FSA to show any lessening of animus for Israel. Were the secular FSA to win they would be just as hateful towards Israel as the Baathists were.

And of course, when the islamists win, of whatever flavour sunni or shia, the seculars in the FSA will be slaughtered. The facebook democrats in Egypt had their nose pushed out just as the secular Mujahideen were slaughtered in their thousands after they helped overthrow the Shah of Iran in 1979.

It is better to leave the different sides to fight this out in their own good time. As Spyer keeps saying, the FSA is gaining in strength all the time. There is no need to hurry the process but let things take their course. Syrians, Turks, the wider arab world and international jihadists need to bleed just as did NaziGermany. As with the germans, only once the horror of war has thoroughly wreaked its devastation on the region, will its peoples forswear jihad and the racist murders of christians and jews. Germany did not learn it in WWI, neither did muslims when fighting the humane opponent of Israel. Muslims will learn to abhor war whilst fighting each other, in the absence of the exercise of human rights or of any acts of human kindness.

As with Germany muslims and arabs sadly need to relearn the meaning of war so that there will be peace for a hundred years. Rather than being a quick war, it should be allowed to burn slowly and methodically, long enough for both shia and sunni to learn to understand that there is no glory in war, no god who wishes for people to kill each other, nothing to be gained through killing others purely on account of their ethnicity and religion.

The evil of the man who wrote a treatise extolling war, murder, killings and the forced conversion of others will become apparent in the coming years of war, where those who extol jihad will be caught up in its depradations and will along with their families suffer unspeakably.

  
I wish it could be otherwise, but unless those who wage the war are allowed to suffer the consequences, there will be no end of religious wars directed against Israel and the West. Let those who aspire to barbarity and war suffer the consequences rather than those who aspire to humanity and to live in a modern civilisation.

As often has been the case in the past, arabs and their friends the jihadists find the silver lining for Israel in the otherwise dark clouds of the islamic winter that is descending over most of the region.

The zionist 'Operation Dragon', "Israel’s hidden hand behind Pakistan’s disasters"

It's instructive to take a look into the mind of a paranoid, jew hating muslim conspiracy theorist. It's all there in this piece about the supposed Jewish lobby controlling the world, killing their own allies and of course undermining the country of which the writer is resident in. This article about supposed zionist and Israeli attacks on Pakistan throws in for good measure an accusation that the mossad is blamed for 9/11. Hmmm, what about the Mumbai bombers that attacked a chabad center? Suppose it was the Jews again, always trying to garner sympathy out of gullible gentiles.

There's no need for logic in the mind of a conspiracy theorist. Hatred of jews is all that counts:

The zionist 'Operation Dragon' Policy’ aimed to create an all out ‘sectarian’ chaos within Pakistan, they hired mercenaries, drug lords and mafia figures to unleash the de-stabilization process.

Pakistan is just one cog in the wheel of the establishment of the “New World Order” which George Bush senior, part of the Zionist neocon cabal first mentioned in his speech to congress in March 6 1991 where he basically outlined a long-term plan for America to dominate the world.

According to Imran Hossein a prominent Islamic scholar, Pakistan is not such a just cog in the wheel, rather it’s a very important target for the Zionist led neo con cabal, firstly because it is strategically very important, secondly it’s a nuclear state and “the only Muslim country with the nuclear capability to stand against Israel’s expansionist plans’.

It is a known fact that any Journalist, academic or world leader who states that Israel was behind 9/11, or questions who is really behind Al Qaeda, will be ostracized by the Zionist owned mainstream media never given air time or allowed to surface as a leader. Pakistan news channels also mostly parrot the western media’s narrative, raising the question who really owns the media there?

If one nutjob isn't enough try a different commentator in Pakistan, the US 'ally'. With allies like Pakistan the USA is in no need of enemies:

The piece is entitled "Muslims not to tolerate US threats", and deals with supposed US threats to attack the muslim holy cities of Mecca and Medina. Well Israel is used to this old chestnut. At least a few times a year muslims in Israel riot over idiotic rumours about Israeli threats to blow up the mosques on the Temple Mount:

Ameer Jammat-ud-Dawah Hafiz Saeed has said that the Ummah would not tolerate the threats to assault Mecca and Madina from the USA, which has imposed “War of Crusade” on Muslims. He was speaking to Chairman of Difa-e-Pakistan Council, Maulana Sami-ul-Haq at Dar-ul-Uloom Haqania Akora Khattak on Sunday. On the occasion the leaders of Jammat-ud-Dawah and JUI(S) were also present.

“It is the track record of USA, that after facing defeat in battlefield, she always tried to create mayhem among the ranks and file of Muslims”, he added.

There is no point in trying to persuade such people with logical arguments. Any argument will just reinforce their prejudice, their projection of their own hatred onto others. Which takes us to the palestinian problem where the hatred and conspiracy theories likewise abound. As with Pakistani support for Taliban killers of US forces, the threat to Israel is just as real with arab hatred of jews acted on daily. Arson, stabbings, stone throwings, attempted kidnappings (20 last year), shootings, even bombings when arab terrorists manage to get through, and all this topped by the constant terror of Israel's border communities faced daily with rockets and mortars landing with a few seconds to spare.

Israel must never risk giving any more land away to hate filled arabs who once they receive land then demand more. We must always keep in mind that the destruction of Israel, of western values, of western civilization is the true goal of those who cry "aggression" and "occupation".The US should likewise forget about nation building primitive societies who take the money and hate the US just as much as ever. Those who attack the US must know only one thing, that if they attack US citizens, the drones will come overhead. That is the only way to defeat terror, just as the British defeated arab terror in the 1936-39 Arab Revolt, and again during the 1930's when the RAF flattened Iraqi villages using terror against Britain.

For those who think Israel can just give away their ancient homelands,  strategic territory occupying the hills overlooking Tel Aviv almost to Haifa, to genocidal arabs in Judea and Samaria, this video of the Mufti of Jerusalem in January 2012 explains it all:
