Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Unlikely Allies On Israel-Syria Border, As Assad Watches His Country Split
2014-11-01
[IsraelTimes] In the Golan Heights border area, a strange reality has emerged: Israel and local Syrian opposition groups are cooperating in order to manage the humanitarian situation. And all the while, al-Nusra
...the current nom de guerre of al-Qaeda in the Levant, which isn't to be confused with al-Qaeda in Iraq and the Levant...
Front fighters, theoretically affiliated with al-Qaeda, are in the background. This organization, mostly Syrian, was born with the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
, and split off after a personal fight between two leaders.

#8  When Preezy Barack Hussein sneezes,
He's hoping that Israel freezes;
At least that it's chilly,
Which really is silly,
Since all he emits are warm breezes.

#2  It's surprising some times how 'pro' a quid pro quo can become. Someone will soon put a stop to all this perfidious rationality.

#1  The Israeli side also supplies blankets, medical supplies, baby food, and more to the Syrians.

Cell phones, vaccines and now this. Is there no end to Juicey perfidy?
