Ya'alon is overigens allesbehalve een vredesduif en hij staat nog steeds achter het opportunistische, hypocriete en fascistoïde regeringsbeleid van Netanyahu. Je kan zijn uitlating over IS wat mij betreft niet anders zien dan een ongelukkige verspreking, gezien zijn uitspraak in het Information Clearing House (ICH) artikel hieronder.
Een paar uur geleden werd bekend gemaakt, dat er een grote explosie had plaatsgevonden op het internationale Syrische vliegveld van Damascus. Volgens de huidige Israëlische minister van defensie, was deze Israëlische terreuraanval gericht op een gebouw van Hezbollah, vanwaar wapens zouden worden doorgevoerd vanuit Iran naar Libanon. 'Toevallig' is Hezbollah één van de groepen die het terreurtuig van ISIS en Al Qaida bestrijdt.......(Al Qaida, in Syrië onder de naam al-Nusra en nog wat namen die moeten verdoezelen, dat het om Al Qaida gaat)
ICH bracht gisteren het volgende artikel, waarin wordt gesproken over een excuus van IS aan het adres van Israël, vanwege een aanval. Toevallig bracht Anti-Media gisteren dit 'excuus bericht' naar buiten, u vindt het onder het (eerste) artikel van ICH. Dit ICH artikel kan u desgewenst laten vertalen door onder dit artikel op 'Dutch translation' te klikken (let op de uitspraak van Netanyahu t.a.v. IS, in het begin van het ICH artikel):
Former
Israeli Defense Minister Confirms Israeli Collaboration With ISIS In
Syria
By
Richard Silverstein
April 23, 2017 "Information Clearing House" - In the midst of complaining about the Islamist threat to Israel and the world, Bibi Netanyahu conveniently forgets that his own country enjoys a tacit alliance with ISIS in Syria. It is an alliance of convenience to be sure and one that’s not boasted about by either party. But is not terribly different from one than Israel enjoys with its other Muslim allies like Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States.
So Yaalon enjoys the position of having little to lose. He can speak more candidly than the average politician. In this context, he spoke at length on security matters at a public event in Afula. There is always much that I disagree with whenever I read Yaalon’s views. For example, while warning about the danger of favoring too heavily one side over the other, he essentially justifies Israel’s interventionist approach, which largely has favored Assad’s opponents. Nor do I like his choice of political allies–from Pam Geller to Meir Kahane’s grandson.
But he did reveal how closely tied Israel is to ISIS in Syria. I’ve documented, along with other journalists, Israeli collaboration with al-Nusra, an affiliate of al-Qaeda. But no Israeli till now has admitted it has forged an alliance with ISIS as well. Below Yaalon implicitly confirms this below:
"…Within Syria there are many factions: the regime, Iran, the Russians, and even al-Qaeda and ISIS. In such circumstances, one must develop a responsible, carefully-balanced policy by which you protect your own interests on the one hand, and on the other hand you don’t intervene. Because if Israel does intervene on behalf of one side, it will serve the interests of the other; which is why we’ve established red lines. Anyone who violates our sovereignty will immediately feel the full weight of our power. On most occasions, firing comes from regions under the control of the regime. But once the firing came from ISIS positions–and it immediately apologized".The attack he refers to was never reported in Israeli media. Either the information was placed under gag order or under military censorship. It was suppressed most certainly because both the firing by an Israeli Islamist ally on Israeli territory and ISIS’ apology would embarrass both Israel and the Islamists.
Keep in mind, this is the same ISIS which beheaded a Jewish-American who’d lived in Israel: Steven Sotloff. The same ISIS which raped Yazidi women and threw gay men off buildings. The same ISIS which has rampaged through the Middle East sowing havoc and rivers of blood wherever it goes. The same ISIS which Netanyahu routinely excoriates as being the root of all evil in the world.
It’s common knowledge that Israeli foreign policy going back to the days of Ben Gurion has been exceedingly opportunistic and amoral. So I suppose one shouldn’t be surprised at this new development.
But still it does momentarily take one’s breath away to contemplate just how sleazy Israel’s motives can be.

Silverstein describes it as a "liberal Jewish blog" that "focuses on exposing the excesses of the Israeli national security state".

ISIS ‘Apologized’ To Israel Over Gun Battle

Written

News Desk
(ANTIWAR) 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.
