Why Is Israel Saving Islamic Terrorists?
Eighty percent of wounded Syrians receiving medical care in Israel are Islamic male rebels against Christians and Assad. Just 20 per cent of Syrians treated by Israel are civilians
By Julio Severo
I have watched some propaganda videos
of Israel giving medical care to wounded Syrians. Such propaganda intends to
put Israel in a very positive light in the public eyes. As an evangelical Christian
who supports Israel, I love every kind act of Israel.

A report from the Israeli newspaper
Times of Israel, headlined “Israel acknowledges it is helping Syrian rebel
fighters,” said, “Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon said Monday that Israel has
been providing aid to Syrian rebels” and “has been helping forces that are
fighting to overthrow Syrian President Bashar Assad.”
“Ya’alon said of the Israeli
medical aid to the Syrian rebels, some of whom are presumably fighting with
al-Qaeda affiliate al-Nusra Front to topple Syrian President Bashar Assad,”
said Times of Israel, adding, “Israel has treated over 1,000 wounded Syrians in
its hospitals since the onset of the civil war in 2011.”
Another prominent Israeli
newspaper, The Jerusalem Post, in a report headlined “Israel treating al-Qaida
fighters wounded in Syria civil war,” said, “Israel has opened its borders with
Syria in order to provide medical treatment to Nusra Front and al-Qaida
fighters wounded in the ongoing civil war.”
The Jerusalem Post added, “Israel
has provided medical assistance to nearly 2,000 Syrians… ‘an Israeli military
official’… said that most of those treated were armed rebels fighting the
regime.”
Confirming the Israeli reports, in
a report titled “Heartstopping footage shows Israeli commandos rescuing wounded
men from Syrian warzone — but WHY are they risking their lives for Islamic
militants?” British newspaper DailyMail said that elite Israeli troops have rescued
mostly wounded male Syrians from the Syrian war almost every night.
DailyMail noted, “Israel insists
that these treacherous nightly rescues are purely humanitarian, and that it can
only hope to ‘win hearts and minds’ in Syria. But analysts suggest the Jewish
state has in fact struck a deadly ‘deal with the devil’ — offering support to
the Sunni militants,” who are “members of Jabhat al-Nusra, a Syrian group
affiliated to Al Qaeda that has kidnapped scores of UN peacekeeping troops in
this area, and has massacred Christians deeper in Syria.”
DailyMail also said, “In the three
years that Israel has been running these operations, it has saved the lives of
more than 2,000 Syrians – at least 80 per cent of whom are male and of fighting
age – at a cost of 50 million shekels (£8.7 million),” adding that just “20 per
cent of the Syrians treated by Israel are civilians.”
There is a genocide of Christians
in advanced progress in Syria. Whatever Israel’s military strategy may be, elite
Israeli troops are rescuing savage Islamic militants directly responsible for
the genocide of Christian Syrians.
One year ago, Chaldean bishop of
Aleppo, Antoine Audo, said that the Christian population in Syria has been
reduced by two-thirds in five years — from 1.5 million to only 500,000.
Speaking at a press conference at
the UN headquarters in Geneva, Audo said that only in Aleppo the Christian
population was reduced from 160,000 to 40,000.
According to Breitbart, these
remaining 40,000 Christians are pro-Assad and fear the Islamic rebels backed by
the U.S. and Israel. They fear that if these rebels gain ground, Christians
will become targets, both for their faith and their support of the Syrian
government.
Who Is Fighting Whom in Syria — And What Has Israel’s Stance Been on Christian Suffering?
For six bitter years, the Syrian
civil war has been raging less than a mile from Israel.
Israel has significant interests at
stake in the Syrian war. Most obviously, Israel is concerned about Hezbollah’s
role in the Syrian conflict. Because ISIS and Syrians rebels are enemies of Hezbollah,
Israel supports them. From an Israeli viewpoint, it’s a case of “my enemy’s
enemy is my friend.”
Yet, Hezbollah’s enemies are
committing genocide against Syrian Christians.
Below is a summary of the main
military actors in Syria, and what each one means for Christians and Israel.
Assad’s troops: The Syrian Army is significantly
pro-Christian and, with the help of Russian air support, has been fighting ISIS
and Syrian rebels. Israel sees more problems with Assad than with ISIS and
Syrian rebels.
Hezbollah:
The Shia Lebanese guerrilla organization works hand-in-glove with Iran in
Syria. Hezbollah has been fighting ISIS and Syrian rebels, and Syrian
Christians have faced no genocide from Hezbollah. Yet, Hezbollah is one of
Israel’s most deadly enemies, having kidnapped a number of Israeli soldiers and
fought several debilitating conflicts with the Jewish State.
Russia:
Officially on friendly terms with Israel, Vladimir Putin has supported Assad.
Conservative news site WorldNetDaily has said that the Russian
presence in Syria is fighting terror and protecting Christians. Raymond Ibrahim, author of the best-selling
book “Crucified Again” on Islamic persecution of Christians, has
praised Russian efforts
in Syria to protect Christians, but he has condemned U.S. efforts to help Christian-murdering
Syrian rebels.
In a cover story of Decision
magazine, Franklin Graham, son of the famous evangelist Billy Graham, said,
I have never heard Putin quote the Bible,
but during his 2012 election campaign, he met with church leaders in Moscow and
vowed to protect persecuted Christians around the world. That is one
justification for his support of the Assad regime in Syria.
Syria, for all its problems, at least has a
constitution that guarantees equal protection of citizens. Around the world, we
have seen that this is essential where Christians are a minority and are not
protected. The radicals in Syria want an Islamic constitution based on sharia
law.
Christians have lived in Syria since the
time of Christ. The Apostle Paul was on the road to Damascus when he met
Christ. Christians in Syria know that if the radicals overthrow Assad, there
will be widespread persecution and wholesale slaughter of Christians.
ISIS:
The brutal jihadi group, which has become the number one enemy of Christians in
Syria and Iraq, controls areas of Iraq and Syria which is home to five million
people and is thought to earn more than $2billion a year.
Saudi
Arabia: The Saudi Islamic dictatorship is
the principal financial backer of the Sunni militants, including Islamist
rebels linked to al-Qaida, who are fighting Assad. ISIS is also a Sunni group.
Saudi Arabia is engaged in a long-term struggle for supremacy with Iran. It is
understood that Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf states have a working
relationship with Israel against Assad.
Shia militia: Iran has mobilized a
multinational network of Shia militias in Syria to fight the Sunni networks of
ISIS and al-Qaida. Israel sees Shia threat as a bigger than the ISIS threat.
But for Syrian Christians, the ISIS threat is bigger than the Shia threat.
Al-Qaida:
Various al-Qaida affiliate groups are fighting Assad in Syria, including the
feared al-Nusra Front, also known as the Syrian al-Qaida.
Syrian
rebels: A range of Islamic militants
opposed to Assad are referred to generally as the Free Syrian Army. They have
no immediate desire to fight Israel, but share the general hatred of the Jewish
state that dominates in Syria. They have also been slaughtering Syrian
Christians. They receive support from the United States and Europe.
United
States: As a secretary of State under
Obama and a staunch defender of the military-industrial-intelligence complex, Hillary
Clinton helped to spread violence stretching from Libya to Afghanistan.
Perhaps her crowning disaster was
her relentless promotion of CIA-led regime change in Syria. With CIA support,
which gave and gives arms and training to Islamic rebels, Hillary wanted to
overthrow Bashir al-Assad and she said that it would be quick, costless, and
surely successful. In August 2011, Hillary led the U.S. into disaster with her
declaration Assad must “get out of the way,” backed by secret CIA operations.
Six years later, no place on the
planet is more ravaged by unending war. The Syrian Christian population has
been virtually decimated, more than 10 million Syrians are displaced, and Syrian
refugees are undermining the political stability of the European Union. Into
the chaos created by the secret CIA-Saudi operations to overthrow Assad, ISIS
has filled the vacuum, and has used Syria as the base for worldwide terrorist
attacks.
Trump
seems to have learnt no lessons from Hillary’s disasters in Syria and he has
been buying into the CIA propaganda that Assad should be deposed. As the Obama
administration, the Trump administration has not done anything to rescue Syrian
Christians from Hillary’s and Obama’s violence in Syria.
This is the chaotic picture in
Syria and U.S. interventions, with Saudi assistance, are not helping
Christians.
Israel is absolutely right in fighting
for its Promised Land, especially against the Palestinian aggression. But
Israel is absolutely wrong in helping Islamic radicals.
Israel should use its high military
capabilities, and its elite troops, to rescue Christian victims in Syria. But by
helping Islamic terrorists who are committing genocide against Christians, Israel
is backsliding from God’s purpose.
God is absolutely right when he
says about Israel: “My people are bent
to backsliding from me.” (Hosea 11:7 Authorized Version)
The
United States has received thousands of Islamic Syrian refugees and granted
them visas, housing, food and jobs. Israel has treated thousands of wounded Islamic
Syrians. Could not they do much more for Syrian Christians? Cannot they receive
thousands of Christians in their lands? Why not?
Both
Israel and the United States could use their commandos to rescue Christians
from the genocide ISIS and al-Qaida are committing against them. Why do not
they do it?
