One of the militant Syrian rebel groups provided access to advanced U.S. missiles said that it is seeking “the return of all Syrian land occupied by Israel,” a stance that could potentially complicate U.S. military support to the armed rebel group.
The leader of an official rebel group sanctioned by the Syrian Military Council and in possession of sophisticated U.S. arms expressed his opinion in an interview published over the weekend by the Syrian news organization Tahrir Souri.
Ahmad Al-Sa’oud, who heads the rebel unit Division 13, was asked by the interviewer to explain “your stance, as an armed opposition group, on Israel.”
“We are for the return of all Syrian land occupied by Israel,” Al-Sa’oud responded.
Al-Sa’oud’s 13th Division was among the first armed Syrian opposition groups to receive U.S.-made TOW anti-tank missiles from the Obama administration, which is said to have carefully vetted each of those rebel factions receiving American-made arms.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Once again the current Washington administration is causing needless troubles and killing in the world by arming and supporting islamonazis who suppress, murder, and these guys even crucify Christians (and threaten the Jews). Standard procedure for the last five or six years. Elections do have consequences.
why is america STILL arming al qaeda?
HAVE NOT ENOUGH BEEN MURDERED, CRUCIFIED,
RAPED, and SOLD FOR OBAMA-theTYRANT and the EXEMPT Congress?
Maybe all of the globalist conspiracy stuff about Saudi Arabia running our foreign policy and the desire for pipelines is true? I can't figure out why Saudi Arabia is still considered to be a friend.
Why is Israel so shy about taking out these Syrian terrorists that the US is still arming? I'd think that they're a much worse thread to Israel than is Assad or even the Palestinian problem.
I think it’s grand the way the obama misadministration always arms and supports the right people.
And the cost of those missiles? One dead American ambassador, and three dead American heroes.

The entire “Syrian opposition” is NOT secular based, it is Sunni specifically and Sunni Islamlist in the majority. AND to all Middle East Islamists the state of Israel should not exist.
It is no surprise that those our policy makers are siding with in Syria are NOT on the same side of the long term interests of the American people.
How do our foreign policy folks wind up siding with those who have agendas not compatible with ours in the long run?
Two things are going on in U.S. policy circles with regard to the Middle East. Many are ignorant and intentionally sticking their heads in the sand and many are intentionally siding with Arabists and Islamists and do not have a neutral position with respect to Israel.
Evidently , no.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

No real surprise. Lots of "palestinians" are south-Syrians, unable to return to their families because of the nakba. In 1923
