So Hussein (Obama) Decides to Call ISIS ISIL and the Media is Unquestioningly Complicit?
Ainsley Earhardt: “They changed the name in the middle of all this to ISIL. They don’t have the right to do that. We’re going to continue to call them ISIS.”
Harris Faulkner: “So our president is tipping his hat to them.”
Earhardt: “They changed the name…”
Faulkner: “So, it’s the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Levant is a bigger territory. That’s why they want to embrace that name and it includes many, many more countries than just Syria.”
Jesse Watters: “And I think the president doesn’t want to have it be just Iraq and Syria because that brings to mind the president’s failed polices in Iraq. Which, he said the Iraq war was over. And Syria, which he drew the line and basically vacated it. When they say Levant, that’s broadening it out and it kind of doesn’t remind people that this is his policy…”

Isn’t the Levant Israel?
I don’t know if there’s anything to this - there has been confusion since day 1 whether it is ISIS or ISIL. The group now styles themselves just IS, if I recall correctly: the Islamic State. Period, no qualifiers.
Israel is part of what is considered “the Levant”. It is old Ottoman Empire border lines.
>>Ainsley Earhardt: “They changed the name in the middle of all this to ISIL. They don’t have the right to do that. We’re going to continue to call them ISIS.”
The reason they did this is because Obama GAVE ISIS GUNS AND MONEY a year ago.
I prefer ROT (religion of terror) ... it’s much more descriptive.
Levant is an area of the Middle East that explicitly includes Israel!
This amounts to nothing less than diplomatic recognition of and approval of muslim rule of the Jewish State.
And open support of the slaughter and bondage that would inevitably follow.
And it includes Israel, which is probably why Obama and his flunkies prefer to call the Islamic State ISIL. Obama likes to think of Israel as being under Islamic domination.
I am sure that was an insult, and completely intended.
I have no doubt Obama is intentionally honoring IS by referring to them as ISIL.
I have no doubt Obama is on their side.
While even the MSM refers to this group as ISIS Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, obama and his State Department refer to it as ISIL Islamic State of Iraq and Levant.

That is why words matter. And we must stand firm and not let this leftist fascist take over the language.
Over recorded history, there have been many names of the Levant, a large area in the Middle East. These names have applied to a part or the whole of the Levant. On occasion, two or more of these names have been used at the same time by different cultures or sects. As a natural result, some of the names of the Levant are highly politically charged. Perhaps the least politicized name is Levant itself, which simply means “where the sun rises” or “where the land rises out of the sea”, a meaning attributed to the region’s easterly location on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea.
ISIL created by ISIS (Internal Socialists In States) Send Pelosi, Feinstein, Warren, Clinton, etc., etc to fight them. It’s a war on women dontcha know. Hillary’s “patriot” war cry could rally the gang.
Personally i wouldn’t give two bits what they called themselves. Anyone or grp, etc, that dares to act like them should’ve been exterminated promptly & 3 months ago at least. No discussions.
Precisely!
I concur. We have an ISIS operative in the White House. No doubt more than a few in congress. Time to sweep and clear...
Many white house officials have a habit of calling Jerusalem, “J’lem”.
