“Ali Rizk, a Lebanese analyst at the local Al-Mayadeen news channel, told the New York Times that while the US cannot publicly ally with the terrorist organization Hezbollah, “what happens underneath is something totally different.”
Justifying the aid, Rizk said “Hezbollah is not representing an imminent threat against the world. It represents a threat against Israel, as Israel represents a threat against Lebanon. But Hezbollah is not going to threaten the US and Europe. Nobody said Hezbollah is cutting off heads.”
While Hezbollah may be benefiting indirectly from the US, it remains antagonistic to America over Syria, where it has joined Iran in supporting Syrian President Bashar Assad against the very rebels the US is arming. However, the ISIS threat has indeed raised talk that the US may even join forces with Hezbollah’s sponsor Iran.
Afif blamed Americans for causing ISIS by supporting Syrian rebels, saying “this beast which you raised up, as in past cases, you find it’s dangerous for you.”
Surprise, surprise.
Looks to me like O is arming all the terrorists surrounding Israel (out of necessity, of course, after he destabilized the middle east...)
The US has a moral obligation to help anyone who's willing to stop ISIS....we created the environment in which they became a force.
It is a terrorist group. Apparently, in the mind of this administration, they are “better” than “IS”. Wrong. Any and all ROP groups are against us and not to be trusted.
