So I guess Israel has some use for people being burned to death in cages, and drowned in cages, and run over by tanks, and blown up with rpgs and other explosives, and dismembered, stabbed, stoned, shot, raped, sold into slavery, and woth various islamic lunatics around the world pledging allegiance to this group of murdering savages before that kill a bunch of people?

F*ck that.

Why not use the Kurds to create a buffer between Iran and Syria ? Would also keep the Turks in check. The ISIS alternative is just too horrific.

seems suspicious to me. the link is to an arab news source. stories on arab new sources that make Israel sound like they want their arab neighbors perpetually at war with each other... tend to raise red flags for me. the arab mindset is a paranoid mindset (keep in mind that arab countries routinely "arrest" and "execute" animals for being Jewish spies) that believes that Israel is the mastermind behind all of the woes they face, both big and small.

here's one of many such examples of arabs "arresting" animals for being spies... http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/27/middleeast/israel-vulture-lebanon-spy/

Why should I trust this website’s reporting? The Arab Source?

No...it will drain everyone in the area....they lose in the end but the defeat will leave everyone soft and vulnerable.

It sounds like Israel sees ISIS as the replacement for Saddam Hussein. As long as Iraq and Iran were fighting each other, then they’re less of a problem for Israel. If one had actually won, they would have trained their sights on Israel.

Does Israel see ISIS as a counter to Iran?

How does this:

.. Israel” does not want the situation in Syria to end with the defeat of ISIS “ ..

equate to this:

.. Israeli Intelligence chief: We do not want ISIS defeat in Syria ..

If you hate Israel, just say so. There's no need to lie and distort.

Agreed. Be skeptical of course. I am. But NB, I got this post and blog from one of the most respected Middle East U.S. military analysts and senior analysts at the the DIA (and West Point). Col. Patric Lang. A lot of the guys commenting on it are also former military commanders/analysts.

My name isn’t Omar, it’s Chris.

And “Israeli Intelligence chief: We do not want ISIS defeat in Syria” seems to suggest that Israel does not want ISIS defeat in Syria.

If it suggests something else to you, then spit it out, Byron, otherwise shut up.

Thanks for your reply. We really must be skeptical on the internet. It’s quite ripe with disinformation. And that goes double for Arab sources and Russian sources.

I read your link; however, it assumes something not in the actual quote. It takes it a step beyond and then comments on that as if it were what he said.

There’s also this:

http://pundita.blogspot.com/2016/06/hello-al-masdar-news-thats-not-what.html

and:
https://www.buzzfeed.com/craigsilverman/fake-panama-papers-leak?utm_term=.xjwjQbnMlN#.wazwM8yR7J

Al-Masdar News was among the sites that picked up the false report.

Weaken neighboring Arab nations with divide and conquer. Yinon plan, it’s quite public.

We should be doubly suspicious of Arab sources and Russian sources (like RT). Those media are tightly controlled and anything that is not compliant with the government’s position will not make it out.

We should also be suspicious of U.S. sources - and all sources these days - but these in particular should be not believed until verified elsewhere.

Since when do Arabs, Israelis avowed enemy, report anything accurately?

Don’t believe it for a minute

Kind of like any media reporting something trump said....they cut stuff out, twist around, and make their own story
