For many Jews, the images of Druze men having their mustaches forcibly shaved conjure up memories of the Holocaust.

Israel’s decision to take decisive action in Syria in an effort to deter attacks on the Druze community has shown that it is possible for countries to work to preempt massacres or genocide.

In the wake of the fall of the Assad regime, Israel has been vocal about protecting the Druze in Syria. The IDF has acted several times when clashes in Syria between armed groups and Druze fighters led to the killings of Druze.

Interestingly, the IDF never attacked ISIS. Not even once. They only bombed the Syrian Army that was trying to hold them off.

Now the IDF is the genocide prevention team? LOL, sure...sure.

1. First of all Assad was the Islamic fascist republic military ally.
Shiite Jihad is not much better than Sunni.

2. The myth that Assad was against ISIS out of ideology is false, he was against any rebel. Moderate or radical.

3.Israel did not target specifically a unit that fought ISIS.

4. If not for ISIS, there would have been Syria Israel pact a long time ago.

5. There are plenty of “palestinian” ISIS which Israel has eliminated.

You're right. And Israel never attacked the Germans when they were invading Pearl Harbor. Not even once. Those dastardly Israelis.

They are just an offshoot of Al Qaida. Basically rent-a-Jihadi that Israel and the US have been supporting for our own purposes.
