Rush Limbaugh: Obama Says "ISIL" (Not "ISIS") to Insult and Threaten Israel
Gateway Pundit ^ | 12/08/2015 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 12/08/2015 10:15:53 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Obama calls the Islamic State “ISIL” to threaten and insult Israel.
isil obama
It’s all about Israel.

Rush Limbaugh explained the difference between ISIS and ISIL – it’s all about Israel.
Via the Rush Limbaugh Show:

I think most people are wondering, “What is this ISIL? Why does he keep calling it ISIL? It’s ISIS.” They’re not saying, “Well, that’s because ISIS he can pin to Bush, but ISIL he can’t, so he doesn’t want to –” I just don’t think that anybody in the Regime even thinks that people are going to think in these terms. I think there’s a totally different reason for this. And I don’t know how to say it. (laughing) (interruption) Well, it does. Snerdley is asking me, “Doesn’t it have something to do with Israel?” Yes, because the Levant is the entire region.

ISIS stands for the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, or Iraq and Syria, that’s the I-S, and ISIL, the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant includes more than Iraq and Syria. It would include Israel, which, to these people, Israel is a fraud. Israel doesn’t deserve to be there. That’s all Palestine and that’s what I think is behind the pronunciation, this insistence that it be called ISIL. He’s the only one that does it. I mean, others in the Regime do. Even the media calls it ISIS, but he sticks with ISIL.

I think he’s got a different audience for the term. I don’t think he’s talking to the American people. I think he’s talking to Iran. We just heard Walid Phares say that Obama’s linkage here is not to oppose ISIL because Iran supports ISIL, and it’s all to do with the sectarian violence between the Sunnis and the Shi’ites and the fact that Iran capitalizes on the sectarian violence, does not want it solved because they hope to end up controlling the entire Levant — uh, sorry — region. Didn’t mean to say that.

So your explanation makes total sense if people were attuned, the American people domestically were attuned to when ISIS began, when it didn’t began. See, I don’t think — I could be wrong about this. Very rare that I would be wrong, but it’s possible. I think the American people are so far beyond “Bush did it” and this and that. I mean, Bush is eight years ago now, seven-years. They know Bush had nothing to do with San Bernardino. He had nothing to do with Fort Hood. People know that when Bush was president, this stuff didn’t happen. People know that when Bush was president, there wasn’t an ISIS. ISIS and all of this happens to coincide with the election of Barack Hussein O. But the use of the word “Levant” has an audience in the Middle East. He’s not talking to us.

I’m sure President Jarrett insisted they use whatever term Iran prefers.

We’ve known this for what, a year?

Whenever Hussein says ISIL lately, Big Media covers for their god and prints ISIS.

The Fraud’s closest inner priests and pwned Republicans like Graham also use ISIL.

The “L” in ISIL is for Levant or the left side. That circled map explains it.

To me, Obama’s speech was code to his fellow mulims to assure them he is staying the course for the invasion of western countries.

Using ISIL to cover ISIS as owning the lands if Israel was a key code word.

I like to call it Daesh because I heard ISIS hates that term.

"Levant" is a reference that predates the founding of Israel. It is a code word that means a Middle East without Israel, before Israel, and now after Israel.

Obama uses it to insult Israel, to suggest that he's on the side that opposes Israel.

His administration uses the term ISIL. I believe he uses it to send a message to his true buddies in the middle east.

Any liberal with any thought process shouldn’t use the term because that would mean THEY are the ones being “teabagged”. *snicker*

Those days of threatening Israel are over...

When the Paris attacks occurred, Ann Coulter said that Trump won the nomination, when San Bernadino happened, Trump won the election, when obuma as pulled, shoved, kicking and screaming Sunday night, Trump was the new POTUS...and then yesterday after he come out with his’ lets hold on and wait and investigate things more statement, Trump is now waiting to take the Oath of Office as the new POTUS....

First, the overwhelming majority of them don’t speak English so they don’t care what it is called or how it is pronounced. Second, they don’t care what you call them because they have every intention of murdering you anyway for much, much less an offence. Probably by sawing your head off. If they are in a hurry they may just shoot you. If they want to take their time they will opt for crucifixion. For fun and entertainment they will burn you alive or watch you drown.

I call them savages.

Obama uses ISIL as a direct insult, not to the savages, but to Israel.

We learned this information here within a day or two after Obama first started calling it ISIL, and we said “wtf?”. It took a year or more for most people to learn why he says it. Don’t know why it took so long.
