“America’s invasion of Iraq created ISIL.”
The ‘L’ in isil stands for Levant, a slap in the face of Israel by refusing to acknowledge the (legitimate) existence of Israel. Or denying Israel’s right to exist.
Is this what you meant?
“Levant” is a term that encompasses the entire eastern seaboard of the Mediterranean, from Gaza to the Gulf of Iskenderun. Israel is only a part of that shoreline.
the liberal political correctness brigade is about to ban the term “levant”, is it what you mean?
