      Mainstream pro-Israel media outlets have acknowledged that Israel has supported al-Qaeda in Syria, and the founder of Syrian AQ is publicly cheering on Israeli attacks on Syria. But there are still Syrian rebel supporters who claim to be pro-Palestinian.http://jpost.com/Middle-East/Report-Israel-treating-al-Qaida-fighters-wounded-in-Syria-civil-war-393862 …

      Israel is ramping up its support for Syrian rebels in the illegally occupied Golan Heights. Israel is giving extremist-linked militants arms and ammunition, along with money to buy additional weapons.https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-with-eye-on-iran-israel-increases-military-support-for-syrian-rebels-1.5826348 …

      While the Israeli apartheid regime is massacring unarmed Palestinians in the Gaza prison camp, staunch supporters of the foreign-backed Salafi rebels in Syrian are publicly cheering on Israel's bombing of the Syrian government.

      The US is denying striking Syria for now, leaving Israel as the most likely suspect. Supporters of the insurgent “rebels” are not only operationally on Israel’s side, they are cheering Israel on. pic.twitter.com/hTxewKjynK

      Don't forget that a representative of the foreign-backed so-called "Free Syrian Army" traveled to Israel to ask for help overthrowing the Syrian government. Along with the CIA, Saudi, Turkey, and Qatar, Israel has armed and funded extremist Syrian rebelshttps://www.timesofisrael.com/syrian-oppositionist-says-palestinians-are-living-in-paradise/ …

      Wow, supporters of US/Turkey/Saudi/Qatar/Israel-backed Salafi rebels in Syria escalate their shameless attacks on Palestinians.

      This absurd anti-Palestinian rant also attacks pan-Arabism and progressive, secular, leftist Arab nationalist movements, instead posing US/Turkey/Saudi/Qatar/Israel-backed far-right Salafis who ethnically cleansed minorities as the preferable alternativehttp://archive.li/xzzNq

      Of course this anti-Syrian, anti-Palestinian diatribe dishonestly says "Qaddafi was killed and Libya was in chaos" without mentioning NATO's responsibility for this murder and chaos. Because we're supposed to believe Salafi-Takfiri rebels backed by NATO states in Syria are heroespic.twitter.com/Pyl3tjd5rr

      The Israeli army has officially admitted that it provided large amounts of cash, weapons, and ammunition to extremist Syrian rebels. This inconvenient fact will of course be ignored by the regime-change shills who absurdly claim to be "pro-Palestinian." http://archive.fo/PFSjV pic.twitter.com/jKnSJv4jGU

          The Israeli military has officially admitted it has conducted at least 200 airstrikes in Syria against supposed "Iranian" targets since 2017. In February, the head of the Israeli Air Force Air Division said they carried out thousands of missions in Syriahttps://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-says-it-has-carried-out-over-200-strikes-in-syria-since-2017/ …

          Israeli airstrikes on Syria — an illegal crime of aggression — have killed over 113 Iranian soldiers, officers, and Tehran-backing fighters in the past month alone, according to an estimate from the pro-opposition group SOHR (a rebel supporter in England)https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-israeli-strikes-on-syria-killed-113-iranian-soldiers-1.6489386 …

          Will the US now sanction Israel as it has openly admitted it is a state sponsor of terrorism? Unfortunately no because the US has also been sponsoring the same terrorists. Hypocritically the US sanctions Russia and others for assisting the victim of the terrorists, being Syria.
