In a new sign of the link between armed militants ists in Syria and the Israeli occupation, a leader of the armed groups fighting in Syria confirmed that "Israel" and the armed groups "are united in fighting a common enemy, which is Iran."

In response to a question about "the role that Israel and the United States should play in Syria," Abu Abdo stated that the militants "expect a coordinated effort to eliminate the enemy."

He continued, "if we do not know how to seize this historic opportunity, the situation will worsen," also expressing "respect for Israel and the United States, and solidarity with their actions against Iran."

I checked this dude out on notoriously Western aligned wikipedia and even they're admitting that he spent six years working for ISIS along with his al-Nusra and al-Qaeda "service."

The YouTube comments are all "oh finally a good moderate leader who will bring peace and democracy to Syria." Disgusting.

This reminds me of the recent Fox News interview with Saudi's MBS.

At first it felt weird Fox was inviting an Arab guy over and asking him "tough questions" where he was able to wiggle his way out of blame by denying responsibility about Khassoggi and saying Saudi is modernizing and will do better in the future.

After learning MBS was in bed with Trump it made a lot more sense why Fox was suddenly so open about Arabs.

A lot of people are very confused about Syria.

I hope this helps clear things up.
