75. Israel and Saudi Arabia have been working together

for a long time, and I do believe they are quite fond of each other. I don't think either one is a stooge of the other but their interests coincide enough that they freely assist each other.

If it is widely known that Israel openly supports the idea of the head-chopping extremists taking over a country right next door to them, it would damage the dominant "war on terror" narrative (lie, rather) that the al-Qa'ida types are an existential threat to the Western world, and that would be bad for the military industrial complex and the various corporations and super-wealthy whose interests it supports. This is why no one in the Western media has questioned Israel's utter silence on the near-global confrontation taking place right next to them. In fact, the whole "war on terror" narrative is starting to fall apart at the seams and the lies told to garner public support for military intervention is looking shaky as hell.

I had to laugh at your claim that Israel was helping mend injured al-Nusra fighters out of kindness because we saw how caring Israel is last year when they were deliberately bombing hospitals, shelters and schools full of sick people, elderly people, children and innocent people trying to hide from "smart" bombs.

Israel has long hated the Assad clan and it would be ridiculous to think they would support Bashar. But it's all the more reason to believe they are helping the Islamic radicals and hoping they take over Syria (and we saw what these same, CIA/NATO-backed extremists did to Libya).

It's not really that difficult to see, leftynyc. I'm not criticizing Israel any more harshly than I criticize the US, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and all of the other countries who are telling the American public we're fighting crazy people whom our leaders are actually helping and rooting for.
