himself saying that Israel prefers the ISIS crazies over Assad's secular government and you're still confused?

Perhaps I shouldn't have said "widely known" because not too many Americans seek out news outside of the standard American fare that passes as journalism, so maybe "widely known" was an exaggeration. There is a virtual blackout of most news that could potentially cast Israel in a negative light here in the US, so yeah, most people wouldn't even think to ask the question "Why is Israel being so quiet about what's going on in the Middle East?"

This information is "widely known" however by those of us who have been paying attention and asking the questions our leaders and media shy away from. You need to learn to draw your own conclusions from all the information you have at your disposal, and don't get snippy because it's not something you prefer to hear or think about.

If Israel was against the idea of having ISIS as neighbors, they would have probably contributed at least one damn bullet to stopping them, but that hasn't happened. What conclusion do you draw from that, if you can?
