Celebrations, Relief at Elimination of Teens' Murderers-IDF officials, MKs, and public figures say murderers' elimination was 'just in time' for the New Year.By Tova Dvorin-First Publish: 9/23/2014, 9:23 AM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
Minutes after a gag order was lifted, revealing that the IDF had eliminated her son's murderers overnight, Rachel Frenkel (mother of murdered teen Naftali, hy"d) feels a sense of relief. "Throughout the period [after the murders], there were two people going around there with two pistols and automatic weapons, who have nothing to lose," she recounted to Walla! News Tuesday morning. "We were afraid that more innocent people would be hurt, and we are pleased that this was resolved without any injuries to our soldiers.""We know that the Shin Bet [Israel Security Agency - ed.] and the military were working on it intensely," she added. "I'm glad they were able to accomplish their mission without harming soldiers."Reactions from military officials and MKs have begun to pour in as well. "On the eve of the Jewish New Year, Operation Brothers' Keeper - which began Friday, June 13, 2014 and continued with determination since then - came to an end," IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz said Monday. "We promised the Sha'ar, Yifrah, and Frenkel families that we would get to their children's murderers, and we did that this morning."The Chief of Staff thanked the soldiers and officers who worked constantly to find the murderers, adding that "there is no consolation to the families mourning this difficult loss, but I hope that they are somewhat relieved upon receiving news that we hit their children's murderers." "The success of the security forces in destroying these vile terrorists is Israel's success as a whole, and removes a curse in honor of the new year," Housing and Construction Minister Uri Ariel (Jewish Home) said Monday. "I congratulate the security forces on the successful assassination and wish us all - especially the Frenkel, Sha'ar, and Yifrah families - a better year." "I congratulate the army and security forces on the successful operation," Deputy Education Minister and MK Avi Wortzman (Jewish Home) stated. "The elimination of the murderers is a clear warning sign to all who wish ill upon us.""Our Army will continue to reach - and harm - terrorists, no matter where they are," he added. MK Danny Danon (Likud) sent "a hug of condolence" to the three families, in his words."Terrorists will be eliminated - this is a clear message to all our enemies," Danon said. "We will not rest until we settle the score with terrorists, no matter where they hide.""I received the news of the elimination of the murderers of Naftali, Gilad, and Eyal while in the Cave of the Patriarchs [in Hevron], the same place where I - like many others - prayed for the boys' safety," MK Orit Struk (Jewish Home) reflected. "Even after the government's decision to re-incarcerate terrorists released in the [2011] Gilad Shalit deal, and after we passed two laws to reduce the likelihood of releasing more terrorist prisoners, there is no doubt that eliminating these brutal terrorists is the best response to Arab terror."MK Alex Miller (Yisrael Beytenu) welcomed the elimination of the murderers of three boys."I would like to congratulate the security services of the State of Israel on the successful operation against the murderers of three boys, Gilad, Naftali, and Eyal," he said. "Israel's message to the terrorist movement Hamas is purely and will not be silent and will not rest until we will exploit to justice all those despicable terrorists who seek to harm our citizens dear. ""Israel has proven once again that we know to bring to justice anyone who dares to raise his hand against us," MK Ze'ev Elkin (Likud) said. "I urge the Minister of Defense to delay the return of their bodies of the dastardly Hamas terrorists, who will not return to us the bodies of (murdered soldiers) Hadar Goldin and Oron Shaul, hy"d." MK Nissan Slomiansnki (Jewish Home) agreed. "I commend the Israel Security Agency, who sends a message to all terrorists that there is a law, there is a judge, and there is an end to every terrorist." "The successful operation today is proof that there is no alternative to settling Judea and Samaria," he added. The Jewish community of Hevron also welcomed the news."The nation of Israel expected justice to be served, and it was done," the community said in a statement. "The Jewish people awaited this ahead of Rosh Hashanah [the Jewish New Year]. The full answer [to Arab terrorism] will be when the government of Israel welcomes the building and development of the Jewish community in Hevron with the respect due to the city of our Patriarchs."
Murderers of the Three Teens Eliminated-Marwan Kawasmeh and Amer Abu Eisha of Hevron located and killed in exchange of gunfire.By Arutz Sheva-First Publish: 9/23/2014, 7:26 AM-ISRAEL NATIONALNEWS
Marwan Kawasmeh and Amer Abu Eisha of Hevron, who abducted and murdered three yeshiva boys Eyal Yifrah, Gilad Sha'ar, Naftali Frenkel in June, were located and killed in exchange of gunfire early Tuesday morning.The operation was carried out by the Yamam, a special unit of the Border Police, and the IDF, in Hevron. An attempt was made to arrest the suspects but an exchange of fire developed in which they were killed.The operation was made possible by the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), which located the murderers' hideout. In the last few days, several Hamas suspects were arrested and questioned on the assumption that they were assisting the fugitives."We have been pursuing these two since the abduction,” said Judea and Samaria Division Commander Brig. Gen. Tamir Yadai. “Last night the investigation ripened as regards their location and we have been surrounding the place where they were hiding since 1:00 a.m. We killed them and there are arrests of several other collaborators.”"We began areesting suspects and at the same time we applied [IDF] 'pressure cooker' protocol on the house. It is a big house and they hid out in a secret arms store on the basement floor. The floor is not visible from the outside. At one stage they went outside and opened fire. One was shot and the other fell inside, into a hole.”"There was use of weapons, like hand grenades and the deployment of explosives that were prepared ahead of time,” he added. “We know that they have been staying in this location quite a lot in the last few days. We know for certain that they were not here the whole time. They had weapons like M-16s, a Kalachnikov and handguns, too.”Kawasmeh's close relative Hussam was arrested in Jerusalem in August for planning the attack, which was carried out physically by Marwan, along with Amer Abu-Eisha.The abduction and murder reportedly was planned by a third Kawasmeh, Mahmoud, along with Hussam, under the support of Hamas's military branch, the Al-Qassam Brigades, through their branches both in Gaza and abroad.The Brigades transferred funds via Mahmoud to purchase a car with an Israeli license plate, weapons and hideouts which were arranged in advance,according to security sources. They added that the three Israeli teens were buried on land purchased by the Kawasmeh family long before the attack. Hussam admitted in investigation to having shaven his beard off and obtained a forged passport in an attempt to flee the country to Jordan.

After going missing on June 12, Eyal Yifrah, 19, and 16-year-old classmates Gilad Sha'ar and Naftali Frenkel, were declared kidnapped the next day.Suspicion immediately fell on Hamas after intelligence pointed towards the involvement of Kawasmeh and Abu-Eisha, whose names were publicized two weeks later.An 18-day search for the three teenagers ensued, accompanied by a crackdown on Hamas in Judea and Samaria, but the search ended in tragedy after their bodies were found in field close to the Arab village of Halhul near Hevron. They were buried side-by-side in the city of Modi'in.The three boys are believed to have been murdered very shortly after being kidnapped; one source close to the murder investigation said a recording of a call made by one of the boys as he was being kidnaps provides crucial evidence that the murder had been pre-planned from the very start.The source claimed the kidnappers used a silenced weapon, indicating their attempt to actually use the gun, and dressed up as religious Jews to lure the victims into their car.
Kerry: Assad Will be Held to Account for Using Chlorine-Secretary of State John warns Assad's regime it would be held to account for using chlorine gas against civilians.By Ben Ariel-First Publish: 9/22/2014, 2:12 AM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday warned the regime of Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad that it would be held to account for using chlorine gas against civilians.According to AFP, Kerry pointed to a report by the Organization for the Prevention of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) that concluded with "a high degree of confidence" that chlorine has been used systematically and repeatedly as a weapon in northern Syria.His comments came as Damascus said it had turned over all its chemical weapons, had cooperated fully with the OPCW and adhered to the Chemical Weapons Convention.Kerry noted that the OPCW report had cited witness reports that helicopters were used in the chlorine gas attacks, which he said "strongly points to Syrian culpability" because the rebels do not have helicopters.The report also mentioned that there were additional attacks in August which witnesses said resembled those in which chlorine gas use was confirmed, Kerry said, according to AFP."This finding, coupled with deep concerns regarding the accuracy and completeness of Syria's declaration to the OPCW, raises especially troubling concerns that continued chemical attacks on the Syrian people by the regime could occur," he said."The United States is gravely concerned about the findings in this report, which point to a violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention," added Kerry. "The Assad regime must know that it will be held to account for such use in the international community."Activists in Syria said several months ago that over 100 people had been killed in a chlorine gas attack in the town of Talmenes in Idlib province, and the United Nations Security Council has called for an investigation into the alleged attack. Since then there were reports of other such attacks.Kerry himself said a few months ago that he has seen “raw data” indicating that the Syrian government has used chlorine gas as a chemical weapon in a “number of instances” in recent months.Syria has emphatically denied that it carried out chlorine gas attacks against civilians.
Expert: ISIS Changing the Entire Middle East-Extremists' takeovers in Iraq and Syria changing the entire face of Middle Eastern relations, expert says. What does it mean for Israel?By Shimon Cohen, Tova Dvorin-First Publish: 9/23/2014, 9:28 AM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
Islamic State (IS or ISIS) is changing the Middle East, Middle Eastern affairs expert Dr. Eldad Pardo told Arutz Sheva Tuesday - and the Arab world's response to it will ripple into Israeli foreign relations as well. Pardo first related to the Iranian nuclear question, noting that cooperation with the US on the diplomatic front "is inconvenient to the Iranian regime," which opposes the US's Middle-Eastern policies in the first place."They say American proposals are not serious and that ISIS was established by the US by aiding the Syrian opposition," Pardo said. He believes that Tehran is sharpening its positions and aggrandizing its power to clarify to Washington and the West - as well as its regional neighbors - that a nuclear deal will not work unless it is a major player in its final form. "For the Iranians, ISIS is less of a threat than in the Sunni world," he noted. "This is because ISIS cannot conquer Iran - which is both strong and Shi'ite, so too with Jordan and Saudi Arabia."ISIS may still prove a threat in the long run, however, through a "war of attrition" the terrorist organization is waging by overwhelming Iran's regional partners, Syria and Lebanon.The ripple effect of ISIS - and its effect on a nuclear deal - may extend so far, he said, to interfere even with Israel's relations with the rest of the Middle East."If the United States would give up the nuclear issue, it would be dangerous for Israel and the Sunni world," Pardo stated. "Iranians want to build the ancient Iranian Empire. They see themselves as some kind of Aryans facing the primitive Arabs.""On the other hand, there is pressure for change from within Iran," he continued. "What Hezbollah [in Lebanon] has been experiencing in recent years and the rise of Sunni extremists will change public opinion in Iran. Economic sanctions drive [change] as well, and perhaps it will lead them to postpone nuclear development for a few years.""If it happens, Israel will benefit," he added.ISIS-produced chaos within the Arab world, meanwhile, has given Israel the opportunity to make new diplomatic ties in the Middle East over common security needs, according to Pardo. The expert noted that ISIS's takeovers in Iraq and Syria could see Israel cooperate - if indirectly - with the Kurds and opposition groups inside Syria, to form an unlikely coalition. Hezbollah, too, may be placated, according to Pardo - as it "understands when to remain quiet along Israel's borders," like it had with Syria during Syrian President Bashar Assad's rule. Overall, he said, "all the parties in the Middle East are trying to take advantage of the ISIS crisis to their advantage" - including Israel."When fighting against Hamas, the ISIS crisis helped us [in terms of public opinion]," he explained. "The Iranians, also, are seen as moderates in light of what is happening with ISIS, even if they conduct public executions.""Assad has killed more people than ISIS through gas and violence, but he is proud to reject ISIS," he noted. "There's very much a struggle for image and for basic moral values here."
Kurds Issue Dramatic Call to Arms as Fresh ISIS Massacre Looms-Kurds warn of 'genocide operation', calls youth to defend embattled border town as Islamic State tries to cement control of Turkish border.By Ari Soffer-First Publish: 9/21/2014, 2:15 PM-ISRAELNAYIONALNEWS
Kurdish fighters have issued an urgent call to arms amid warnings of an impending massacre by the Islamic State terrorist group in northern Syria.The Kurdish People's Protection Unit (YPG) has been locked in a fierce battle with IS and other Islamist groups almost since the start of Syria's civil war. Despite being relatively isolated and receiving no foreign aid from any states the YPG has proven perhaps the most effective force in pushing back against IS.But as the jihadis' focus shifts to consolidating power in northern Syria the Kurds have found themselves under fiercer attack than ever. Some 70,000 Syrian Kurds have fled into Turkey since Friday when IS captured dozens of villages near the border as part of a push to control the entire border area between Turkey and Syria.IS forces are now reportedly advancing towards the Kurdish frontier town of Kobani, known as Ayn al-Arab in Arabic. Recent bloody clashes have seen at least 39 IS terrorists and 27 Kurdish fighters killed, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.At least 11 civilians have also been executed by IS, which has captured around 64 villages around Kobani and has advanced to within 9 miles (15 kilometers) of the town, the Observatory reported.On the way, IS has been carrying out an all too familiar ritual of brutal killings in an attempt to cow the local population into submission. Reports of gruesome public beheadings - IS's trademark mode of execution - have already been reported by refugees."Rather than a war this is a genocide operation," Ibrahim Binici, a leading member of Turkey's pro-Kurdish HDP party told Reuters. "They are going into the villages and cutting the heads of one or two people and showing them to the villagers."Binici called for international military intervention, branding the slaughter and accompanying international silence a "shameful situation for humanity," and informing journalists that five of his party's MPs will be mounting a hunger strike outside the UN's offices in Geneva.But although the US has said it is willing to launch airstrikes against IS in Syria, as it is currently doing in Iraq, the Syrian regime has so far blocked such action by demanded any military operation be carried out in cooperation with its forces. Western states view that as unacceptable, given that the Assad regime is responsible for even greater war crimes during the three and a half year civil war than IS.The Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has fought an on-off insurgency against Turkey for three decades, has issued a renewed call for Kurdish youth to enlist as fighters to save Kobani. The YPG is in fact the Syrian branch of the PKK."Supporting this heroic resistance is not just a debt of honor of the Kurds but all Middle East people. Just giving support is not enough, the criterion must be taking part in the resistance," read a statement on its website."ISIL (Islamic State) fascism must drown in the blood it spills … The youth of North Kurdistan (southeast Turkey) must flow in waves to Kobani," it said.
Syrian Rebel President: Assad Helping ISIS-Shocking claim by rebel leader at UN: Assad wants ISIS to defeat FSA, so the West sees him as the best alternative.By Mark Langfan-First Publish: 9/23/2014, 9:00 AM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
“Assad is the root cause of ISIS,” stated on Monday Hadi al-Bahra, the President of the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, at a press conference at UNHQ in New York, under the auspices of the United Nations Correspondents Association (UNCA).Al-Bahra, a 55 year-old, American trained engineer, explained in fluent English the dire state his country is in. “We need immediate airstrikes to stem the tide against the ISIS attacks on the Kurdish villages, as of yesterday, 200 Kurdish villages have been overrun, with 130,000 refugees, today, I believe the number of villages ransacked by ISIS is up to 300, with 200,000 refugees. We need immediate help against ISIS. We only need arms and supplies. Nobody wants ‘boots on the ground.’”Al-Bahra said immediate military and economic help were critical, “We are the first line of defense against ISIS. If they defeat the moderate opposition in Syria, nothing will stop them coming to Europe. And the longer Assad is power, the larger ISIS will grow.”Al-Bahra commands the Free Syrian Army (FSA) that is the ‘moderate’ group of Syrians that started the revolution against Assad 3½ years ago, and which has been battling ISIS for over a year.The rebel leader explained the FSA is fighting a “two-front war” against Assad to the West and ISIS to the east.He said that not only is Assad “the root cause of ISIS,” but also that Assad has become a tactical battle-field ally of ISIS. This claim echoed a New York Times article that described a similar trend in Assad’s target selection. Al-Bahra described how Assad’s drops barrel-bombs and fires scuds at FSA positions and cities, while he leaves ISIS-controlled cities untouched.”Al-Bahra even said, “while FSA were in battles with ISIS Assad’s planes where dropping bombs on our positions and left ISIS formations alone,” thus helping ISIS defeat the FSA in those battles.This shows that Assad and ISIS must be sharing battlefield-intelligence that could be detected by American intelligence satellites. So, it may also be clear to American intelligence that Assad has been bolstering ISIS.President al-Bahra explained Assad’s ‘Destroy-FSA/Bolster-ISIS’ strategy thus: by “destroying the FSA’s forces, Assad gives the West the ‘impression’ that 'It’s either ISIS, or Assad,’ and since Assad is ‘lesser of the two evils,’ go with Assad.”With 17 million Sunnis still in Syria, and only 3 million Alawites, Assad’s sectarian clan, President al-Bahra confidently stated, “We’re never going away, we’re everywhere in Syria we are the Syrian people,” and the revolution is for all Syrians to “free ourselves of a tyrant.”But the real fireworks came when asked, “Secretary Kerry has said Iran could help, How Iran could help?” President al-Bahra had a simple answer, “Iran must stop co-partnering with Assad to commit mass-murder war-crimes against the Syrian people. Iran now has Iranian sectarian militias in Syria committing war-crimes against Syrian civilians, and it is arming Assad with fuel and weapons. There is no solution without Iran stopping their war-crimes, and their sectarian influence.”President al-Bahra sketched out his vision of Syria that he stated was always a “moderate Muslim country” which respected Christianity for millennium, and where “language of Jesus was still spoken today.” He emphasized, “the Syria people want a democratic, non-sectarian peaceful country where everyone respects everyone else. Anybody who forces their religion on someone else by force of arms or threats is an enemy of the Syrian people.”Pamela Falk, President of UNCA, CBS's head UN correspondent and doyenne of the UN press corps, led the press conference on a wide variety of issues relating to the state of play in Syria.
IS Calls to Kill Westerners, Claims Obama is 'Mule of the Jews'-'Islamic State' terrorist group calls on Muslims to kill random 'disbelieving Americans or Europeans', singles out 'filthy French'.By Tova Dvorin-First Publish: 9/22/2014, 5:46 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
Islamic State (IS or ISIS) terrorists are hitting back at an international coalition to defeat global jihadism on Monday, after the group released a video calling on its followers to attack member countries, including the US and France. "If you can kill a disbelieving American or European - especially the spiteful and filthy French - or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be," IS spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani urged."Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him."Calling the Western campaign a "crusade," Adnani also taunted US President Barack Obama, whose $500 million motion to train and fund other Syrian rebel groups in its fight against IS was recently approved by Congress. "It will be broken and defeated, just as all your previous campaigns were broken and defeated," Adnani said, peppering his taunts with the claim that the president is a "mule of the Jews.""You claimed today that America would not be drawn into a war on the ground," he added. "No, it will be drawn and dragged. It will come down to the ground and it will be led to its death, grave and destruction."The video surfaces after Obama - who has spent most of his presidential term extracting the US from the region - last week announced that a broader campaign would seek to "degrade and ultimately destroy'' IS.Meanwhile, the US has continued to strike IS targets in Iraq - and has sent roughly 1,600 troops to the region so far in a series of airstrikes - but has not pledged to authorize ground strikes in either country. "It is more effective to use our unique capabilities in support of our partners on the ground so they can secure their own countries' futures," he said earlier this month.

Kerry: Assad Will be Held to Account for Using Chlorine-Secretary of State John warns Assad's regime it would be held to account for using chlorine gas against civilians.By Ben Ariel-First Publish: 9/22/2014, 2:12 AM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS

Since then there were reports of other such attacks.Kerry himself said a few months ago that he has seen “raw data” indicating that the Syrian government has used chlorine gas as a chemical weapon in a “number of instances” in recent months.Syria has emphatically denied that it carried out chlorine gas attacks against civilians.
Expert: ISIS Changing the Entire Middle East-Extremists' takeovers in Iraq and Syria changing the entire face of Middle Eastern relations, expert says. What does it mean for Israel?By Shimon Cohen, Tova Dvorin-First Publish: 9/23/2014, 9:28 AM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
Islamic State (IS or ISIS) is changing the Middle East, Middle Eastern affairs expert Dr. Eldad Pardo told Arutz Sheva Tuesday - and the Arab world's response to it will ripple into Israeli foreign relations as well. Pardo first related to the Iranian nuclear question, noting that cooperation with the US on the diplomatic front "is inconvenient to the Iranian regime," which opposes the US's Middle-Eastern policies in the first place."They say American proposals are not serious and that ISIS was established by the US by aiding the Syrian opposition," Pardo said. He believes that Tehran is sharpening its positions and aggrandizing its power to clarify to Washington and the West - as well as its regional neighbors - that a nuclear deal will not work unless it is a major player in its final form. "For the Iranians, ISIS is less of a threat than in the Sunni world," he noted. "This is because ISIS cannot conquer Iran - which is both strong and Shi'ite, so too with Jordan and Saudi Arabia."ISIS may still prove a threat in the long run, however, through a "war of attrition" the terrorist organization is waging by overwhelming Iran's regional partners, Syria and Lebanon.The ripple effect of ISIS - and its effect on a nuclear deal - may extend so far, he said, to interfere even with Israel's relations with the rest of the Middle East."If the United States would give up the nuclear issue, it would be dangerous for Israel and the Sunni world," Pardo stated. "Iranians want to build the ancient Iranian Empire. They see themselves as some kind of Aryans facing the primitive Arabs.""On the other hand, there is pressure for change from within Iran," he continued. "What Hezbollah [in Lebanon] has been experiencing in recent years and the rise of Sunni extremists will change public opinion in Iran. Economic sanctions drive [change] as well, and perhaps it will lead them to postpone nuclear development for a few years.""If it happens, Israel will benefit," he added.ISIS-produced chaos within the Arab world, meanwhile, has given Israel the opportunity to make new diplomatic ties in the Middle East over common security needs, according to Pardo. The expert noted that ISIS's takeovers in Iraq and Syria could see Israel cooperate - if indirectly - with the Kurds and opposition groups inside Syria, to form an unlikely coalition. Hezbollah, too, may be placated, according to Pardo - as it "understands when to remain quiet along Israel's borders," like it had with Syria during Syrian President Bashar Assad's rule. Overall, he said, "all the parties in the Middle East are trying to take advantage of the ISIS crisis to their advantage" - including Israel."When fighting against Hamas, the ISIS crisis helped us [in terms of public opinion]," he explained. "The Iranians, also, are seen as moderates in light of what is happening with ISIS, even if they conduct public executions.""Assad has killed more people than ISIS through gas and violence, but he is proud to reject ISIS," he noted. "There's very much a struggle for image and for basic moral values here."
Kurds Issue Dramatic Call to Arms as Fresh ISIS Massacre Looms-Kurds warn of 'genocide operation', calls youth to defend embattled border town as Islamic State tries to cement control of Turkish border.By Ari Soffer-First Publish: 9/21/2014, 2:15 PM-ISRAELNAYIONALNEWS
Kurdish fighters have issued an urgent call to arms amid warnings of an impending massacre by the Islamic State terrorist group in northern Syria.The Kurdish People's Protection Unit (YPG) has been locked in a fierce battle with IS and other Islamist groups almost since the start of Syria's civil war. Despite being relatively isolated and receiving no foreign aid from any states the YPG has proven perhaps the most effective force in pushing back against IS.But as the jihadis' focus shifts to consolidating power in northern Syria the Kurds have found themselves under fiercer attack than ever. Some 70,000 Syrian Kurds have fled into Turkey since Friday when IS captured dozens of villages near the border as part of a push to control the entire border area between Turkey and Syria.IS forces are now reportedly advancing towards the Kurdish frontier town of Kobani, known as Ayn al-Arab in Arabic. Recent bloody clashes have seen at least 39 IS terrorists and 27 Kurdish fighters killed, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.At least 11 civilians have also been executed by IS, which has captured around 64 villages around Kobani and has advanced to within 9 miles (15 kilometers) of the town, the Observatory reported.On the way, IS has been carrying out an all too familiar ritual of brutal killings in an attempt to cow the local population into submission. Reports of gruesome public beheadings - IS's trademark mode of execution - have already been reported by refugees."Rather than a war this is a genocide operation," Ibrahim Binici, a leading member of Turkey's pro-Kurdish HDP party told Reuters. "They are going into the villages and cutting the heads of one or two people and showing them to the villagers."Binici called for international military intervention, branding the slaughter and accompanying international silence a "shameful situation for humanity," and informing journalists that five of his party's MPs will be mounting a hunger strike outside the UN's offices in Geneva.But although the US has said it is willing to launch airstrikes against IS in Syria, as it is currently doing in Iraq, the Syrian regime has so far blocked such action by demanded any military operation be carried out in cooperation with its forces. Western states view that as unacceptable, given that the Assad regime is responsible for even greater war crimes during the three and a half year civil war than IS.The Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has fought an on-off insurgency against Turkey for three decades, has issued a renewed call for Kurdish youth to enlist as fighters to save Kobani. The YPG is in fact the Syrian branch of the PKK."Supporting this heroic resistance is not just a debt of honor of the Kurds but all Middle East people. Just giving support is not enough, the criterion must be taking part in the resistance," read a statement on its website."ISIL (Islamic State) fascism must drown in the blood it spills … The youth of North Kurdistan (southeast Turkey) must flow in waves to Kobani," it said.
Syrian Rebel President: Assad Helping ISIS-Shocking claim by rebel leader at UN: Assad wants ISIS to defeat FSA, so the West sees him as the best alternative.By Mark Langfan-First Publish: 9/23/2014, 9:00 AM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
“Assad is the root cause of ISIS,” stated on Monday Hadi al-Bahra, the President of the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, at a press conference at UNHQ in New York, under the auspices of the United Nations Correspondents Association (UNCA).Al-Bahra, a 55 year-old, American trained engineer, explained in fluent English the dire state his country is in. “We need immediate airstrikes to stem the tide against the ISIS attacks on the Kurdish villages, as of yesterday, 200 Kurdish villages have been overrun, with 130,000 refugees, today, I believe the number of villages ransacked by ISIS is up to 300, with 200,000 refugees. We need immediate help against ISIS. We only need arms and supplies. Nobody wants ‘boots on the ground.’”Al-Bahra said immediate military and economic help were critical, “We are the first line of defense against ISIS. If they defeat the moderate opposition in Syria, nothing will stop them coming to Europe. And the longer Assad is power, the larger ISIS will grow.”Al-Bahra commands the Free Syrian Army (FSA) that is the ‘moderate’ group of Syrians that started the revolution against Assad 3½ years ago, and which has been battling ISIS for over a year.The rebel leader explained the FSA is fighting a “two-front war” against Assad to the West and ISIS to the east.He said that not only is Assad “the root cause of ISIS,” but also that Assad has become a tactical battle-field ally of ISIS. This claim echoed a New York Times article that described a similar trend in Assad’s target selection. Al-Bahra described how Assad’s drops barrel-bombs and fires scuds at FSA positions and cities, while he leaves ISIS-controlled cities untouched.”Al-Bahra even said, “while FSA were in battles with ISIS Assad’s planes where dropping bombs on our positions and left ISIS formations alone,” thus helping ISIS defeat the FSA in those battles.This shows that Assad and ISIS must be sharing battlefield-intelligence that could be detected by American intelligence satellites. So, it may also be clear to American intelligence that Assad has been bolstering ISIS.President al-Bahra explained Assad’s ‘Destroy-FSA/Bolster-ISIS’ strategy thus: by “destroying the FSA’s forces, Assad gives the West the ‘impression’ that 'It’s either ISIS, or Assad,’ and since Assad is ‘lesser of the two evils,’ go with Assad.”With 17 million Sunnis still in Syria, and only 3 million Alawites, Assad’s sectarian clan, President al-Bahra confidently stated, “We’re never going away, we’re everywhere in Syria we are the Syrian people,” and the revolution is for all Syrians to “free ourselves of a tyrant.”But the real fireworks came when asked, “Secretary Kerry has said Iran could help, How Iran could help?” President al-Bahra had a simple answer, “Iran must stop co-partnering with Assad to commit mass-murder war-crimes against the Syrian people. Iran now has Iranian sectarian militias in Syria committing war-crimes against Syrian civilians, and it is arming Assad with fuel and weapons. There is no solution without Iran stopping their war-crimes, and their sectarian influence.”President al-Bahra sketched out his vision of Syria that he stated was always a “moderate Muslim country” which respected Christianity for millennium, and where “language of Jesus was still spoken today.” He emphasized, “the Syria people want a democratic, non-sectarian peaceful country where everyone respects everyone else. Anybody who forces their religion on someone else by force of arms or threats is an enemy of the Syrian people.”Pamela Falk, President of UNCA, CBS's head UN correspondent and doyenne of the UN press corps, led the press conference on a wide variety of issues relating to the state of play in Syria.
IS Calls to Kill Westerners, Claims Obama is 'Mule of the Jews'-'Islamic State' terrorist group calls on Muslims to kill random 'disbelieving Americans or Europeans', singles out 'filthy French'.By Tova Dvorin-First Publish: 9/22/2014, 5:46 PM-ISRAELNATIONALNEWS
Islamic State (IS or ISIS) terrorists are hitting back at an international coalition to defeat global jihadism on Monday, after the group released a video calling on its followers to attack member countries, including the US and France. "If you can kill a disbelieving American or European - especially the spiteful and filthy French - or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be," IS spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani urged."Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him."Calling the Western campaign a "crusade," Adnani also taunted US President Barack Obama, whose $500 million motion to train and fund other Syrian rebel groups in its fight against IS was recently approved by Congress. "It will be broken and defeated, just as all your previous campaigns were broken and defeated," Adnani said, peppering his taunts with the claim that the president is a "mule of the Jews.""You claimed today that America would not be drawn into a war on the ground," he added. "No, it will be drawn and dragged. It will come down to the ground and it will be led to its death, grave and destruction."The video surfaces after Obama - who has spent most of his presidential term extracting the US from the region - last week announced that a broader campaign would seek to "degrade and ultimately destroy'' IS.Meanwhile, the US has continued to strike IS targets in Iraq - and has sent roughly 1,600 troops to the region so far in a series of airstrikes - but has not pledged to authorize ground strikes in either country. "It is more effective to use our unique capabilities in support of our partners on the ground so they can secure their own countries' futures," he said earlier this month.
