Okay we are
considered their enemy along with Israel as we seem to be every ones in the
middle east who wants us off their land. With that said I don't know if they
are not abusing the good name of the Levant. Al- Nusra was first heard of in
2011 and was formed to remove Bashar Al Assad from power for killing the Sunni
rebels.
That is a
good thing and I agree with it but if they truly consider themselves protectors
of and people of the Levant they would be protectors of all the downtrodden in
the middle east. They should be the protectors of Palestine when they are done
with Syria. I do not think it is a bad thing that they are in Syria. However
when the job is done they should move on to help Palestinians. Palestinians are truly of the Levant.
Muslims of Palestine are largely descendents of Christians
and Jews of the southern Levant. The Southern Levant roughly encompasses
Palestine, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, along with the modern sovereign states
of Israel, Jordan and the southern parts of Lebanon and Syria. We are talking
all the way back to prehistoric times people.
Southern_Levant Genetic analysis and historical accounts suggest the Muslims of Palestine are largely descendents of Christians and Jews of the southern Levant,"The Levant is the geographical region bordering the Mediterranean, roughly between Egypt and Anatolia (modern Turkey). The Southern Levant roughly encompasses Palestine, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, along with the modern sovereign states of Israel, Jordan and the southern parts of Lebanon and Syria
[1]." and descendents of a core population that lived there in prehistoric times.[22]Since the time of the Muslim conquests in the 7th century, religious conversions have resulted in Palestinians being predominantly Sunni Muslim by religious affiliation, though there is a significant Palestinian Christian minority of various Christian denominations, as well as Druze and a small Samaritan community. Though Palestinian Jews made up part of the population of Palestine prior to the creation of the State of Israel, very few identify as "Palestinian" today. Acculturation, independent from conversion to Islam, resulted in Palestinians being linguistically and culturally Arab.[18] The vernacular of Palestinians, irrespective of religion, is the Palestinian dialect of Arabic.
Absolutely there should be a 2 state solution with an Israel
and a free state of Palestine side by side. However as we keep asserting, it
will never happen with the sorry excuse for Diplomacy. Jihadists, Islamists,
extremists, Al Qaeda affiliates, whatever you call them someone of that stature
has to stand up for them and it can't be Hezbollah. Someone has to stand up to
the separatist hard liner Netanyahu and the likes of Gingrich who back him up
saying he is dead right saying Palestinians are "invented" and Jerusalem
belongs to the Jews.
I am afraid he is dead wrong and defending Netanyahu's
divisive war mongering stance and saying Palestinians are an invented people is
grotesque and will only help guarantee a total middle east breakdown. I refuse
to believe that ass can get away with voicing such war mongering destructive
divisive rhetoric. For now for me the jury is still out on Jabhat al-Nusra.
