ISIS POPULARITY GROWING IN ISRAEL:
As the Islamic State (formerly ISIS) inches closer to Israel in its sweeping conquest of Iraq and Syria, the real threat is that the extremist movement will gain a large number of followers in the Holy Land long before its current warriors reach the borders of the Jewish state. A recent government report suggested that dozens of Israeli Arabs and Palestinians have already traveled abroad to join the Islamic State.
And now, there are signs that local Muslims are taking up the cause. “ISIS is on the right path,” an imam at a mosque in northern Israel preached last week. At another mosque in the area, a congregant publicly declared, “The Islamic State is the only one that can establish an Islamic state, and it is good they are punishing people. I hope they make it to Israel.” Atop Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, Muslims have been photographed freely strolling about the sacred compound while carrying ISIS flags. “When a backdrop of sympathy exists, there are usually some who cross over to wider action,” warned former Mossad chief Efraim Halevy this week. Halevy noted that a similar thing had “occurred in Europe and could already be happening here.” It would appear Halevy’s assessment was accurate. Just days after his interview, a Jerusalem-based jihadist movement that previously pledged allegiance to ISIS threatened to carry out attacks against Twitter if the social media network continued to close the account of Islamic State supporters and officials.
