Under cover of darkness, an Israeli armoured car advances down the potholed road that leads to Syria.
As it crests a small hill, the driver picks up the radio handset and tells his commanding officer that the border is in sight.
He kills the engine. Ten heavily-armed commandos jump out and take cover, watching for signs of ambush. Then five of them move up to the 12ft chainlink fence that marks the limit of Israeli-held territory.
On the other side, on the very edge of Syria, lies an unconscious man wrapped like a doll in a blood-drenched duvet. The commandos unlock the fence, open a section of it and drag him onto Israeli soil.
Unconscious: A wounded Syrian Islamic militant receives urgent medical treatment from Israeli troops at the Syrian border. The commandos are seen administering ‘tracheal intubation’ by forcing a tube down the man’s throat to prevent asphyxiation

There is nothing admirable about saving the lives of people who want to kill your children. It is a pathetic, degrading attempt to gain acceptance from those who will never provide it. Jews who save anti-Semites are like zebras who save lions. Will the lions be grateful and reevaluate their longstanding animus towards ungulates? Or will they be lions and kill their benefactors?
Nope, a zebra who saves a lion is one amazingly dumb zebra…but is still infinitely smarter than a Jew who saves an anti-Semite.
Trying to obtain information? At least I hope there’s a rational explanation for doing this?
Makes perfect sense to me – may both sides win in the Syrian conflict and keep busy killing each other.
