Nah America hates Isis

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 26 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

ISIS fights against all America's enemies. Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya....

Thankfully israel funds ISIS by buying their oil. And ISIS decided to attack Iran, Syria and now even Russia! Very convenient people!

It's weird your source is saying Israel was mostly buying ISIS oil, while the FT article they heavily draw from actually says most of it was coming out of Kurdish territories, with the funds being used for Peshmerga forces fighting against ISIS

Taking all reporting into account it looks like all the produced oil going through Turkish traders with nobody down the chain caring who they're funding

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

The oil is extracted from Dir A-Zur in Syria and two fields in Iraq and transported to the Kurdish city of Zakhu in a triangle of land near the borders of Syria, Iraq and Turkey. Israeli and Turkish mediators come to the city and when prices are agreed, the oil is smuggled to the Turkish city of Silop marked as originating from Kurdish regions of Iraq and sold for $15-18 per barrel

It passes hands a few times to avoid direct links. Someone traced it back. Came from ISIS.

You're pretty delusional if you think every drop of oil can be traced back in such an active conflict. You should read up on more sources and you'll see everyone was buying cheap oil from the intermediaries. You could say Assad was funding ISIS with Russian support, but it's a pretty useless statement once you know where it comes from

I'm glad you are denying this report by making random claims about drops of oil.

Did you know oil goes into barrels? Onto trucks? So much cool info that's mentioned in the article. You can even read the article before commenting on it to defend israel!

I'd check if anything you're saying is true, but its pointless to do that with hezbara members.

[-] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 7 months ago

Then why is isis attacking everyone but Israel, which America so so loves.

[-] Aria@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 7 months ago

The rest of America might hate Isis, but the USA is Isis' primary employer.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@kbin.social 6 points 7 months ago

They used to. Now they don't.

[-] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 7 months ago

If you really, actually follow the money, you'll find Amerika is bankrolling ISIS. Do you really think Israel's spending their own money buying IS oil? Or could it be the millions upon billions Amerika pumps them with to do Empire's genocidal bidding?
