Can ISIS save Israel?

Israel is experiencing a complete exhaustion in the eyes of the whole world because of the genocide and all the crimes against humanity it commits in Gaza. Hamas's 7 October attacks, which it puts forward as a pretext for its barbaric savagery, convince only itself. No demonization of Hamas can justify its massacring, in the most savage manner, of nearly 50 thousand people, including children, the elderly, civilians, women, journalists, health workers and clergy.

On the other hand, with this savagery that has continued for six months, the entire ground of existential excuse that it has built up to now through the literature of the Holocaust has been exhausted. On top of that, as it continues its savage attacks on Gaza, it feeds Hamas's legitimacy and rightfulness and brings about the development of a worldwide sympathy for Hamas and, through it, for Islam.

In fact, the process we have lived through has exhausted not only what was aimed at Hamas but also the identification of Islam with terrorism and of Islam with violence, which has been the most important material of the order of discourse that Israel, as well as the USA and Europe, have tried to establish across the whole Middle East up to now. Since 7 October it is not Islam but the violence, terrorism, savagery and civilized barbarism of Israel and the Westerners that has drawn more attention and filled more of the story. On the contrary, a complete banditry rule and terrorism has been laid bare, naked and manifest, in the face of Hamas's resistance, which is seen as utterly just and sympathetic. It has been understood more by everyone how the three or five thousand murders that the ISIS people served up to the world with studio shootings are made to overlook the blood of millions of Muslims barbarically massacred in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria by the USA and Europe themselves, in their own name or in the name of Israel.

We are at a place where the tales of Islamist terrorism that serve as a pretext for Western imperialism no longer have any validity or credibility even among their own target audiences. In fact, what has collapsed in Gaza in the face of Israeli genocidalism and unlimited US support is not only the narrative of Islamist terrorism but also the orientalist narratives that for three hundred years have prepared a global ground for this imperialist ideology; we have come to a point where they are exhausted.

Right at this point, the manner in which the savage terror attack that took place last week at Crocus City, one of Moscow's important entertainment centers, entered the stage turned out rather strange. The fact that ISIS claimed responsibility for this attack, whose intelligence the USA had announced some time ago that it had received, actually provides all the data leaving no room for any question about who did what and for what. Of course, there is an open application to the exhausted capital of "Islamist terrorism" via ISIS. The strangeness is this: is there anyone left who no longer knows or recognizes ISIS? With this card, whose relations and identity have been completely exposed, being put forward, who might be aimed to be persuaded of what?

Remember how the USA, which entered Syria through the way opened by an international coalition against Assad, the murderer of his own people, suddenly changed target there and decided that the fight against a terrorist organization called ISIS, which had not been in the calculation at all, was of higher priority? From that day to this it has not been able to settle ISIS in any way, but thanks to it, it settled in Syria. The calculation was actually very clear. Assad's departure and the Syrian people's taking over the government in his place posed a security risk for Israel.

ISIS and the USA worked in complete coordination in fighting, in place of Assad, the Syrian people who were Assad's victims. When ISIS's presence in Syria began to constitute a surplus, the USA carried members of ISIS's Khorasan branch to Afghanistan with its own aircraft. The role assigned to ISIS there would of course be to fight the Taliban, the USA's real enemy. ISIS members are still waiting for an opportunity to destroy the environment of stability and security formed in Afghanistan, by means of terrorist activities. But here the Taliban is a tougher nut for them than they supposed.

There are countless data, leaving no room for anyone to doubt, on the ISIS-USA relationship. In Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Syria... Despite this, by putting forward this exposed card in Moscow, what is the USA calculating that who will believe? The incident may have dimensions related to Ukraine, but what can it gain from that? Or it may have a functionality in the policies to be pursued in the Middle East against Islamic countries. Those at the head of Islamic countries love the USA's lies more than its truths. The operations of demonization, extended through ISIS savagery as far as democratic moderate Islamic movements, make above all the rulers of the Arab world happy. In this way they have kept and consolidated their despotic positions against their opponents. They do not even want to be interested in whether the USA or Israel is really behind ISIS. They regard every kind of story the USA fabricates as also the basis of their own existence.

But this time the addressee of the story told through ISIS in Moscow is Putin. Someone who, from the very first moment, has no chance of missing either the triggermen of the incident or the real target of this business.

Putin, who noticed at once toward what sort of place they had tried to manipulate him with the earlier killing of the ambassador in Ankara and said he saw very well what was wanted to be done with that act, saw very well in this incident too where he was being manipulated to.

As for the attempt to strike Moscow these days with the story of Islamist terrorism, its most obvious effect is to distract attention from Israel, which deserves to carry around its neck all the labels of terrorism, violence, savagery and barbarism because of the crimes against humanity it has been committing before the eyes of the world for 6 months.

As in all earlier scenes, ISIS here too enters the stage with a role that is "useful" or "thought to be useful" for both the USA and Israel.

Of course it is not useful for anything. Even ISIS's fake shows of savagery can no longer overshadow Israel's real savagery. On the contrary, ISIS's savagery too is being written, via the USA, to Israel's account.
