Israel: Six Muslims charged with supporting the Islamic State

Islamic-State-supporters-arrested-israel“Police say the teacher would sing songs praising ISIS in class, express his support for the terrorist organization, and show students map drawings of the self-proclaimed Islamic State.” Did the vast majority of moderate Muslims among whom he lived and worked turn him in? If not, why not?

“Schoolteachers among six in Israel charged with supporting ISIS,” by Ann Colwell and Oren Liebermann, CNN, July 6, 2015:

Jerusalem (CNN)Six men have been arrested on suspicion of supporting ISIS in Israel, following an investigation by Israeli security and counterterror forces.

The men were indicted on charges of supporting a terrorist organization, possessing and distributing advertising materials of an illegal group, and conspiracy, among other accusations, according to a written statement from police spokeswoman Luba Samri.

Among the six suspects: four schoolteachers, one of whom taught at an elementary school in Hura. According to police, the man took “every opportunity” to teach his young students about ISIS.

Police say the teacher would sing songs praising ISIS in class, express his support for the terrorist organization, and show students map drawings of the self-proclaimed Islamic State — the group’s preferred moniker, and also the way it refers to its wide swath of territory across Syria and Iraq.

He even posted support videos to YouTube, but later removed them. Police say he’d been “warned that it might interfere with his work as a teacher.”…

The men were conspiring to travel to Syria to join ISIS, according to police.

All six are residents of Hura, a Bedouin village near Israel’s border with the West Bank. Israeli police say four of them taught in schools, ranging from elementary to high school, located in Hura and Rahat, another Israeli city inhabited mostly by Bedouins, an Arab Muslim minority in Israel.

The suspects identified as educators are teacher Hamza Abu Ali Abu Alkyan, elementary school teacher Akram Al’ab Ahmed Abu Alkyan, high school teacher Muhammad Al’ab Ahmad Abu Alkyan and elementary school teacher Bashir Jabran Salim Abu Alkyan.

Police did not specify what the other suspects, Khader Hassan Abu Alkyan and Sharif Shahada Abu Alkyan, did for a living.

Based on the birth years released by police, the men range in age from their early 20s to early 30s.

Investigating a ‘secret squad of supporters’

The Southern Negev counterterror unit and the Israeli Security Agency, also known as Shin Bet, opened an undercover investigation into the men when they were suspected “of starting a secret squad of supporters for Da’esh.” Da’esh is another name for ISIS, which is also known as ISIL….

    Does Israel have a treason law?

    Decades ago, the Arab states expelled virtually all of their Jews for no other reason than their faith, and because they were frustrated by their inability to exterminate Israel in 1948. Meanwhile, about 20 percent of the Israeli population is Muslim, and many of them have jihadist sympathies. One would think that there be some reciprocity and Israel would not tolerate their presence, but the Left in Israel is very powerful, particularly in the judiciary, so the Israeli parliament hosts anti-Zionist parties that vilify the state, and periodically, its citizens are killed in terrorist attacks, but still people blather on about Arab civil rights. As Ze’ev Jabotinsky used to say, Jews are big boosters for inclusiveness, even for people who are their enemies, which means that a lot of them are political imbeciles.

      I understand that of the Arabs that left Israeli territory during the 1948 conflict, only about 50,000 are still alive. But “Palestinian” leaders insist their decendants now numbering about 5 million have a “right of return”. No such offer is available to the 300,000 Jews expelled from Iraq, Syria and Jordan during the same period.

        Very true. Listen to UNWRA and the UN and one would think that there are millions of “refugees”, whose “right of return” would – TA DA! – eliminate Israel. Another Islamic supremacist wet dream.

          I just call them (the “UN”) the OIC. Seems legit.

    Fortunately the Israelis know what to do, these ticking bomb factories will spend a long time in the slammer.

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

    Sorry, I tried my best but lost it with “Sharif Shahada Abu”

      To Angemon- These creepy so called “teachers” must have received their teaching certificates/licenses from a recycled paper factory. In the western world, the first concept a person learns and must agree to, upon enrolling in Education 101 (aka Introduction to Pedagogy) is this: “DO NO HARM”. Additionally, principals/administrators have the right to make unannounced classroom observations. What goes on in school systems in other parts of the world?

    ‘Radical Islamic chic’ is rampant among Muslim youth. Teachers, social workers and police who see it are not reporting it for fear of being denounced as intolerant.

    They are failing to report SEDITION!

    Not only in Israel——-
    The Muslim 5th column is also deeply entrenched in the British education system.
    In some schools, the situation is so bad that the Pakis feel strong enough to demand that Islamic history and Arabic are taught as principal subjects in those schools.

    Israel will deal with ISIS in its own way to bring greater security to the nation. In the process they will probably show more resolve and courage than anyone else in the region except perhaps the Kurdish forces. When Israel really strikes hard it will be important for us to be vocal in our support of their actions and critical of the orchestrated chorus of criticism that will inevitably be voiced against the country as it takes its aim against our common foe.
