John McCain supports the Syrian rebel leader, General Idris, who believes and has said: "Israel is an enemy country (to the Palestinian people)" and that is why we cannot - must not - get involved with Syrian, militarily.

<<<<  That's McCain grinning his fool head off and General Salim to his immediate left.  Understand that Salim is a head hunting Muslim who is no friend of Israel nor the US.  

General Salim Idris, framed as a "fine leader" and a "moderate" by John McCain,  set in on an interview by Al Jazeera,  on May 8.   In that interview his anti-West bias became more than obvious when he went so far as to accuse Syria's Assad and the terrorist/anti-Israel organization of being "Israeli collaborators."  You should know that Salim Idris is the commander of the Supreme Military Council of the Free Syrian Army (FSA), which is deemed a “moderate” force by both the Obama Administration and the likes of John McCain. The May 8 interview includes the following (comments McCain most definitely knows were made by Idris):

“Israel is an enemy country,” Idris said, according to memrity.org, the Middle East Media Research Institute. “I say this loud and clear. It occupies Syrian lands. The FSA will not change its position regarding that country before it withdraws from the Syrian lands, and recognizes the legitimate rights of the Arab Palestinian people.”

In the same Al Jazeera interview, Idris accused Bashar al-Assad and Hizballah (which is designated a terrorist group by the U.S. government) of being “Israeli collaborators."
