  • Israel moves to cover-up its alliance with al-Qaeda in Syria

    Sedqi al-Maqet, a Syrian activist who lives in the Israeli-occupied part of Syria known as the Golan Heights was interned after a dawn raid on his home by Israeli secret police at the end of February. Until quite recently, the Israeli media was absolutely banned from mentioning his case at all, even from referring or linking to foreign press reports on the issue.

    Al-Maqet is a Syrian Druze from Majdal Shams known for his media activism and support of the Bashar al-Assad regime. He had published information online (including via his Facebook account) about contacts he said he had witnessed between Israeli armed forces in the Golan and what he termed terrorists active in the Syrian-controlled sector of the Golan.

    As I have noted in this column before, Israeli military spokespeople have now admitted to what the reports of UN peace-keeping forces in the Golan have been implying for some time: Israel has an active alliance with the Nusra Front, al-Qaeda’s official affiliate in Syria.

    Although al-Qaeda as a movement has a history of making hostile statements against Israel (and statements of an anti-Semitic nature) it has never been involved in much in the way of military confrontations against the Zionist state. Al-Qaeda has historically had two main focuses: US military and civilian targets, and military and civilian targets within Arab states (often specialising in brutal sectarian attacks against those it considers false Muslims).

    Since the Nusra Front took over a key checkpoint in the Golan in the summer, it has not gone unnoticed by Arabs that Nusra has completely avoided attacking Israeli military targets in the region. The Qunaitra crossing stands between the Israeli-occupied and the Syrian-controlled sectors of the Golan – Nusra has held it since August.

    UN peacekeepers have observed regular contacts between Nusra forces in the area and the Israeli troops stationed on the other side of the ceasefire line (Israel has illegally occupied part of the Golan since 1967). They also observed cargo of an unknown nature passing between the two sides from the Israelis.

    Syria accuses Israel of torturing a Syrian prisoner

    UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Syria accused Israel of torturing and mistreating a Syrian prisoner accused of espionage, a claim Israel strongly denied on Thursday.

    Sidqi al-Maqt, an Arab Druse, was indicted on March 27 by an Israeli district court on charges of spying for Syria, assisting the enemy during wartime, conspiracy to commit criminal acts, and contact with a foreign agent. He earlier served 27 years in an Israeli prison for security offenses and was released in August 2012.

    Syria’s Charge d’affaires Haydar Ali Ahmad asked U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon “to intervene directly” to save the life of Sidqi al-Maqt, calling the charges against him “trumped up.”

    Pas du tout repris (à la différence des quelques Palestiniens qui ont choisi de combattre avec les mercenaires islamistes en Syrie), l’histoire de Sidqi al-Maqît, actuellement en procès à Nazareth pour collaboration avec une puissance étrangère (la Syrie).

    Sidqi al-Maqit est natif du Golan, occupé par les Israéliens depuis 1967. Il n’en reste pas moins, dans sa tête et dans ses actes, un citoyen syrien. A peine sorti de prison où il est resté tout de même 27 ans (1985-2012), al-Maqit a continué à militer pour ce qu’il estime être son pays, notamment en dressant la carte des villages détruits sur le plateau du Golan pour laisser place aux nouvelles colonies.

    Mais il a surtout commencé à gêner les autorités israéliennes lorsqu’il a publié, sur sa page Facebook, toutes sortes d’informations prouvant, il y a plusieurs mois de cela, l’existence d’une coopération, "humanitaire" (soins aux blessés) puis militaire entre Israël et certains groupes de mercenaires islamistes (Jabhat al-Nusra en particulier).
