That question has puzzled many people, and it is by explaining the difference between the acronyms ISIL and ISIS that one can begin to understand what may be behind the US president's preference for ISIL. The president's own biography and consistent anti-Israel and pro-Muslim policies may give even further clues.
Aside from putting intense pressure on Israel to sacrifice ancient Jewish land to satisfy Muslim demands, the US president has defied a Congressional law recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
According to Obama's policy Americans born in Jerusalem are not allowed to list Israel as country of birth on their US passport, implying that Jews are "occupying" the city that has been the center of Judaism and Jewish history for thousands of years.
Jerusalem is the very heart of Jewish history, dating back thousands of years. Jerusalem and the Land of Israel were invaded and occupied by Muslims in the seventh century AD. Israel liberated the Biblical part of Jerusalem from the Jordanians in 1967. President Obama has consistently chosen to legitimize Muslim claims of ownership to Jerusalem and to much of Biblical Israeli land.
President Obama has also officially endorsed the European Union's labeling and boycotting of imported Jewish goods from Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, the Biblical areas that Muslims are claiming for the creation of an Islamic state of Palestine.
Could his preference for the acronym ISIL over ISIS be because ISIL includes Israel among its targets for conquest? Following is a summary of comment by blogger Carl of Israel Matzav:
ISIL = Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
The geographical term LEVANT refers to a multi-nation region in the Middle East. It’s a land bridge between Turkey to the north and Egypt to the south. It includes Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt's Sinai, and Israel.
US government agencies, and especially president Obama, call it ISIL instead of ISIS.
Obama could be sending a coded message to Muslims all over the Middle East that he personally does not recognize Israel as a sovereign nation, but as territory belonging to the Islamic State.
Obama's plan has been to drag his feet fighting ISIS to buy them time to make as many gains as they can. The Islamic State has garnered millions of dollars, a vast cache of weapons, and has captured Syrian fighter jets and 12 commercial passenger planes.
The ultimate goal, of course, has not changed and will never change. The ultimate goal is the destruction of Israel.
At the end of this page please see other articles that attest to the US president's deep-seated hostility against Israel, which may be explained by the fact that he spent his formative years in Indonesia, a Muslim country, and in Kenya, among his Muslim relatives.
