Fatah al Islam: How the connection with Syria turned propaganda

When I reported about Fatah Ali­Is­lam fir­ing two rock­ets on Israeli colony Sedrot, I assumed as other media reported that there are ele­ments from Fatah Al-Islam man­aged to escape to Ain Al-Hilwa refugees camp in Lebanon.

This not our dis­cus­sion because Zion­ists pro­pa­ganda web­site Debka reported that Syr­ian Al-Qaeda-arm Fatah Islam are now gath­ered in Gaza.

Although we said many times, that Fatah Al-Islam is not con­nected to Syria, It is Har­riri cre­ated orga­ni­za­tion, but the con­nec­tion with Syria still widely believed by news­pa­pers and even by the UNU.N. Report Sug­gests Syr­ian Role in Arm­ing of Hezbol­lah, Other Groups”.

Amer­i­can Brook­ings Research Insti­tute, released their report on Fatah Al-Islam few days ago and it’s called “Fatah al Islam: How an Ambi­tious Jihadist Project Went Awry”, it is a very good read for the peo­ple who are inter­ested, but the most impor­tant para­graph in the report is the following:

1– .….accord­ing to these groups’ lead­ers, was to be set South (against Israel) not North.

This point, strengthen my con­clu­sion that Fatah Al-Islam fired the rock­ets from Ain Al-Hilwa camp.

3– Fatah al Islam was not a mechan­i­cal cre­ation of Syr­ian intel­li­gence. While Syria did not pre­vent large trans­fers of Arab fight­ers from Iraq to Lebanon, via Syr­ian ter­ri­to­ries, it did not play a major role in arm­ing or financ­ing Fatah al Islam.

This point destroys all the pro­pa­ganda claims of the con­nec­tion with Syria.
