Israel may be arming Al-Qaeda in Syria

""Israel has long had a policy towards the Syrian civil war of letting "both [sides] bleed, haemorrhage to death" as one former official put it. In the same way that the US at different times armed both sides in the eight-year-long Iran-Iraq war, western governments have an entirely cynical attitude to the war, and Israel is no exception to this." "UNDOF observed Israeli contact with armed rebels on the Syrian-controlled side of the ceasefire line on 59 occasions"" (thanks Amir)
