The European view also reveals a staggering ignorance about Islamic State. Islamic State is a multibillion dollar enterprise, which gets huge amounts of revenue from the oil fields that it has managed to get its hands on, as well as the sale of looted ancient artifacts. It is a well-oiled and organized war machine, complete with a professional recruitment and propaganda machinery and led by officers in Saddam Hussein's former Baathist Iraqi army. How these people can be described as "frustrated" victims in anything but a parallel universe is beyond any sane person's imagination.
Someone should ask members of the European establishment whether they think that "frustration" is also a legitimizing factor behind the mass rapes and killings of Yazidi and Christian women and children wherever Islamic State has occupied territory. Europe was completely silent when reports of the gruesome activities of the group first hit the news. It is only now, as the mainly male and Muslim migrants are flooding the continent that Europeans with bleeding hearts speak of the necessity of taking in refugees. Why?
Blaming Israel for the terrorism happening on European soil is a mistake that has already backfired greatly on Europe, as its myopic view on world affairs blinds it to the realities of Islamic State. Scapegoating Israel is certainly serving a purpose of temporary relief for a clueless European establishment, which has never known war and does not know how to face it other than with vacuous statements of peace, love and harmony. However, the burning ideology and hatred that fuels Islamic State will sooner or later have to force a reality check on the Europeans. So far, however, it seems that will not be forthcoming anytime soon.
