Wondering Arameans

Israel seeks to entice the ancient indigenous Christians within her internationally recognised borders, where they are the founders and mainstays of Arabism, to reclassify themselves as Arameans (don't the "Judea and Samaria" lot object to that, and insist that they are the real Arameans?), with a view to serving in the IDF.

The tiniest take-up of this nonsense will be screamed to the skies as a triumph.

But Israel supports the ethnic cleansing of the ancient indigenous Christians, again and not coincidentally the founders and mainstays of Arabism, in Syria and in Iraq, a small number of whom even continue to speak Aramaic as their first language.

Of those Arameans, and of all the Christians in Syria and in Iraq, Israel refuses to accept a single one as a refugee from Islamic State.
