Israeli Islamic State fighter captured in Syria asks Netanyahu to bring him home

Chutzpah in action — lacking only the appeal for sympathy due to an orphan, and that’s because his parents are alive and well, thanks to Israel’s outstanding doctors.
[IsraelTimes] Speaking Hebrew, Sayyaf Sharif Daoud requests PM’s intervention, noting that Jerusalem works to secure release of IDF soldiers held in captivity.
Yes, but those are Israeli soldiers held captive by Israel’s enemies. You, my dear sir, are an ISIS soldier — avowed enemy of Israel, though they haven’t got round to doing anything about it directly yet — being held captive by the Kurds, who are sympathetic to Israel and vice versa.

...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....

In an interview with the network broadcast Wednesday, Sayyaf Sharif Daoud beseeched the premier to work to bring him back, noting Israel’s policy of making deals to return soldiers captured by the country’s enemies.

"I am an Israeli citizen. I know you are the prime minister of a democratic state that does not differentiate between Jews and Arabs," Daoud said at the end of his interview, switching from Arabic to Hebrew.

"Many countries removed their citizens from here. Everyone knows what you did for one Israeli soldier, your country is large and scary," Daoud said, presumably referring to the deal made to return Gilad Shalit, who was held in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
for five years before being released in 2011 as part of a controversial deal with Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, in which Israel freed over 1,000 Paleostinian security prisoners.

"I request that you return me to Israel. It is very hard, this jail. It is very, very hard. This is my request and I know it is not hard for you to do. And by god I promise to not go back to how I used to be and to become a respectable person," Daoud added.

Captured in Deir Ezzor, the 30-year old Israeli citizen claimed that he had not participated in war crimes, serving instead as a nurse.

He told Al Arabiya that at one point IS had imprisoned him because he was Israeli.

"Any person I have any problems with, could go to the security forces and tell them that I’m Israeli. I would get imprisoned immediately," he said.

"Imagine, after three years of being in the state, they imprison you and tell you ’you’re Israeli,'" Daoud continued. "I used to feel ashamed of calling it [a state] that’s following the prophet’s steps. They wanted to record my voice speaking against Israel [but I did not] want to cause Israel or [my] family any trouble."

"Many of us, not only me, were opposed to the slaughtering style. There are children, there are pregnant women," he said, denying any role in the mass killings perpetrated by the terror group. "I founded a rescue team to help the injured from strikes. Whenever there was a strike, I’d be there."

Asked if he had been armed, he replied "I carried a gun. Every person in the state, whether they’re a nurse, or working in the oil field, they need to carry a gun."

In a previous interview with BBC Arabic that was translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Daoud praised Israel, explaining why he chose to join Islamic State rather than any of the Paleostinian terrorist organizations.

"I lived through the Second Intifada. I have seen war. I lived in the West Bank and in Israel. Israel has not done one percent of what Bashir al-Assad has done," he said, referring to Syria’s president. "There was fighting and all that, but Israel has not raped women or stripped them naked on TV, and it has not killed with such barbarity."

Noting that his father had warned him against Hamas and Fatah, Daoud said that "Israel is a democratic state. I have not seen injustice there. We Arabs live together in Israel with the Jews. There is no injustice. We are treated just like the Jews."

Daoud apologized to his parents, saying in Hebrew that he had "made a big mistake" and was sorry for the problems he had caused them.

"I know that my mother thinks of me every day and she is angry and that is very difficult for me because I always think of her."

Foreign volunteers from around the world have served with Islamic State and many have requested to be allowed to return home. Australia recently moved to bar the return of Islamic State supporters who are demanding to be repatriated from crowded refugee camps in Syria.

In April, Interior Minister Aryeh Deri moved to strip an Israeli man of his citizenship for traveling to Syria to join Islamic State six years ago. Deri instructed ministry officials to take action in absentia against Abdallah Hajleh at the recommendation of the Shin Bet security service. The revocation must be approved by a special citizenship court. According to reports in Hebrew-language media, Hajleh has a citizenship in a second country.

The Shin Bet security service has in the past estimated that several dozen Israeli nationals had fought for IS in Iraq and Syria. Most were either killed in action or returned to Israel, where they were arrested.

#5 " But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

Because he has despised the word of the LORD and has broken His commandment, that person shall be completely cut off; his guilt will be on him."
