How ISIS is Repaying its Masters | New Eastern Outlook
At this point there’s no denying the fact
that Saudi Arabia and Qatar has been sponsoring and supporting ISIS. As
early as 2014, WikiLeaks released an e-mail from Hillary Clinton to
John Podesta, who then occupied the position of her campaign chairman, stating that
the governments of Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been “providing
clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIS and other radical
Sunni groups in the region.” What is truly remarkable is that the email
says is not mentioning some sheiks, instead it refers to the governments
of Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
These funds are received by the
terrorist organizations that commit all sorts of despicable crimes
against the people of Syria and Iraqi. At the same time they are
profiting from robbing these people by destroying historical monuments,
looting historical artifacts and smuggling the ancient antiques they’ve
stolen to the Persian Gulf or Turkey so they can later be sold at black
markets in Europe. Thereby, those are buying these relics are
effectively providing support to ISIS as well. As it has recently been noted by
The Guardian, Swiss authorities have recently seized cultural relics
looted from Syria’s ancient city of Palmyra, as well as from Libya and
Yemen, which were being stored in Geneva’s free ports.
As it has been noted by David Francis in his article for the Foreign Policy magazine, most Middle
Eastern artifacts were purchased by the greedy and immoral collectors
from Europe, North America and Asia. Turkish mafia has been running the
towns of Kilis and Urfa for a long time now, since those are the two
main smuggling nodes for the artifacts stolen from Palmyra. We are
witnessing the Iraqi war phenomenon repeated here, since out of 15
thousand exhibits stolen from the National Museum in Baghdad, security
services did only manage to return less than 25%, which means that
somebody made a small fortune on them.
