They want to have a terrorist group they can fight, rather than a different type of government. Like George Bush and the original Iraqi Army before we betrayed them and turned it into ISIS.

      If you don’t get answers for questions like that in the future, I recommend reverse image search. For example tinyeye.com found the following article with this caption for the picture:

      So, I don’t know. Though, I have seen the picture before and have shared it under the assumption that it is some flavor of conventional rocket attack on Israel , from the right, often made up of scavenged guided missiles, and launched by groups that have in the past intermittently enjoyed support, tacit or otherwise, from the various Western powers, and the iron dome defense system on the left.

        Do you think the groups on the right receive(d) more support from ‘Western powers’ than they did from Arab states and Iran?
