Thank you for bringing this to everyone's attention, it is certainly an issue worth discussing.
I do not think we can conclude these alleged jihadists are "Israeli agents" without sufficient evidence, but we also cannot exclude the possibility
either.
However, you were right to be alarmed about this, it has the potential to escalate into a dangerous situation for all of us. The solution, in a word,
is understanding. Within the collective mind of the United States understanding is absent on two critical issues.
1) News stories are always chosen for a purpose; that purpose can be as simple as increasing ratings but can, and often is, used to manipulate public
opinion, as the OP implied.
2) Islam is not the enemy; rather, it is the insanity in the human mind that causes a species to attack itself.
An increased understanding of either issue would resolve the potential consequences alluded to in the OP. It is our responsibility to communicate
about these things effectively to increase the understanding of others to produce real change.
Truthfully,
Shane
