The Pete Quiñones Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. PolitiFact examined the claim that the U.S. and Israel created the Islamic State and found 'no evidence of an American, British and Israeli plot to create ISIS.'[1][3]
Contradicts. The Congressional Research Service describes the Islamic State as a transnational Sunni Islamist insurgent and terrorist group, and says Congress has authorized U.S. military and economic actions to counter it.[2]
Context. Israel has strongly denied accusations of providing arms and medical support to IS, and Iran's accusations of U.S. and Israeli creation of IS are documented as allegations rather than established fact.[4]
Context. Several unrated blog and advocacy pieces repeat the claim that ISIS is a U.S.-Israeli proxy, but they cite each other and the same allegations, so they do not independently corroborate it.[5][6][7][8][9]
