ISIS AND ISIS

 INTERESTING..........


Mossad’s full Hebrew name is "HaMossad LeModi'in U'LeTafkidim Meyuchadim" (The Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations). Mossad in Hebrew means "Institute" thus the secret service name shortened to Mossad.

המוסד למודיעין ולתפקידים מיוחדים (Right-to-Left)

המוסד: Ha-Mossad (The Institute)
למודיעין: Le-Modi'in (for Intelligence)
ולתפקידים: U'Le-Tafkidim (and for Operations)
מיוחדים: Meyuchadim (Special)

(Note Modi's name in Mossad 😄)

Mossad is also known as ISIS

The ISIS abbreviation comes from a British legacy.

In early English-language intelligence literature, declassified Western diplomatic cables, and historical books published from the 1970s through the 1990s, foreign agencies frequently translated Mossad simply as the Israeli Secret Intelligence Service.

British MI-6 is officially known as "Secret Intelligence Service". Like the United Kingdom's MI6, which is formally called the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), the name Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) is written into UK law (specifically the Intelligence Services Act 1994), and it serves as the official designation for Britain's foreign intelligence agency. The Western press called Mossad as Israeli SIS, thus ISIS.



This abbreviation was completely abandoned in the early 2010s to avoid any confusion with the jihadist terrorist organization, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

Interestingly, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is officially DAESH/DAISH ie al-Dawla al-Islamiyya fī al-ʿIrāq wa-sh-Shām

Daesh (داعش) (Right-to-Left)

Dāl (د) al-Dawla (The State)
Alif (أ) al-Islamiyya (Islamic)
ʿAyn (ع) al-ʿIrāq (in Iraq)
Shīn (ش) wa-sh-Shām (and Syria/the Levant)



In traditional Arabic linguistic culture, acronyms are quite rare, which already makes the word sound strange or manufactured. More importantly, "Daesh" sounds almost identical to a couple of highly insulting Arabic words:
Daes (دعس): "One who crushes or tramples underfoot."
Dahis (داحس): "One who sows discord" or "a bigot who forces his views on others."

Because of these highly negative connotations, the group completely banned the word in territories under its control. When they held major cities like Mosul and Raqqa, they threatened to cut out the tongue of anyone caught using the word "Daesh" in public.

NOTE: Over time more and more evidence has emerged about the involvement of ISIS in ISIS

THE POLITICS OVER BORDER FENCING

  When Modi sarkar came into office in 2014, 1. Roughly 1,520 km of the total 2,216.7 km border was already fenced in West Bengal. All of it by UPA-I and UPA-II under Dr Manmohan Singh. 2. By August 2025, Modi sarkar managed to fence only 127km in 12 years. 3. Pending (Feasible): 456.2 km 4. Non-Feasible/Unfenceable: 112.8 km (Rivers/Swamps/Sundarbans mangroves etc) For 12 years Modi and Shah have been screaming Ghuspethiya because they failed to fence a mere 456 kms while past govts, UPA-I and UPA-II under Dr Manmohan Singh, since the year 2000 managed to complete 1,520 km of the total 2,216.7 km border in Bengal and also the rest of the Indo-Bangla border stretching across 4,096.7 km Nobody asked when over 3,232 km is already fenced and sealed, what prevented BSF from sealing a mere 456.2 km by physical control and patrolling? Border sealing in any case is the primary responsibility of the BSF. Suvendu Adhikar says that BSF will be provided land within 45 days for border fencing ...

  CROSSING "THE THIN RED LINE" The "Thin Red Line" often means the final boundary or division between order and chaos, or between good and evil. It is also used to denote a limit beyond which someone must not go without facing severe consequences. It suggests the idea of a physical boundary marking the limits between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. The expression is part of the English language vocabulary. However, there is a military origin to this phrase which goes back to the British Crimean War, particularly the Balaklava Campaign. Though the Balaklava Campaign became infamous for one of the most infamous blunders in military history, the Charge of the Light Brigade, made immortal by Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson. Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon behind them Volleyed and thundered; Stormed at with shot and shell, While horse and hero fell. They that had fought so well Came through the jaws of Death, Back from the mouth of h...
