A Belarusian-Israeli man was arrested as he attempted to join the Islamic State terrorist group in Syria, after expressing support for the group over the past year and a half, according to an indictment filed against him on Wednesday.

Belarus, a landlocked country in Eastern Europe, is known for its Stalinist architecture, grand fortifications and primeval forests. In the modern capital, Minsk, the monumental KGB Headquarters loom over Independence Square, while the Museum of the Great Patriotic War commemorates the country’s role in WWII. The capital is also home to many churches, including the neo-Romanesque Church of Saints Simon and Helena.

Hey leftist, this is an actual FASCIST!
While it’s not unusual for a Jew, even an Israeli, to be dysfunctional (to say the least), it’s also true that among the Soviet Jewish refugees were many non-Jews, even fascist and neo-nazi non-Jews just looking to get out of the socialist paradise. It may emerge that this guy is one or the offspring of neo-nazis.
Wow. Thanks.
Odd person to convert to islam.
I know there’s muzzies in Russia but not sure where.
Belorussians are basically Russians - but Europeans call them “white Russians”.
He’s got a Belarussian variant of Levi last name.
That would be in Chechnya, where you see the red northeast of Turkey. Belarus is on the northern border of Ukraine.
Thanks. Russia is YUGE!!
How did such a tiny area put up such a war?
They've been watching him for a year and half hoping he would lead them to bigger fish.
Via terrorism, and the world stepping in to minimize the response Russia exerts upon them.
“How did such a tiny area put up such a war?”
Take a look at some photos of Belarussian troops...they are definitely not guys anyone would want to screw around with!;)
Belarus also got steamrolled twice during WWII.
Israeli prison isn’t going to be kind to this one.
Unless it has an explanation as to what made this yoyo so stupid, I’m not interested. Maybe he was born a cretin.
