Rush Just Exposed The Reason Obama Says ‘ISIL’ Instead Of ‘ISIS’
Melody Dareing December 9, 2015
There is a reason why President Barack Obama uses the term ISIL rather than ISIS, and talk show host Rush Limbaugh says the American people won’t like the reason.
Limbaugh said the reason isn’t related to blaming George W. Bush for terrorism, but rather to diminish Israel.
“I think there’s a totally different reason for this,” Limbaugh said on his show, referring to views of different pundits about the sudden switch in terms.
ISIS is an acronym for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, whereas ISIL stands for the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant. The Levant includes the entire region, Limbaugh pointed out.
“It would include Israel, which, to these people, Israel is a fraud. Israel doesn’t deserve to be there. That’s all Palestine and that’s what I think is behind the pronunciation, this insistence that it be called ISIL,” the national talk show host said.
Limbaugh noted that the only ones who use the term ISIL include Obama and members of his administration. The media, and everyone else, continues to call the terrorism organization ISIS.
“I think he’s got a different audience for the term. I don’t think he’s talking to the American people. I think he’s talking to Iran,” he said.

Why Obama calls ISIS 'ISIL'
By Hillel Fendel 12/20/2015
Media analysts continue to offer explanations as to what message U.S. President Barack Obama is giving by insisting on using the term ISIL.
Obama, alone among virtually all world leaders and most news media, consistently calls ISIS, the world's worst terrorist scourge, by the name ISIL. The former stands for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, while ISIL stands for The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The Levant is a much larger area than merely Syria, including also Cyprus, parts of Turkey, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan and parts of Egypt.
Some analysts say that Obama is quite purposeful in his terminology. Chuck Todd, of NBC's Meet the Press, has opined that "since the Obama administration has shown much more willingness to attack ISIS in Iraq than they have to attack them in Syria, they seem to have decided it is in their best interest to leave the 'S' out of the name."
On the other hand, Harris Faulkner of Fox News, agreed with those who said that Obama is “tipping his hat” to ISIS by calling them ISIL. “Levant is a bigger territory,” she said. “That’s why they want to embrace that name and it includes many, many more countries than just Syria.”
Analyst Liz Peek of The Fiscal Times wrote last year that by referring to such large territorial magnitude, the U.S. President "takes the focus off the two countries that many believe define Obama’s continued failure in the Middle East."
