    You’ve been given some decent answers here so I just want to know what prompts a person to not believe this news.

    So ISIS actually owns up to an attack and you want to doubt them and think nah, smells like Ukraine. Like why?

      The one thing most people would expect from a group that calls themselves “fundamentalist islamists” is that they would attack Israel by now.

      It doesn’t smell like Ukraine to me. They have no benefit from these false flags.

        Except Israel is one of the most secure countries against attacks like this, because they have experienced many attacks like this. And they are doing everything they can do to prevent similar attacks, including using racial profiling and other authoritarian tactics(apartheid).

        It is much easier for radical islamists living in Russia, places like Dagestan/Chechnya or living in neighbouring muslim countries, to go to Russia.

        Now you might say, why would they attack Russia? Because Russia has been attacking ISIS(and affiliates) in both Syria and Africa. And thats on top of the Chechen wars, Afghanistan invasion or maybe more relevant, the Tajikistani war(since the perpetrators seem to be from Tajikistan).

        What you need to understand is that ISIS(ISIS-K) is against everyone. They are against the Taliban in Afghanistan, against Iran, against Pakistan, etc.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_against_the_Islamic_State#Involvement_by_country

        Literally every nation on earth(including Russia and China) is listed as actively opposing ISIS.

        Again, if the horse is telling you they did it. Why doubt the horse?

        This isn’t about Israel it’s about Syria.
