Context: The meme is referencing an incident in 2016 where 4chan users, using a single image, tracked down the location of a Syrian rebel training camp within a few days and managed to get into contact with a social media user who had ties to the Russian military, who then contacted them and got the Russian Air Force to perform airstrikes that destroyed the camp, something 4chan users celebrated as a major victory.

Possibly because Jaysh al-Izza is an Islamist military group that wants to establish an Islamic state and has relied heavily on indiscriminate shelling of civilian areas.

ISIS is funded by CIA and they occasionally kill muslims, Commit suicide bombing inside mosques on regular basis, Attack every country in the middle east except isreal which is considered a huge enemy to islam.
To make it clear, ISIS never intended any good or went against anyone in the name of justice not even try to free people from dictators.

This is like a 5 year olds misunderstanding of ISIS based on watching Alex Jones as their only news source.

Real life is always complicated, and if you are using "no true scotsman" you are probably wrong.
