By "some support" you mean extensive training and material support, then sure... I guess...

I think it would be fair to call them French/Belgian ISIS members. There is no requirement that you must be Syrian to be a member of ISIS.

European communist terrorists in the 70s were getting trained in Palestinian terrorists camps. They would even get weapons there. They are still European movements.

Pretending that it was a foreign aggression is a lie.

I don't see how that example applies. You're trying to compare ISIS (a group brought together by a common ideology) to Palestinians (a nationality/ethnicity).

You're drawing a foreign/domestic distinction when none exists. There is no reason someone cannot be Belgian, and also a member of ISIS. What is your criteria for inclusion in "ISIS" if it's not someone saying "I'm with ISIS"?
