With ISIS carving out more territory each day, why haven't they attacked Israel?

Their headquarters is very close to Israel, yet they don't seem to be focused on Israel at all...or at least we haven't heard about attempted attacks.

The United States and Shia Muslims seem to be their public enemy #1, but I thought Israel was the big bad boogeyman in that region for all Muslim sects.

Seems odd.

I assume Israel and the U.S. would annihilate ISIS if that occurred.

Because Israel has tanks and jets and a well trained military that would show them no mercy.

Israel would kick their jihadist arse back to Allah, that's why!

Supposedly Jordan has the same thing. Maybe not as good as the IDF, but certainly serviceable.

ISIS's game is to go after failed states. They go where organized, competent armies and unsympathetic populations aren't. That's why they're picking a fight in the power Vacuum of Eastern Syria, in anarchic Libya, in the Sunni territories of Iraq, and against the Kurds. Israel is too organized for them to fight at this point. ISIS needs more men, more armor, and fewer unconquered foes in the field before they can even think of challenging Israel.

nice question, but the Dutch are not within real striking distance...
Israel, like the US getting soft...
pay Now or Pay Later...I'd rather be Straight Before the bet rather than after.

The Israelis dont drop their guns and run when they see ISIS, they would shoot back.

ISIS are ruthless and crazy; I wouldn't put it past them to actually go after Israel eventually.

They're already in Gaza, threatening to topple Hamas.

And Big O is not overly fond of Israel...it will be interesting to see what happens.

Because we care about the ordinary citizens under Isis control. Israel could give two fricks and would bomb them unmercifully till the whole region was ashes and sand.

Israel would love the opportunity to show the rest of the Middle East their capabilities by taking out the annoying a-hole at the party.

They're just waiting for the annoying a-hole to throw a cup at them.

Are you going for the Jews are behind ISIS? If that's what you're going for, lay off the weed.
