That's a pretty big "but/only."

One dropped some bombs and the other sent in 160,000 ground troops, spent billions of dollars, and dragged out the U.S. involvement for many years.

These two scenarios are not at all similar.

Why would ISIS care about nukes or, really , any military resistance?

They don't.

These guys are prepared to die no matter what. Nukes are only a deterrent when the other guy doesn't want to die.

Because their efforts are focused on bigger targets in Europe and the US. Their ultimate target is and always will be the United States. IMO, they are working on this rather than working on hitting Israel. Also, the shock value of hitting Israel is not as great as hitting places like France, England, or the US.

Israel lacks PC BS...the Jews vowed never again after WWII and won't pontificate about how it is insensitive to not allow confirmed ISIS citizens back into their country.

they are gangbangers in large numbers who attack and grab-- they have no way to get into Israel-- they radicalize the locals younger pi++ off young people and get them to do the dirty work in other countries. We have arrested 250 from the US but we have a cut in INTEL funding-- whose to say--

Why is isis hands off Israel?

A case of not biting the hand that enables you?

Quote:
What is being staged is the creation of an exclusively “Muslim Middle East” area (excluding Israel) that will be in turmoil over Shiite-Sunni fighting. A similar scenario is being staged for a “non-Black North Africa” area which will be characterized by a confrontation between Arabs and Berber. At the same time, under the “Clash of Civilizations” model, the Middle East and North Africa are slated to simultaneously be in conflict with the so-called “West” and “Black Africa.”

In the past, the colonial powers of Western Europe would indoctrinate their people. Their objective was to acquire popular support for colonial conquest. This took the form of spreading Christianity and promoting Christian values with the support of armed merchants and colonial armies.

At the same time, racist ideologies were put forth. The people whose lands were colonized were portrayed as “sub-human,” inferior, or soulless. Finally, the “White Man’s burden” of taking on a mission of civilizing the so-called “uncivilized peoples of the world” was used. This cohesive ideological framework was used to portray colonialism as a “just cause.” The latter in turn was used to provide legitimacy to the waging of “just wars” as a means to conquering and “civilizing” foreign lands.

Today, the imperialist designs of the United States, Britain, France, and Germany have not changed. What has changed is the pretext and justification for waging their neo-colonial wars of conquest. During the colonial period, the narratives and justifications for waging war were accepted by public opinion in the colonizing countries, such as Britain and France. Today’s “just wars” and “just causes” are now being conducted under the banners of women’s rights, human rights, humanitarianism, and democracy.

Good question and I haven't thought about that angle. I agree with others, I think Israel does less hand wringing and pearl clutching when it comes to their self-preservation. America is going at this with one hand tied behind it's back.

Mossad owns at least some their leaders, at least enough to control an idiotic rabble. They are just begging for conflict with Russia, France etc but they don't want to confront Israel until they consolidate? Come on , something sucked their brains dry. Hey credit to Israel, at least they get something for our tax dollars that we don't , a competent spy agency.
