Frankly, ISIS as an army doesn't have the capability to invade Israel.
In the short term a destabilized Syria is actually good for Israeli security. Hizbullah is too busy fighting ISIS to focus on Israel, and they, along with their Iranian backers are bleeding resources that would otherwise go into fighting Israel. Who knows what sort of discussions are going on between Israel and the Gulf States behind the scenes, but they typically stay out of these regional conflicts as most Sunni states cannot be seen as being allied with Israel, even Jordan, Turkey and Egypt.
Anyway, they are at least tactically engaged in the Syrian proxy war against Iran.
anyone other than me wondering why isis doesnt screw with Isreal? thoughts opinions?
Because israel has a real military, guns tanks planes and they will defend themselves to the last man or woman? And US will have to deploy troops too. We are allies.
Chasing a bunch of unarmed men women and children out of "your" land is easy compared to trying to chase someone out who can f up your day.

ISIS is a deadlier version of street gangs. Actually, street gangs in the USA would be easier to flush out than than ISIS. We know where the gang members are. They are citizens of this country. Consider this. There were a group of men who gained contacts with Ghaddafi. They planned to have government buildings in the USA bombed. Was this a cell of ISIS, Al-Qaeda, or the Taliban? No. It was a Chicago-based African-American street gang known as the Black P-Stones. They also go by the name Al-Rukns. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almigh...._Stone_Nation
Stopping them was easy. Tap the phones, cut off Jeff Fort by putting him in the Supermax. Stopping ISIS is harder. ISIS has the goal of establishing a Caliphate via killing anyone who isn't for it. The "Almighty" Black P. Stone Nation is a bunch of gang members who sell drugs, kill each other and other African-Americans, and basically, be wreckless and do nilly-willy. The P. Stones operate in specific neighborhoods in the USA, and in the USA, we have rule of law. ISIS, however, operates in places where law and order is a joke.
Basically, ISIS is similar to a street gang in the sense that they don't answer to the President of the respective nations. They answer to violence and their own goal of a Caliphate. They know that if they go against a nation that has rule of law, and will use force when attacked, and is better equipped to deal with it, well, it won't end well. Look what happened to Hezbollah.
Operate like an army, get attacked like an army. Operate like a street gang, well, it's harder to deal with.
Your links are nothing more than racist, holocaust denying, anti-Jew propaganda. Only white-supremists feed off such garbage.
I'm a Jew! If you're so bent over the links that I posted, simply Google it yourself and you'll find dozens of other links that no matter how you twist it, can't all be construed as "racist, holocaust denying, anti-Jew propaganda"! Sounds to me like your mind is so twisted that you can't handle the TRUTH when it goes against your desires!
Maybe all an Israeli has to do is say: "Six Day War" as a little reminder?
I suspect that would be a factor. That and memories of Hezbollah.
In addition, Israel is pretty much the only democratic nation in the Middle East outside of Turkey. ISIS depends on an unstable or nonfunctional government to flourish. Israel does not fit that mold.

I stand behind what I said about your links. Beitbart is anti-Jew. One of your other sources I looked up on Wikipedia that states that they support Holocaust denial. Your dozen or so other links undoubtedly point back to the same bogus "news" article. That's the way propaganda works. Somebody makes something up and a dozen other racist sites reference it like it's a fact.
Furthermore, I'm not the slightest bit impressed that you claim you're a Jews. On of the most virulent antisemites I know claims he's a Jew too. I don't know whether such people are liars or self-hating Jews. If you're going to convince anyone that Israel supports Isis, you're going to have to do MUCH better than that.
