Well duh...Hezbollah is Shiite, and ISIS is Sunni. Moreover, Iran, Hezbollah's suppliers, are Persian, and ISIS is mostly Arab. Sunnis vs Shiites and Arabs vs Persian is a very, very old rivalry that continues to this day and likely will continue after we are all long gone.

The Islamic State, or ISIS, has responded to critics who have questioned why its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is not actively supporting Hamas in fighting Israel.


In a statement a spokesperson for the group, Nidal Nuseiri reaffirmed that conquering "Bayt el-Maqdis" (Jerusalem) and destroying the State of Israel is central to the group's "jihad", or holy war.

However, he pointed out that ISIS has been taking a systematic approach in its campaign, and outlined six specific stages it said needed to be fulfilled before taking on Israel.

Israel has strong borders and it would be difficult to get in.

An even more interesting question to ponder would be, how come every single time there is a terrorist attack anywhere in the world, certain people always find a way to spin it to make it Israel's fault?

Because, AnesthesiaMD, of the rise of neoliberalism. Where liberals claim to support gay rights, equality for women, and no discrimination, but instead out of PC they pander to groups that violate those human rights and instead bash the West and its closest ally, Israel, which respects all of them. It's a mix of political correctness, anti-Semitism, hypocrisy, and self-hatred.
