The wildest detail is ISIS' track record.

The largest attacks committed by ISIS recently (that aren't in Africa/Afghanistan, where ISIS is actively operating) have been: Pakistan, Iran, Russia.

Not exactly the US' friends. Meanwhile, Israel, which is literally committing a genocide against a Muslim population and desecrating the third holiest site in Islam, remains almost untouched. In fact, ISIS apologized when they accidentally attacked Israel in the Golan Heights.

Interesting, sounds like Israel doesn't want to get involved in another conflict with ISIS and ISIS is flat out afraid of them.

ISIS isn't afraid of checks notes Iran, Russia, or Pakistan, but Israel is the one that terrifies them?

ISIS has already gotten involved in conflicts with all of those countries. The branch of ISIS probably didn't want Israel getting involved in Syria, and the feeling was mutual.

Israel has been through a holocaust and some of those fuckers took notes, as we see in Gaza.
