If ISIS starts attacking he Jewish state directly in one of their major cities it would be a game changer. They would likely enter the fray in Syria and Iraq.

(48,181 posts)Israel has a long history of terrorist attacks. Another terrorist attack would not be transformative, nor would they "enter the fray" over it. Besides they are already "in the fray" with their long standing policy, aligned with Saudi and the US, to tilt toward Sunni factions in the Shia Sunni wars. p.s., ISIS is part of the Sunni side.

(90 posts)Because ISIS knows Israel will go Patton's 3rd Army on them and steamroll through Damascus with 4,000 tanks. Or they'll drop a nuke.
Slightly irritated American air power with no ground support? Meh.
3 million pissed off Jews next door with Merkavas, nukes and a prime minister that will use them if threatened? They don't want that...
