Things are not going to "chill out" when ISIS is defeated.

God Bless the Kurds and God Bless the US and our allies.

Lots of ISIS camps along the Golan Heights, although Israel won’t let Syrian government forces take them out.

Someone needs to set the Israelis straight about this, pronto.

I think Israel believes ISIS is a leverage against more competent Arabic nations posing potential threat to Israel.

That monster! He believes that he has a right to retake Syrian lands! And he is openly defying our government’s very own jihadi rebel groups right to take over!

Whats this world coming to when people like Assad don’t just accept it when McCain and the neocons have decided that a government needs to be changed?

That a fiction our Generals and neoCONs are pushing, that ISIS is all anyone should worry about there. And that our jihadis are making the world safe for democracy.

This policy was pure Obama and Clinton.

Israel has a choice, either stop supporting ISIS terrorists or stop getting support from the United States.

The notion that they can have it both ways is over.

ISIS is Sunni. Syrian Alawites are token Shia. Both Shia and Sunni consider Alawites as heretics.

The elements along Israel's borders? I know some are there, exactly who or what are not clear to me.

ISIS is Sunni.

Don't try to rationalize...ISIS are head chopping mutant scum and the mortal enemy of Western civilization...there is no normalization of ISIS.

Israel has NO business allowing ISIS to set up camp on its door step for ANY reason, and by preventing SAA from going after ISIS in the Golan area Israel becomes complicit.

That's not a good look for any 'civilizad' country and Israel is NO exception.
