I can’t wait to see the IDF tear the ISIS bastards apart. Like the first Gulf War. Bets on how many [few] hours it takes them?

But this would put Israel in a difficult spot. Sure, they could demolish ISIS in a VERY short time, but the political result might be to unite and inflame the Muslim world against them.
It’s not fair and it doesn’t make sense. But that’s an operative definition of Islam.
In each engagement with Egypt, the Egyptians had us outnumbered, had better weapons, and were motivated by Islam and had a charismatic leader (Nassir) and all sorts of allies, while we had Levi Eshkol and David Ben Gurion, neither of whom were about much. And each time they were routed. Fatalism is Islam’s achilles’ heel. Take the initiative, get them running, and they will figure Allah is not with them today, and keep running. Equivocate, have convoluted ROE that make you have to phone in to HQ every time you have someone in your sights, give a little ground, and they figure the opposite and become in their own eyes unstoppable, until they start suffering reversals, at which point the illusion is shattered and they run.
