How is it that ISIS is operating literally miles from the hated Jews, yet there have been no ISIS attacks on Israel or any Israeli strikes on ISIS?
The theory put forward is that the Americans have chosen to back the Sunni side against Iran/Hizbullah/proxies and have tolerated the Saudi protégés (ISIS). There is a tacit understanding the Americans/Israelis will leave ISIS alone as long as ISIS does not attack Israel or the American homeland. There is a bit more to it...
How is that for a conspiracy theory? Thoughts?

I think that is totally true. SA and Israel have a very cozy relationship right now.
