If you ask Israeli defense officials today about Islamic State (IS)
and Al-Nusra Front members in Syria, and the risk they pose to Israel,
expect one answer with two layers.
At present, the officials estimate, these radical Sunni jihadi
elements do not pose an immediate threat to the Israeli border or to
national security.
They are too busy fighting the army of Basher Assad, Shi'ite
militias, and Hizballah, which has intervened on Assad's side – not to
mention other Syrian rebel groups.
Eventually, however, these organizations will pose a very real
threat to Israel, and the smart thing to do is to prepare for it now, the
officials say.
Note: This analysis has been excerpted, with the approval of the
author, from a much longer scholarly article that will be published in an
academic journal.
"Which will come first, flying cars and vacations to Mars, or a
simple acknowledgement that beliefs guide behavior and that certain
religious ideas – jihad, martyrdom, blasphemy, apostasy – reliably lead
to oppression and murder?"

Clip from 60 Minutes: Ultimately an American citizen unless
the passport is revoked is entitled to come back. So if someone who has
fought with ISIL with an American passport wants to come back, we'll
track them very carefully.
Judge Jeanine: That's FBI director Jim Comey saying they'll
track any Americans returning here after fighting alongside ISIS. Really,
track them, that's it? Why are these guys even allowed back into the
country? With me now founder of the Investigative Project, Steve Emerson,
and National Review columnist Tom Rogan. Good evening gentlemen. You know
Tom, Prime Minister Cameron faced with the same issue on the return of
ISIS fighters returning to the UK is trying to actually prevent them from
coming in. How is he trying to do this?
