Because Israel is behind ISIS. Whenever you see something like this threat "not a single jew will be left in Jerusalem or the country" you can bet your last dollar that it originates among jews. They put on whatever mask they think they have to at any instance. They've always got to present themselves as threatened, cornered, beat down, vulnerable. They've always done this.

The reason why ISIS is allowed to even breathe is because they (US and Israel) want them to take out Assad. The reason why they want to take out Assad is because Assad is the only ally left for Iran in that region. Once he is gone and a non-pro Iranian government is installed Iran is isolated and in a very weak position. Its only allies it has left are China and Russia who are too far geographically to be of any help indirectly. This is why Russia has decided to step up and bomb ISIS and is doing an excellent job at it. They've decided that Assad was close to being toppled and had to step in. The whole goal of US/Israel is to isolate Iran and take it out.

And expand those Jews into it.
It's not going to work though. America has never really won a war.

Which isn't a bad plan. Iran is the only Muslim radical state with a prayer of attaining nuclear weapons in this century.
Edit: but we can't say so because we are trying to mitigatetl the threat through peace talks until another option is possible.

Maybe because of Golan Heights and potentially other annex-able lands in Southern Syria??? Assad's regime is the legitimate government of Syria. Why not Israel let all the infighting in Syria weaken themselves, and let the factions kill each other off. Cashing in on Assad's government getting overthrown, and Syria fractured into warring tribes ruled by warlords of different ideologies without a recognized unified government, a collapsed Syria will be ideal for Israel to depopulate and take over empty lands around the Golan Heights area. Also, new potential market for them to sell weapons and drugs to.
