Hasan Piker claimed that it's weird ISIS never attacks Israel. What we want to do is explore whether this claim is accurate or not. Users have claimed it is false and highlights Hasan's lack of knowledge of the Middle East, especially recent events.
ISIS and its affiliates have explicitly called for attacks against Israel and have carried out or inspired attacks within Israeli territory. You can check our evidence section below for more details on this.
ISIS's violence is not exclusively directed at Muslims. While most of their victims are indeed Muslim (often those they deem "apostates" or "infidels" due to sectarian differences or opposition to their ideology), ISIS has also targeted non-Muslims globally. They have claimed responsibility for attacks in various countries against Christian communities, Yazidis, and others, and have explicitly called for attacks against Christians and Jews.
