IS is nothing more or less than Saudi Arabia's own paramilitary shock troops in a war of ethnic cleansing against the upstart Shi'ia. The group also poses no real threat against Israel.

Like AQ, however, they will gladly kill Americans and Europeans and Russians, unless we are actively at war with Iran or its allies.
