Israel's point of view is much more extreme against Iran than the U.S.


Click here to see animation from Israel from Youtube right now:  The 28-second animation or go below and read article first and you then have two ways below also to see video if you are interested. I don't necessarily agree with this point of view, however, this is how a lot of Israel appears to think about Iran, which I find a little strange because ISIS is sworn to kill all Shiite Muslims which is who the governing body of Iran is. So, it is hard for me to make sense of that in this context other than to think Israel sees Iran basically the same as ISIS only bigger.

Israel’s Cartoon Diplomacy Equates Iran and Islamic State


Apparently undeterred by the backlash over its last venture into cartoon diplomacy, Israel’s government released an animated video on Tuesday that equates the threat from Islamic State militants to that of a nuclear-armed Iran.


The 28-second animation, uploaded to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s official accounts on social networks, attempts to erase the distinction between the Sunni Muslim extremists of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria and their sworn enemies, the Shiite Muslim clerics who rule the Islamic Republic of Iran. To that end, Iran is referred to not by its proper name but as “the Islamic State of Iran.”
