ISIS isn't against "the occupation." From the ISIS point of view, someone who is "against the occupation" is someone who accepts the existence of Israel, someone whose goal is to get Israel out of the West Bank and Gaza and then they are done. ISIS wants to get rid of Israel completely, not limit Israel to its internationally-recognized borders. ISIS sees Hamas the way the Trots see Bernie Sanders, as an accommodationist actor which is obstructing the progress of the pure line.
