Why does Obama call ISIS "ISIL", and what does it have to do with Israel?

Have you ever noticed that every time Barack Obama talks about ISIS he calls them ISIL?

Every politician, every news outlet, everyone in the world calls the terror group ISIS. President Obama's words are deliberate, consistent and thought out. The reason why may shock you.

Jewish standing and security throughout the diaspora is on a freefall as Islam proliferates and metastasizes globally.

In response to the Muslim imperialism, the US, Europe, and the world are increasing their coercive pressure on Israel to make suicidal gestures such as the two state solution which would be both a denial of the justice of our connection to this land and a death sentence for countless Jews who would perish at the inevitable wave of terror which would result.

In the wake of the attacks on Israel both from within and without, what is the calling of the generations for the Jewish people today? How does the dramatic story of Joseph testing his brothers and revealing himself to them color the prism through which we can understand our times?
