There are many critics of the State of Israel, and Bibi Netanyahu in particular, who claim that Israel dragged America into the war with Iran. This is 5% correct and 95% exaggeration. But the fact that Israel has been at the forefront of the war on terror is indeed true. And the fact that Bibi Netanyahu has been laser focused on confronting the threat from Iran for at least 4 decades is also true. The proper verb is not “dragged” but “led’.”
It is fair to say that the entire free world owes an enormous debt of gratitude to Bibi Netanyahu for preserving world peace by not allowing the leaders of the free world to be asleep at the wheel while a colossus of terror was built up in the Middle East that threatened the entire world. Joe Biden was the enabler of terror in chief, while Barack Obama basically encouraged a Middle East with Iran as the dominant force of the region.
Netanyahu learned the lessons well from World War II. Allowing a dangerous dictator with goals of worldwide domination to go unchecked can lead to the loss of lives of millions of people – Jews and non-Jews alike. Yes – that also includes Americans on the other side of the Atlantic. FDR knew this in the 1930’s, but was unable to bring the American public to a point of willingness to sacrifice until the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. That woke up the American public and garnered the support necessary to place hundreds of thousands of G.I.’s in Europe and hundreds of thousands of G.I.’s to the Far East to confront Japan. That was the turning point that was 100% necessary.
The price was enormous, but the free world was preserved from the designs of a madman in Germany who had assumed power and was growing at a dangerous pace that threatened the entire world. Churchill was right when he promised blood sweat, and tears. The willingess to say it like it is is not something that many leaders possess. Netanyahu is one of those rare leaders who possesses this trait. He does not merely bend towards the will of the people. He leads them towards the goal that they all know must be paramount – the safety of the State of Israel in a dangrous sea of threats.
That is why President Trump admires and was willing to go along with Netanyahu’s ideas to rid the free world of the threat of the Iranian Ayatollahs. It was simple common sense, something that President Trump possesses in abundance. Europe was in imminent danger and Iran’s pace of buildup had become frantic and rapid due to cooperation from China and Russia.
The world owes a huge thank you to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
