The three salesmen -Netanyahu, Ya'alon and Gantz

Those leaders, however, are paying the price for their own errors as well. Obama took pride in the “achievement” of withdrawing American forces from Iraq, he balked and decided to back down from his threats to attack Syria, and in return he got ISIS and the brutal murder of James Foley. According to intelligence officials quoted in the media, the fear that ISIS operatives (especially those like Foley’s murderer, who have Western passports) will now conduct major terrorist attacks on American or European soil is very real. One can only shudder with horror at the thought of what might happen if American and European foot-dragging allows Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon. And Prime Minister Netanyahu is absolutely right that all of these groups (Hamas, ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Iran, etc.) are ultimately all the same.

History has shown time and again that what starts with attacks against Jews never ends there. Thousands of years ago, God told Abraham “I will bless those who bless you, and those who curse you I will curse” (Genesis 12:3). It has been true throughout history, and it is happening again in front of our eyes.
