(Gatestone Institute) Dr. Majid Rafizadeh - How many of the world's most vicious terrorists has Israel liberated the world from in a few short weeks? Little Israel is showing the world how to win again - and saving civilization and a free way of life in the bargain. The multi-front war that Israel is currently waging against the Iranian regime and its numerous terrorist proxies is a battle that the West should have taken on long ago. Western nations, through diplomatic miscalculations, cowardice, and a fear of conflict, have essentially outsourced their responsibilities for maintaining global peace to Israel, watching from the sidelines as the conflict ramps up. Israel, smaller than New Jersey, is left grappling with the world's top state sponsor of terrorism, Iran, as well as the well-armed proxies that the Iranian regime uses to protect itself from retaliation. Instead of helping Israel defeat Iran's terrorism and towering abuses of human rights, or even just thanking it, the West goes out of its way to defame, sabotage and attack Israel. Meanwhile, Iran, which is in the final stages of producing an atomic bomb, is arming Russia in its war on Ukraine, arming terrorist groups in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen, and is deeply intertwined with other enemies of the West - Russia, China and North Korea. It is a grotesque reflection on the international community not to be offering unequivocal support to Israel, whose struggle is not just for its own survival but for the security and peace of the Free World. The writer is president of the International American Council on the Middle East.
