The U.S. and Israel Are Busy Saving the World from Iran
(New York Post) Dan Illouz - For years, gutless bureaucrats in Europe and at the UN have been begging Iran's ayatollahs to play nice. On Saturday, the U.S. and Israel finally ended that pathetic charade. We didn't drop a few warning bombs on empty sand dunes. We went straight for the head of the snake. And how did the "enlightened" international community react to us taking out the world's biggest bullies? They threw a tantrum. Within hours, European leaders were demanding we stop the fighting and go back to the negotiating table. They are perfectly happy to let Iran build a nuclear bomb, as long as it buys them a little temporary quiet. The Jewish people learned the hardest lesson in human history: When a dictator promises to wipe you off the map, you don't invite him to a summit. You stop him cold. Today, Israel is not the helpless, stateless Jewish population of the 1940s. We aren't waiting around for the UN to rescue us. We are incredibly grateful that President Donald Trump and the American military stood shoulder to shoulder with us to do the dirty work the rest of the world was too scared to do. By crippling Iran's terror machine, Israel and America aren't just protecting Jerusalem; we are protecting New York, London, and the rest of the Free World.
