How will Israel survive Obama's naïveté on Iran?

As I watch as Obama appeases the Iranians I wonder if we in Israel will be able to survive.

Obama apparently believes that appeasing totalitarian regimes works.

His Nowruz address will become the classic example of such an attempt. But the history of appeasement is not very encouraging. It has not worked with the Nazis, it has not worked with Arafat's regime, and least of all has it worked with the jihadists.

For those in Europe who have for years believed that their appeasement has brought them less terror and cheap oil can only look around and see what Europe has become with the recent protests in Luton and Malmo.

The US would survive the collapse of its appeasement policy toward Iran, even the scenario of an EMP attack. Israel would not.

Israel should not be made to play the role of a victim of a failed appeasement policy, a learning curve unfortunate error in judgment of a rookie American president. For the lesson learned would have been that an Iranian-Israeli nuclear war would be a disaster not only for Israel but for the US as well. So why make the error in the first place?

As an Israeli citizen I therefore voted for those who have already experienced the futility of appeasing the jihadists in more than 15 failed peace process attempts in the last 15 years and who will in protecting Israel's survival be protecting American interests as well.

[They. Don't. Want. Peace. Any verbiage to the contrary, prior to a Western (in which I include the liberal democracy of Israel) victory, is nothing more than playing us for fools. Again.]
