Does anyone doubt that if the same Arab terrorists could get their hands on&nbsp;50,000 living Israeli Jews&nbsp;they would&nbsp;think twice about&nbsp;burning them?&nbsp; And&nbsp;if they could&nbsp;incinerate&nbsp;6,000,000 Israeli Jews? In fact, they would care more about&nbsp;the chickens.<\/p>\n<p>But, what do most&nbsp;Israeli Jews do when they&nbsp;read that 50,000 live&nbsp;chickens were incinerated by&nbsp;local Arabs?&nbsp; They get up, get on the bus to work, act like nothing is happening, and vote for Benny Gantz, even though they know in their heart of hearts he is for a two-state solution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Well, something is happening and&nbsp;Israeli Jews had better wake up.&nbsp;Iran wants to burn Israel and its 6,000,000 Israeli Jews to a crisp.&nbsp; Israel is in the middle of defending itself against the threat of a genocidal war of total annihilation.&nbsp; And&nbsp;Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu is Israel\u2019s Winston Churchill.&nbsp; Actually, he isn\u2019t just Israel\u2019s Winston Churchill, he is the world\u2019s Winston Churchill, because, Winston Churchill didn\u2019t just save England, he saved the world.<\/p>\n<p>Israel needs to understand the terrible reality that even if a week goes by without&nbsp;rockets, an&nbsp;Arab terrorist horribly&nbsp;murdering a young Israeli&nbsp;or a Palestinian Arab terrorist blowing himself up in a&nbsp;caf\u00e9, Israel is still in a war for its very existence.&nbsp; That\u2019s an evil reality, but it is <em>the<\/em> reality.&nbsp; There is some hope and movement in some of the Arab world where there may a change in mindset.&nbsp; But that day is still very far into the future.&nbsp; Today, the Arabs, fueled by Iranian money and its malignant designs, stand ready to murder every one of the 6,000,000 Jews of Israel.<\/p>\n<p>In World War II,&nbsp;there was a period early in the war called \u201cThe Phoney War,\u201d where from September 1939 to May 1940 Germany didn\u2019t attack and everything looked deceptively, but delusionally, peaceful. The only \u201cwar\u201d during this Phoney War was when France invaded western Germany\u2019s Saar district.&nbsp;Israel is living through many \u201cPhoney\u201d Wars where everything looks, but isn\u2019t, peaceful. &nbsp;It\u2019s an ugly reality, but the Jews have to steel themselves and remember that there are those who wish them to disappear.<\/p>\n<p>Winston Churchill was far from perfect; Benjamin Netanyahu is far from perfect. Every leader is far from perfect, but&nbsp;in the middle of plans to start a war of genocide against the Jews, one doesn\u2019t indict the heroic leader who is successfully leading the fight against the enemy.&nbsp;&nbsp;6,000,000 Israeli Jews need to understand that, right now,&nbsp;Binyamin&nbsp;Netanyahu is their first, and last, line of defense against a terrible fate.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Mark Langfan is the chairman of Americans for a Safe Israel (AFSI) and specializes in security issues.
