Now that the world has witnessed the horror and slaughter of Christians, Yazidis and Shia at the hand of the IS militants, I do hope that people, no matter where they stand politically, will realise that terrorist organisations like IS and all the others that infest the Middle East and Africa need to be confronted and defeated.

At the forefront of this battle in the Middle East is a democratic country, Israel. In this battle, Israel deserves our support.
