A secret United Nations assessment has reportedly determined that North Korea is providing chemical weapons technology to the Syrian government.  The two have also cooperated on nuclear arms – as the North Koreans have long done with another, mutual ally: Iran.

A former top Iranian general recently threatened to use such arms to “flatten” Israel’s biggest city, Tel Aviv.  And the top general currently leading America’s Central Command has described Russia – yet another common ally of all three members of this “axis of evil” – as “both arsonist and fireman” in Syria.

Add into the mix an estimated 150,000 Iranian-supplied rockets and missiles in the hands of Hezbollah – including some surely now in Syria, as well as Lebanon – and the stage is set for an horrific regional war.  We must stand with Israel as it contends with these increasingly existential threats.
