Now that even Barack Obama has conceded ISIS is a genuine threat to the Middle East and to America’s national security – and not just a JV basketball team, as he previously suggested – everyone is scratching their heads about how to destroy the head-chopping fanatics.

Few want to send American military personnel to Iraq, again – especially under the direction of a “commander in chief” who spends most of his waking hours on the golf course or blaming his predecessors for every new problem he himself creates. Personally, and let me be brutally honest, I don’t trust Obama with any further use of the military – anywhere, anytime.

We all know there will be no international coalition formed to fight ISIS.

We all know the United Nations option would be totally ineffective – except for the possibility that ISIS forces would die laughing at the sign of “peacekeepers.”

We also know that no Arab military is going to take them on. If Syria, with the help of Iran, can’t chase ISIS out of its own country, that’s simply not a realistic scenario.

So who then?

There is an answer – an obvious one. But the world isn’t going to like it. The Arab world isn’t going to like it – even if it, pardon the expression, saves their bacon. The U.N. won’t like it. The anti-Semites of Europe won’t like it.

The one military in the Middle East that could do the job would be the Israeli military. And Israel is properly motivated to take on the task if the world asked nicely, especially after the beheading of American-Israeli journalist Steven Sotloff, a Jewish descendant of Holocaust survivors. ISIS is hitting close to home with Jerusalem – everyone knows their ultimate target, along with New York and Washington.

Even the “doves” in Israel know that.

Labor Party leader Isaac Herzog had this to say recently: “ISIS’ growing power and its proximity to Israel could pose a strategic threat to Israel.” That’s an understatement because ISIS is inching closer to its borders both in Syria and by threatening Jordan and, even worse, with more homegrown support for the Islamists in neighboring states and among the Palestinians. ISIS flags have been spotted in Judea, Samaria, Gaza and even Jerusalem.

Last week, Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon signed an order officially outlawing ISIS, a move that would make it a crime to raise money or otherwise express support for the jihadist movement.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been trying to drive home the point that Hamas, Israel’s No. 1 enemy of the moment, and ISIS are virtually one in the same – both Sunni Islamist organizations spawned by the Muslim Brotherhood and both sworn to Shariah law through murder and terror. In fact, Hamas has also been behind the recent executions of American-Israeli citizens, like 16-year-old Naftali Frenkel.

But the world chooses to see Israel as an aggressor because it fights fire with fire – defending itself ably against Hamas’ unceasing barrage of rockets fired at the Jewish state’s cities and towns.

Ever wonder why so much of the world sees tiny, democratic Israel as evil Goliath — and the gigantic Arab-Muslim world filled with terror groups sworn to annihilate Israel and kill all Jews, as brave little righteous David? Here’s the answer.

Is there a chance the world would see the light now that ISIS has made it clear to everyone its intent to establish a caliphate through sheer brute force?

Don’t hold your breath.

There’s something behind the anti-Israel mentality of so much of the world that defies logic, rationality and even self-interest. It’s a kind of Satanic anti-Semitism that has been at the root of Jewish persecution from time immemorial. It comes in waves over time – and the tide is coming in in the 21st century.

Still, for my money, this is the best option we have. Israel is, if anything, overly cautious about the use of force – especially when the lives of innocents and collateral damage are at risk. It’s true right now in Gaza, though the world refuses to see it.

Israel could take care of ISIS. I’m not sure any other power on Earth can right now.
