Natan Sharansky, a human rights activist and former Soviet dissident, is a former Israeli government minister and deputy prime minister.

As we brace for Iran's response and the possibility of a longer war to follow, we are also witnessing the historic test of two assumptions that have long guided Israeli and international policy.
