Why Israel's War Is Ours Too
In your editorial 'Israel's Nuclear Good Deed' (June 14), you rightly urge Washington to support Israel's pre-emptive strikes against Iran. Our cause is just: For months we witnessed the Islamic Republic build up its nuclear-weapons program, and we know its intentions. Yet this battle, which I've participated in against Iran's proxies, isn't merely an existential struggle for Israel. It's a battle for the values of all democracies. Everyone should remember which country is a dictatorship that exports terror and brutally oppresses human rights, and which is the only democracy in the Middle East. Israeli women participated in the attacks against Iran, the regime that brutally suppresses women like Mahsa Amini, beaten to death for not wearing the hijab. Homosexuals march in pride parades in Tel Aviv while sentenced to death in Iran's courts. Most Persian Jews left their homes owing to fear of religious persecution, whereas people from all religious beliefs pray in ancient churches, mosques and synagogues in Jerusalem.
