Britain's House of Commons Leader: "UK Can Learn Lessons from Israel on How to Mount a Formidable Defense"
(Daily Mail-UK) MP Penny Mordaunt - Ten days ago we had gone to bed with the news that an armada of drones and missiles were already in the air, due to strike Israel. Yet by morning the Israelis emerged to find virtually no damage to their country. Pretty much all of the 300 weapons had been intercepted and destroyed. Iran had done its worst and Israel had done its best. It had stood up to the determined and deluded leadership of its bigger undemocratic bullying neighbor and survived. It should be celebrated by all democracy-loving countries. Britain has been right to stand alongside our ally. Israel's ability to defend itself, and later its targeted and limited response against Iran, showcased its capabilities. You don't have to be a big country to be a powerful one. Israel has just under 10 million people. There are lessons to be learned by how such a small nation can mount such a formidable defense. Strength is a choice.
