How Should Israel Respond to the Houthis?
(Jerusalem Post) Gil Troy - The Houthis' ongoing missile barrage provides the moral clarity Israelis need in battle - and the motivation to keep fighting this multi-front war we spent years trying to avoid. Anyone anxious for the war to end should pressure Hamas and their Qatari bankers to release every hostage, insist that Hamas terrorists free Gaza from their grip, and demand that the Houthis and Iranians stop firing deadly missiles. Too many Americans keep asking: "Why is Israel still fighting?" The real question is: "How can Israel stop now, with so many homicidal maniacs still trying to destroy the Jewish state?" Since Oct. 7, Israelis have scrambled for shelter 31,333 times as over 27,000 rockets were launched at the Jewish state. Yet, we're the aggressor. Palestinians launched 6,349 terror attacks. Yet we're the oppressor. The writer, a Distinguished Scholar of North American History at McGill University, is a Senior Fellow in Zionist Thought at the Jewish People Policy Institute.
