Confronting Iran's Regime Is a Moral and National Imperative
(Ynet News) Ben-Dror Yemini - This is meant to be a war to reshape the face of the Middle East. Nothing less. Nearly every ring of fire constructed around Israel in recent decades was built by Iran. Regime change will not be simple. Even if most Iranians have grown weary of a regime of repression and terror, there are still tens of millions who support it, who make their living from it, who are complicit in its crimes. They are far more organized and far better armed. War is evil. But there are circumstances in which failing to attack early brings enormous damage later. For decades, we have heard the regime's leaders declare, "Death to America, death to Israel." They mean every word. They truly believe they can destroy Israel. So it is a supreme moral and national duty to the people living in Israel to strike the regime. Without an attack, Iran and Iranian proxies would have grown far stronger. From every moral perspective and under international law, this is a war of no choice. In Jewish tradition, it is a mitzvah war, a commanded war. So move forward, soldiers of Israel, in the Air Force, in intelligence, in the Mossad, and all who are involved. You must succeed. We simply have no other option.
