Israel Isn't Going to Allow Itself to Be Destroyed to Retain the World's Goodwill
(JNS) Jonathan S. Tobin - On April 15, there was a dramatic rise in the number of votes in the U.S. Senate against giving Israel the weapons it needs to deal with its enemies in its existential war against Iran and its Hamas and Hizbullah auxiliaries. Do these politicians really expect Israel - whether led by Netanyahu or any possible alternative - to share their delusions, while they ignore the fact that the Jewish state has no current peace partner and that Palestinian Arabs don't want a two-state solution? Do they think Israeli citizens will commit suicide to retain the world's goodwill? Even those who will vote against Netanyahu understand that the terrorist attacks that took place on Oct. 7 were just a trailer for what the Palestinians want to do to the rest of the Jewish state. Israel isn't going to allow itself to be destroyed, even if its critics retake Congress and the White House in the coming years.
