(Daily Express-UK) Col. (ret.) Richard Kemp - Israel had no choice than to strike when it did. There are some risks you do not take. Perhaps the greatest is to allow acquisition of nuclear weapons by a fanatical religious tyranny with a track record of unrestrained violence that repeatedly declares its intention to annihilate you. No Israelis that I have spoken to over here in the days since Israel launched its pre-emptive war doubt the need for it. Even opposition leaders, sworn political rivals of Prime Minister Netanyahu, are four-square behind his actions, unheard of in this country. Of course all Israelis recognize the current dangers to themselves, and almost all of them have been forced to take refuge in bomb shelters several times every day since last weekend. But they understand they would face hugely greater dangers in just sitting back and watching Iran becoming a nuclear armed state. The writer, a former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, was chairman of the UK's national crisis management committee, COBRA. 2025-06-20 00:00:00Full Article
