Seth Liebsohn: The World Should Be Thanking Israel

Iran turned down opportunity after opportunity to forgo its nuclear enrichment, and, just as the International Atomic Energy Agency reported Iran was in non-compliance with its non-proliferation obligations, yet again, Iran declared it was opening up yet another enrichment facility. All this as Iran’s leadership pledges to liquidate Israel.

Iran has taken American hostages and killed Americans by the hundreds—from Beirut to Khobar, to Iraq to Israel. It has attempted to assassinate Donald Trump and several of his cabinet officials not to mention American journalists living here.

Ignoring all this political irresponsibility and blood lust would, itself, be irresponsible. When Israel took out Iraq’s nuclear capabilities in 1981, the world denounced Israel when it should have thanked her. Given Iran’s threats and actions, Israel acted as it did in 1981—and will be denounced again. But given Iran’s continued tote board of killing, war declarations and actions, this was a peace mission and Israel should again be thanked.
