Israel's Pursuit of Terrorists in Jenin Echoes U.S. Actions Abroad
(Jerusalem Post) Stephen M. Flatow - When the U.S. carried out airstrikes on Iran-backed terrorists in Syria on March 23, killing 11 of them, President Biden said the airstrikes demonstrated his commitment to the principle that the U.S. must be "prepared to act forcefully to protect our people." Biden was right. Every government must act forcefully to protect its people. In May alone, according to CENTCOM, U.S.-led forces carried out 21 operations against ISIS terrorists in Iraq and an additional 17 operations in Syrian territory. That's 38 U.S.-led anti-terror operations in 30 days. When a U.S. drone strike in Syria killed ISIS terrorist Khalid Ayyd Ahmad al-Jabouri on April 3, the Pentagon said the killing was justified because it "will temporarily disrupt the organization's ability to plot external attacks." That is exactly what Israel is doing when it sends troops into PA cities such as Jenin. Disrupting enemy attacks saves lives. Every Israeli is grateful to the IDF for removing dangerous Palestinian Arab terrorists from the field.
