Israel Has Saved Us All from Nuclear Enemies
(Telegraph-UK) Stephen Pollard - Just last week, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) declared that Iran was in breach of its non-proliferation obligations. The threat of an Iranian nuclear weapon has not been theoretical but very real and increasingly imminent. Israel has been acting not only on its own behalf but on behalf of all those Middle Eastern states which have been destabilized by Iran - and on behalf of the West itself. This is a familiar story; twice before Israel has saved us all from nuclear enemies, in 1981 when it destroyed Saddam's reactor in Iraq and in 2007 when it destroyed Assad's facilities in Syria. This is the time for action by a clear-eyed state which understands the threat posed by its enemy and is willing to act to defend itself by neutering that threat. It is essential that Israel finishes the job it began. Israel has not started a war - it has prevented one.
