Israel's Ancient Struggle to Survive
(JNS) Dr. Fiamma Nirenstein - The people of Israel understand something that the world fails to grasp: Survival comes first and we will do what must be done with skill and precise targeting and action. On the eve of its arch-enemy - the Islamic regime in Iran - building an atomic bomb, it was time for Israel to act. Israel's resilience is not a political calculation. It's a deeply embedded survival instinct - sharpened through centuries of exile, war, and genocide. What all of Israel's enemies still fail to grasp is that the Jewish people do not die quietly. They do not submit to terror. They confront it at its root. What Israel's enemies face is not just a strong state, but a powerful people for whom survival is not optional and for whom life itself is resistance.
