Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday, calling on nations around the world to decide where they stand, emphasizing that if "Hamas and Iran's axis of evil" prevail, they will target others next.
"It is a time for all of us to decide if we are willing to fight for a future of hope and promise or surrender to tyranny and terror," he wrote.
Following Hamas's initial terrorist attacks on Oct. 7 and subsequent taking of Israeli civilians and other foreign nationals as hostages, President Joe Biden has reiterated the United States's steadfast support of the Jewish state and its right to defend itself. However, Biden faces calls from a growing faction on the Left to call for a ceasefire between Israel and the terrorist organization.
This is advice Biden hasn't heeded and is unlikely to change his mind on. Nonetheless, Netanyahu made it clear that "just as the U.S. wouldn’t have agreed to a ceasefire after the bombing of Pearl Harbor or after the terrorist attack on 9/11, Israel will not agree to a cessation of hostilities with Hamas after the horrific attacks of Oct. 7."
White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan wouldn't say on Sunday whether Israel was conducting its offensive in the best possible way in terms of minimizing civilian casualties in Gaza. He, instead, reiterated that the U.S. continues to urge Israel to do everything it can to protect civilians.
Victory over Iran's "axis of terror" means making a "moral distinction between the deliberate murder of the innocent and the unintentional casualties that are the inevitable result of even the most just war," according to Netanyahu.

Yes, that's entirely possible.
Is it possible that Israeli intelligence knew what was about to happen on 9/11
(plotted in their own backyard) and did not share that intelligence with the US?
>”Hamas and Iran’s axis of evil” prevail, they will target others next.<
Duh!
Taliban camps in Afghanistan were roughly 2,500 miles from Jerusalem.
NOT a problem when you have one of the world’s best intel-gathering outfits
at your beck and call, 24/7, as Israel does ..... collected for its own pressing security needs.
And you do know, of course......a key part of the US tax dollars flowing to Israel
is conditioned on their sharing w/ the the US, the crucial intel it gathers in the volatile Mideast.
We have seen w/ 9/11, that the safety and security of US citizens,
their very lives imperiled....when we dont get Mideast intel.
