Israel could change the math in the U.S. presidential election with an October surprise, said Robert Baer in the New York Daily News. It’s not unthinkable that Israel would bomb Iran “to stop the regime from becoming a nuclear power.” That might not thrill Washington, but “what many Americans miss is that Iran is a threat to Isreal’s very existence.”
There’s a time for peace, and a time for war, said Robert Rozett in The Jerusalem Post. The world learned from Hitler how dangerous it can be to balk at confronting evil. If it looks like Iran is bent on nuclear war, failing to act would only invite “new destruction on a scale that approaches that unleashed by Hitler.”
