World press on Iranian-Israeli conflict (Septemeber 6, 2012)

The Jerusalem Post has published an article by Michael Freund headlined 'Israel must act against Iran'.

'Despite several rounds of international sanctions, Iran continues to advance its atomic ambitions with dogged determination, defying the world as it marches steadily toward the nuclear finish line,' the author says.

'And yet, even as this existential threat grows ominously more real, the United States, France and other Western countries seem more resolute about thwarting an Israeli pre-emptive strike than stopping Iran from going nuclear.'

'Is that how we want Israel to end up? If George W. Bush was not prepared to take action to prevent North Korea from acquiring nuclear weapons, does anyone really believe that Barack Obama will be tougher than his predecessor against Tehran? This is more than just a political or philosophical musing. It is a matter of life and death for the Jewish state and we cannot afford to gamble our future and that of our children on the outcome,' the article reads.

'Clearly, diplomacy has failed and sanctions and pressure have not succeeded in deterring the ayatollahs.'

'As frightening as it sounds, Israel has no choice but to act. We need to bomb Iran before it is too late,' the author concludes.
