"While some have wondered what the world might look like if Iran gets nuclear weapons, the reality is that the hundreds of rockets Hamas terrorists fired at Israel during Operation Pillar of Defense have already given us a preview," the article published recently by the Jerusalem Post reads. "Although the ideology of Hamas has its origins in Egypt, the rockets fired at Israeli cities were made in Iran. Given the tremendous suffering caused by Iran, it is time to connect the dots between the regime, terrorism and its pursuit of nuclear weapons. And it is time to take action. Now."
"For too long the international community has turned a blind eye to Iran’s efforts to supply rockets to terrorists in Gaza. Although the short-range Kassam rockets are made in Gaza, the Grad rockets, with a range of 48 kilometers, are supplied by Iran through a highly complex smuggling route: Iran to Sudan, through the Sinai peninsula and then through tunnels to Gaza. For the past six years, Grad rockets have plagued major Israeli cities like Ashdod, Ashkelon and Beersheba," the author of the article, Bob Feferman, writes. "Recently, Iran has supplied the longer range Fajr- 5 rockets to terrorists in Gaza. For the first time, these rockets have been fired at Jerusalem and Tel Aviv."
"Why does Iran invest so much into supplying thousands of rockets to terrorists dedicated to the destruction of Israel? Regardless of the answer, the question itself should concern the entire world. It is time to recognize that a nuclear-armed Iran would not just be an Israeli problem, but a problem for most everyone," the article reads.
"In the 1990s, Iran and its proxy Hezbollah provided assistance to al-Qaida in preparing the powerful truck bombs that destroyed two American embassies in Africa in 1998. Can anyone guarantee that a nuclear-armed Iran would not collaborate with al-Qaida again? This time, instead of a destroyed embassy in Africa, we could be talking about a nuclear device placed into a shipping container and sent to a port in order to destroy an entire city. That city could be Ashdod or Haifa in Israel, or it could be New York, London or Los Angeles," the author believes.
"Before the outbreak of World War II, the German human rights activist Dietrich Bonhoeffer warned, “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act,” the article reads.
