Who saved Israel from Iran? God

June 27, 2025  •  Jerusalem Post

In the wake of the stunning success of the coordinated attacks by Israel and the United States on Iran's nuclear infrastructure, it is easy to bask in the glow of military prowess and technological sophistication.

After all, the world just witnessed what determination, precision, and bold leadership can achieve when facing an existential threat. Fordow, Isfahan, Natanz – all names that once struck dread – are now synonymous with a decisive demonstration of strength.

But as the headlines celebrate the strike, the pundits dissect the strategy, and the world recalibrates its stance toward Iran's ambitions, we must not forget the One without whom none of this would have been possible: the Almighty Himself.

Israel must not cower: Sovereignty for Judea, Samaria, and Gaza now

May 30, 2025  •  Jerusalem Post

In a world that often seems turned upside down, where democracies coddle terrorists and lecture their victims, recent threats by France, the United Kingdom, and Canada to unilaterally recognize a so-called Palestinian state hardly come as a surprise.

But that in no way makes them any less outrageous.

These governments, with breathtaking hypocrisy, want to reward the perpetrators of Oct. 7 with a state of their own.

In a joint statement issued early last week, they also warned that unless Israel refrains from expanding military operations in Gaza and halts all "settlement activity," they would "not hesitate" to take action against the Jewish state, "including targeted sanctions."

May 18, 2025  •  Jerusalem Post

This past Saturday, India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire after hostilities flared between the two countries in the wake of an attack by Islamic terrorists who murdered 26 Indians in cold blood on April 22.

India, the world's largest democracy, once again found itself the target of terrorist elements nurtured across the border in Pakistan. This is not merely a regional skirmish. It is part of a global struggle between the free world and the forces of fanaticism.

Remembering Francis Salvador, the Jewish Paul Revere

May 11, 2025  •  Jerusalem Post

Last month, America marked 250 years since Paul Revere's legendary nighttime ride on April 18, 1775, that daring dash on a horse through the Massachusetts countryside, warning patriots, "The British are coming!" in advance of the battles of Lexington and Concord.

It was an audacious act that galvanized colonists and hastened the birth of a new nation.

Yet as America celebrates Revere's famous exploits, it is also fitting to remember another, lesser-known figure who followed a similar path in the Southern colonies, a Jewish patriot whose heroism ended up costing him his life.

His name was Francis Salvador, and in the raw wilderness of South Carolina, he, too, mounted a horse to sound the alarm of approaching danger.

Averting ayatollah's atomic Auschwitz: The US, Israel should bomb Iran now

April 4, 2025  •  Jerusalem Post

Over the past few decades, various efforts have been made to prevent Iran from building a nuclear arsenal, whether through international diplomacy and deals or economic sanctions.

But despite the countless hours and untold energy devoted by the US and others, the tyrants of Tehran are now reportedly within reach of their goal.

They must be stopped at all costs before it is too late.

On March 26, US Air Force Gen. Anthony J. Cotton, commander of the US Strategic Command, told a hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee in Washington that if the Iranian regime chooses to, it could produce enough weapons-grade uranium for a nuclear device in less than a week.
