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.

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.

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.

Shortly after Oct. 7, it was estimated that Hamas had up to 30,000 terrorists in its ranks – some 20,000 of whom, including many of its senior leaders, have been killed in the fighting since then.

What a difference 20 years can make.

It was precisely two decades ago this month, on February 20, 2005, that the cabinet, under then-prime minister Ariel Sharon, voted 17-5 to uproot thousands of Jews from their homes in Gaza in what the media euphemistically referred to as the "Disengagement Plan."

Six months later, defying strategic logic, Jewish history, and basic morality, as well as common sense, Israel pulled out of Gaza and turned it over to our enemies, setting the stage for the eventual Hamas takeover and all the horrors that followed.

A total of 21 Jewish communities were destroyed, and their 10,000 residents were forced to leave the lives, businesses, and homes they had struggled so heroically to build.
