- National Post editorial board: The Iranian threat to Israel
-
Israel has not, and must not, give up its right to defend itself -- even by means of a pre-emptive military strike -- against the possibility of an Iranian nuclear attack, no matter how much pressure the United Nations Security Council, the United States or the international media may bring to bear.
Israel's government has said it will do all it can to avoid taking "the military option" against Iran's nuclear program. Ehud Barak, the dovish former prime minister who now serves as Defence Minister, even went so far over the weekend as to say he was not worried about an Iranian bomb destroying Israel. Hawkish current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu added that he saw "eye-to-eye" with his Defence Minister, apparently signalling that he, too, believes Israel could defend itself against a nuclear attack.
