For the U.S. and Israel, There Can be No Substitute for Victory

It’s hard to overstate the importance of this week’s meeting between President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. If they stand together, as Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill did in World War II’s darkest days when Britain was otherwise alone, Israel will – with our material support – defeat our mutual enemies.

If a united front is not the outcome, those enemies will be convinced they’ll destroy not only the Jewish State but – in due course – America, as well.

The regrouping, rearming, and preparations for renewed attacks on Israel now being undertaken by Hamas and other Sharia- supremacists cannot continue without dire consequences for both our nations and the Free World, more generally.

We must, therefore, pray that mistakes like Biden’s calamitous Gaza “ceasefire” are reversed in favor of a shared commitment to accept, in the words of Douglas MacArthur, “no substitute for victory.”
