Many find it hard to believe that Muslims want anything short of the total annihilation of Israel and all Jews. Well, Iran’s government just set back the cause of proving that claim wrong by several years. Iran’s recent earthquake has killed at least 20,000 people. It is in dire need of aid, and fortunately, countries are providing that aid.
That includes Israel, a country that many believe is morally equivalent to Iran or Palestine. However, Iran flat out rejected that aid, saying it would refuse any help whatsoever from Israel.
Such an act is simply disgusting. This goes a long way in explaining why many, including myself, support Israel in the current Jewish/Muslim conflict. Israel is kind enough to offer millions of dollars of aid, even though they have no obligation to. Instead of using those resources to stop suicide bombings, Israel decided to support a country that is, at the least, partly responsible for those suicide bombings. Yet the blinding hatred Iran has for Jews clearly runs deeper than any hatred that the Israeli government has for Muslims.
These actions show that Iran’s government cares less for the lives of its very own sons and daughters than it does for seeing the death of every last Jew. It doesn’t care about a Palestinian state or anything else; all it cares about is a world without Jews.
These actions show why the time has come for the US to explicitly support Israel instead of politely sitting on the sidelines trying to act as some sort of referee.
