Israel Is Also Fighting for the Entire Middle East

Writing at The Christian Post, Yael explains how what Israel is doing in this war against the enemies that surround her is much bigger than simply protecting Israel’s borders. This war is a fight for freedom for the entire Middle East:

We’re not just doing that for our own survival — and let’s be clear, this is a fight for our very existence. Rather, Israel is standing up to Iran and its terrorist proxies across the Middle East, for the future of the Western world, and for all of humanity who believe in freedom and the sanctity of life.

What Israel is doing is so much bigger than protecting our borders. Our heroic army is doing what no other nation has had the courage to do. We are bringing light to the darkness that Iran has created for far too long. We are pushing back the dark shadow of Iranian Islamic terror groups, spread throughout the Middle East, so that freedom can flourish and nations yearning for peace can finally start working towards that reality, without the ever-tightening Iranian noose of terror around their necks.
