Hit the brake, Jake

While one can fully understand Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s warning to the world that the “Executioner’s regime must not get bomb” (June 21), I was disappointed upon reading the comments of US security adviser Jake Sullivan that while the United States agrees with Bennett, “diplomacy is the best way to achieve” these goals.

As I read Sullivan’s comments, I could not avoid seeing the vision of a smiling British prime minister Neville Chamberlain waving a useless piece of paper as he claimed that he had “secured peace in our time” with Adolf Hitler.

When will the leaders of the naïve democracies learn their lesson as to the true intent of mass murderers, especially when it comes to the Jews? History has taught us, if not Mr. Sullivan, that when someone declares his intent to wipe out Jews or Israel, he should be believed and that diplomacy, unfortunately, will not accomplish much.
