On Monday’s Newsline, Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz made the blunt case every patriot should hear: President Trump only needs to give Israel the green light to deal with Iran’s nuclear threat, and American boots on the ground aren’t necessary for Israel to defend itself. Dershowitz laid out a stark choice that Washington’s feckless elites have been avoiding — stand with an ally that actually faces annihilation threats, or surrender credibility to Tehran.
Conservatives who love America know what’s at stake: a nuclear Iran is an existential menace to our friends and a direct threat to U.S. interests across the globe. Intelligence and reporting in recent weeks have underscored how close Tehran has been to weapons-capable thresholds, and Israel has repeatedly signaled it will not wait forever. If the choice is between appeasement and deterrence, every patriotic American should pick strength.
Meanwhile, the usual suspects on the left and in the foreign-policy swamp posture as if lecturing the commander-in-chief can keep us safe — they can’t and they won’t. Hypocrisy abounds: Washington will publicly distance itself while quietly wanting Tehran constrained, which only invites miscalculation. The smart conservative play is simple and sober: make clear to Iran that aggression will be met with decisive consequences by Israel, backed politically — not necessarily with U.S. combat troops — by America.
Yes, there are risks to escalation, and no serious conservative pretends otherwise; but the alternative is a world where a nuclear Iran calls the shots and emboldens its proxies to strike American interests and our allies. History teaches that deterrence sometimes requires the willingness to let capable friends act, and recent events in the region show that calibrated Israeli action, combined with firm American political cover, can accomplish what endless diplomacy has failed to do. Weakness invites war; credibility prevents it.
President Trump has spent his career proving he understands strength and consequences better than the permanent political class — now is the time to prove it again. Give Israel the green light, make clear the United States stands with its only reliable democratic ally in the region, and let Tehran understand that America and Israel together will not tolerate a nuclear-armed theocracy. The choice is simple for any leader who values American safety, Israeli survival, and the peace that only strength can secure.
