My question for PM Netanyahu:
Dear PM Netanyahu,
In your speech to the UN
General Assembly you quoted
Bernard Lewis:
“There’s
a great scholar of the Middle East, Prof. Bernard Lewis, who put it best. He said that for the
Ayatollahs of Iran, mutually assured destruction is not a deterrent, it’s an
inducement.”
Recently, only Michael Oren in his LA
Times Op- Ed (June 19) and Norman Podhoretz in his WSJ
Op-Ed (July 29) mentioned Lewis.
Since this quote by Bernard Lewis about the death of MAD vis-à-vis
Iran is so essential to the understanding of the magnitude of the Iranian
nuclear threat, why is it not used more extensively to sway world public
opinion?
