Letters to the Editor, Jerusalem Post, August 18, 2021
Kabul 2021 may resemble Saigon 1975 yet there is a crucial difference –
and not the one Seth Frantzman mentions (“Kabul disaster isn’t like Saigon,
where US saved thousands in 1975,” August 16). The West in 1975
understood Communist ideology very well. The West today has yet to do its
homework on Islamic “Medina” ideology.
It is therefore imperative that in view of Defense Minister Benny Gantz’s Aug 4 warning that “Iran is 10 weeks from breakout to a nuclear weapon,” Israel should make its own decisions and not be distracted by the Biden administration whose understanding of the Shia “Twelvers” in Iran is no better than their understanding of the Taliban Sunni jihadists in Afghanistan.
