David Horovitz, "No, Mr. President, you don’t fully understand our fears": A Must Read

In an op-ed entitled "No, Mr. President, you don’t fully understand our fears," David Horovitz, the founding editor of The Times of Israel, responds to Obama's Israeli Channel 2 interview on Tuesday.  Horovitz begins:

"Discussing Israeli reservations about the Iran nuclear deal you are so energetically pushing, Mr. President, you asserted in your striking, heartfelt Israel Channel 2 interview broadcast Tuesday that 'I can say to the Israeli people: I understand your concerns and I understand your fears.'

But here’s the thing, Mr. President: You don’t. And your interview made that so unfortunately plain. You don’t fully understand our concerns and our fears — not as regards the ideologically and territorially rapacious regime in Tehran, driven by a perverted sense of religious imperative, and not as regards the Palestinian conflict."

This opinion piece, detailed and powerful, must be read in its entirety.

Thank you, Mr. Horovitz.
