The Iranian Americans for Liberty wish to express our full support for Israel’s right to defend itself against Hamas. While we know the situation between the Israelis and Palestinians is complex - what is not complex is the fact that Israel is a sovereign nation and Hamas is a group of radical terrorists, backed by the Islamic Republic of Iran. Any sovereign nation that is attacked by enemies foreign or domestic, are within their rights to defend itself.
Hamas, similar to the IRGC, is listed on the State Department’s FTO (Foreign Terrorist Organization) list. We believe the aggression from Hamas is a direct consequence of President’s Biden’s weak policy towards the Islamic Republic of Iran. The appeasement approach towards the Mullahs in Iran incentivizes them to increase their funding to Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah and many other terrorist organizations that the Regime supports.
The only foreign government that stands to benefit from this escalation of violence is the Islamic Republic of Iran. We strongly urge President Biden to recall his envoys from Vienna until the Islamic Republic of Iran directs Hamas to stand down.
We fully support Israel’s right to defend itself against terrorists and we send our prayers for strength and safety to the Jews, Arabs, Christians, Baháʼí living in Israel.
