Too many Americans keep asking 'Why is Israel still fighting?' It's as if Israel's right to self-defense after October 7 had a two-month expiration date. The Houthis' ongoing missile barrage provides the moral clarity Israelis need in battle - and the motivation to keep fighting this multi-front war we spent years trying to avoid. Soldiers have always reported, 'There are no atheists in foxholes.' Having been awakened Friday night by the latest air raid sirens in Jerusalem, I've discovered there are no pacifists in bomb shelters, either.
