View from the Gulf: Iran targeted Arabs and Jews alike — antisemitism does Tehran's work

From the Right
Opinion

When Iranian missiles and drones streaked across the skies of the Gulf this spring, they did not pause to ask who below was Arab and who was Jewish. They struck Abu Dhabi, Manama, Amman and they struck Tel Aviv. They killed civilians in the UAE, Bahrain and Kuwait who were simply going about their lives, just as they killed Israelis sheltering with their children.

The regime in Tehran has never made a distinction between us. It is long past time the rest of the world stopped making one.

Yet I have watched in disbelief as the response to this war, in too many Western cities and on too many Western campuses, has been a surge of hatred directed not at the regime that started it but at Jews.
