Peace Requires Action on Iran and Syria Too

US Senator Jon Kyl writes:
Since its revolution in 1979, Iran has never ceased its calls for the destruction of Israel. Now, it has become the primary ideological, financial and logistical supporter to the terrorists attempting to translate ideology into practice. According to Israeli sources, Iran now spends, on average, $40,000 per terrorist. This money is sent from Iran to Damascus, Syria - the home of the operational headquarters for almost all Palestinian terror groups. From there the money flows to a special unit in Beirut, Lebanon - a country virtually occupied by Syria - charged with operating Palestinian terrorists.

Using banks and even Western Union, the money makes its way to the local terror groups in the West Bank and in Gaza. Eventually money and training from Iran are used to launch a suicide bomber, set off a truck or car bomb, or plant an improvised explosive device (IED) designed to kill civilians and soldiers alike, and sabotage efforts at peace. more
