A Personal Perspective on Israel’s Decision to Act Against Iran’s Nuclear Threat

​JCC Co-President Nachshon Margalit shares his thoughts on Israel’s recent military operation against Iran’s nuclear facilities and other key targets.

​Once calling Israel home and with family still living there, I want to share my thoughts on Israel’s recent military operation against Iran’s nuclear facilities and other key targets. This move was not made lightly—it was born out of a very real fear for the safety of our loved ones, our community, and the future of Israel. That fear is not unfounded. For decades, Iranian regime has repeatedly vowed to destroy Israel and for the last 20 months they have been attacking Israeli civilians daily through their proxy terror network!
Having lived in and visited Israel for years, I have witnessed firsthand the fragile balance that sustains peace and security. Today, intelligence from both Israeli and international sources points to a growing threat: Iran has enriched uranium to dangerous levels and is actively pursuing nuclear weapons. These are not hypothetical worries—they are credible, immediate dangers backed by detailed intelligence and confirmed by international watchdogs.
For Israel, Iran’s nuclear ambitions are not just a strategic concern—they are an existential threat. The Israeli leadership, recognizing the urgency, decided that action was needed before Iran reached what experts call “the point of no return,” a stage where halting Iran’s nuclear program would become impossible.

Giving Suggestions from Our Co-President's Israeli Family

6/19/2025

0 Comments

 
Our Co-President Nachshon Margalit asked his family in Israel where Americans could donate that may make a difference. ​Following are a few of their suggestions, with their reasons why: ​
Tag Meir: United Against Racism
"I like them because they not only publicize Jewish terror and assist Arab victims of Jewish terror, but they also assist victims of Arab terror.  They are also non-political for the most part.  They never talk about genocide in Gaza or ethnic-cleansing.  They don't get into that kind of discourse.  They are more about deeds and less about talking.  On the one hand, they act to combat Jewish acts of racism. On the other hand, they are clearly patriotic Jewish citizens of Israel."  ​

Adam, Teva v'Din
"They are best advocate for the environment here.  They have an excellent team of lawyers that have been able to protect our environment through the courts.  It's a logical and attractive option to support the IDF, but the degradation of the environment here is just as important as defending us from external enemies."

התנועה לאיכות השלטון (MQG in Israel)
"They are excellent because their lawyers work for preserving Israel's fragile democracy and for stopping corruption.  The loss of democracy here is again just as dangerous as our external threats. "
