All Israelis with conscience should pour into the streets and demand that the government immediately follow the Europeans' and the US' lead by providing, other than basic humanitarian assistance, both defensive and offensive weapons. This should especially include UAVs and the Iron Dome air defense system to the Ukrainian army and light weapons to the citizens who are fighting with bare hands and dying as proud people. They stood tall and undeterred in the face of overwhelming odds, knowing that they would rather die than live under shackles of tyranny.
Finally, I want to remind you Mr. Bennett directly-leaders, events, victories, losses, and even wars, though they leave traces behind, good and bad, are all transient. What is not transient and remains etched in memories are selfless acts that put moral obligations above anything and everything else.
You might think that you are protecting Israel's national security by opposing the Iran deal and by placating Putin in Syria. But what serves Israel best is a moral triumph-a triumph over the worst of evils. Remember, the moment Israel fails to raise that moral rod and come to the rescue of those who are in dire need and crying for help, who are being slaughtered, displaced, and shattered, Israel forfeits its moral foundation, which is fundamental to its very existence.

You put Israel to shame-something that will be engraved in the minds of millions and what history will recall. That will be your lasting legacy, Mr. Bennett.
