President Trump, Deploy Israeli Pilots in U.S. Bombers Under IAF Command to Prevent a Second Holocaust

Trump can achieve what he wants: preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. Meanwhile, one nation is fighting for its very survival - a people determined to avoid annihilation at the hands of a regime despised by 80% of its own citizens.

The United States could temporarily transfer "former" U.S. owned bombers to the Israeli Air Force, under the framework of a limited-use agreement. These aircraft would be operated exclusively by Israeli pilots, under Israeli flag, command and control, and used solely for a targeted strike campaign against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.

If a full-scale war can be avoided by limiting operations to precision airstrikes under an Israeli flag, then why not authorize a practical workaround?

If the goal is to stop Iran without triggering a regional war - and if Israel is ready to act - then giving it the tools to do so might be the most effective and least escalatory path forward. I hear many voices urging inaction. Many of them recognize nationalism not as a threat, but as a legitimate and even positive force. These individuals know what we all know about Iran: that it has effectively taken control of 20% of the Arab world, and that it remains the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. But despite this, too many fell captive.

Like the Poles who refused to assist the Jews during the Warsaw Ghetto uprising- despite witnessing a desperate struggle against overwhelming evil - these modern purists turn their backs on Israel. Their logic? That the victory of good matters less than punishing those they deem not good enough. It is a self-righteous position rooted in resentment.

The debate should not be framed as “whether America is going to war,” as if five bombers and ten precision-guided bombs in the hands of IAF pilots amount to a US war with Iran.

If France were facing the threat of Muslim annihilation, would the United States intervene? If Japan were under the threat of destruction by China, would America come to its aid? The real question is whether America will remain passive in the face of another Jewish Genocide.

People often ask: What’s the American interest? Here we enter a deeper, philosophical and fundamental question: What interest does one people have in helping another? What interest does one sovereign nation have in defending another? The answer is that nations represent shared, mutual interests - and they have a vested interest in the prosperity and rise of positive, stabilizing forces.

Is America obligated to prevent a nuclear Iran simply because Iran chants “Death to America”? No. But rather because the collapse of global stability, the rise of rogue powers, and the normalization of nuclear blackmail are very much America’s business.

Iran's regime is already fractured, clinging to a weakening nuclear program and a dwindling stockpile of ballistic missiles. Reality demands a decisive blow. What remains is not a debate about ideology, but a pragmatic-moral imperative to act.

It is true that the timing is far from ideal. Israel currently faces a hostile international climate and its global image is far from favorable. This is a reality Prime Minister Netanyahu must account for. The obvious question is: Why did he wait so long? Why strike only now, when Israel is so diplomatically vulnerable?

Israel should have also never reached the point where its survival depends on others - and yet, it has. It’s a shameful reality. But the fact that it failed to help itself until now doesn’t mean that, the moment it finally chose to defend itself, gives the world the right to stand aside and let the Jews die again.
