Twenty-five years ago American Jews joined forces to push for the Soviets to allow our people to go (“Never Forgetting – Soviet Jewry, That Is,” Opinion, Sept. 14).
Twenty-five years later, a similar march is needed to make the White House and the world know we are united in preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. The Soviet Jewry issue was our call to arms in 1987. The Iran issue should be our call today. If we fail to unite and make ourselves heard, it is not overly dramatic to declare it could spell the end not only for Israel, but for global Jewry as well. Now is the time to act. Soon it will be too late.
