Israel's mindset in response to threats from Iran and Hamas should be the same as it was in 1967 when it preempted its neighbors' attempts to destroy it. The author argues that Israel should not be afraid to take preemptive action and should have the confidence to defend itself on its own doorstep. The ongoing threat of Iran's nuclear program and the presence of hostages in the Gaza Strip are two major aspects of Israeli security that need to be addressed. The author suggests that Israel should make a deal to gain the release of the hostages and then take the opportunity to destroy Hamas.
