This says so much.  “Iran Pays No Price for Bad Behavior,” WSJ, 11-20-23.  “The ayatollahs won’t stop funding terror until someone makes them stop.”  Quote of the Day:  “President Biden should give a holiday speech from the flight deck of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, currently sailing just outside the Persian Gulf, with a sharp and simple message for Iran: Pull Hezbollah away from the Israeli border, stop enriching uranium, order Yemen’s Houthis to give back the cargo ship they seized in the Red Sea this weekend, and tell Hamas to release the nearly 240 hostages it kidnapped from Israel on Oct. 7. Don’t do these things, Mr. Biden should say, and the consequences will be severe. Of course, he has to mean it. Iran has learned a dangerous lesson in the past six weeks. It has seen that there is no price to pay for arming its terrorist proxies and encouraging them to attack Israel. Iran’s actions—including attacks on U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-backed militias—are met not with reprisals but gifts, like the Biden administration’s decision to issue a sanctions waiver and grant Iran access to $10 billion. This money will be used to fund even more terrorism.”  — Yaakov Katz, senior fellow at the Jewish People Policy Institute.
