Those reportedly were President Biden’s words to Prime Minister Netanyahu shortly after Israel led an impressive multinational effort to intercept almost all of the over 300 drones and missiles launched by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its proxies — the largest such attack in history and the first ever from Iran directly against Israel.

Chalking this up as a victory and a chance for de-escalation, however, will prove Pyrrhic and encourage further Iranian aggression. Tehran launched such an audacious and massive assault to halt Israel’s successful strategy of dismantling the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps “ring of fire” around the entire region. The regime desperately wanted to force Israel to end its airstrikes that have picked apart Iran’s yearslong entrenchment in Syria and, in turn, degraded its ability to empower attacks by Hezbollah and other terrorist proxies all across northern Israel…

It is with great sadness that the Officers and the Board of Directors of JINSA inform the membership that our president, Norman Hascoe, passed away on October 24. Norman had been battling serious illness for a very long time, using the same strength and resolve with which he tackled all of life’s obstacles. Norman was a force to be reckoned with and even death knew it. We were a little bit surprised that he didn’t cheat death one more time.

Norman, during his life, did not seek honors. In fact, he shied away from them and from publicity, though he never dodged responsibility. And honor was his. He preferred to “do good” from behind the scenes, and he “did good” extraordinarily well. Most his work on behalf of mankind, whether in the arts, medicine or national security was done silently and passionately. His presidency of JINSA was one of the few occasions on which he stepped in front of the curtain. We were, and we are, honored by that. And those of us who worked with him and loved him will miss him.

We join with his family in mourning a very serious loss not only on a personal level, but also for the community, our country and the world.
