The Tasnim news agency in Tehran has circulated a letter it says proves that American troops are unwilling to risk their lives for Israel. Signed by Daniel Hokanson, the commanding general of the US National Guard Bureau, the letter says, “There is growing anti-Semitism among the enlisted troops who are openly stating they’re against Israel and not willing to put their lives on the line for them.” The National Guard Bureau swiftly issued a press release saying of Hokanson and the letter, “He did not write it. He did not send it.”
