Here pictured is Princess Salma of Jordan, a royal descendant of the Prophet Muhammed. And on Saturday she defended the Jewish state of Israel against Iranian aggression by gunning down five Iranian UAVs. Is this love?
The world and its dog has commented on the "context" for October 7 during the last six months. And then offered myopic ahistorical "facts" about 1948 and Israel's establishment. Well, this weekend you saw with your own eyes in real time the "context" for October 7. I will make it crystal clear for you.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has felt increased isolation in the Middle East, both internally and externally. Not only do the people of Iran seek freedom from the Ayatollah's regime, which took over 45 years ago, surrounding states in the Middle East have been normalizing relations with Israel and forming an alliance. The next Middle Eastern state due to do so is Saudi Arabia. As the normalization with Saudi Arabia has looked increasingly more likely, the Islamic Republic have been preparing its proxies (Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, etc) to attack Israel and its Western allies to prevent normalization. On October 7, Hamas was the first proxy to bolt the stable. Hamas did not gain enough on October 7 to cause the damage that the Islamic Republic needs.
Six months into the war in Gaza, the Islamic Republic for the first time since Israel's establishment attacked Israel directly, firing over 300 drones and ballistic missiles at Israel. And the alliance held strong, as America, Britain, Jordan, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia helped Israel defend itself from this unprecedented attack. This morning Saudi Arabia publicly acknowledged its role in defending Israel at the weekend.
This is a 180-about-turn and reality check after a two week period prior in which the temperature in the West read that Israel was being more or less abandoned.
This weekend, the mullah regime of Iran tried to kill all of us. That’s not hyperbole. That’s fact. We know that the world cares far less about that than it does screaming and kicking about a war in Gaza that is only described as a genocide by Hamas propagandists, ie, agents of the same regime that just launched over 300 missiles at Israel. Make no mistake, the Islamic Republic of Iran has been attacking Israel every day since October 7. It has been attacking Israel every day since before October 7. It has engulfed Israel with its proxy armies in Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, Iraq, Yemen, Jordan and the West Bank. In 2001, the Ayatollah Khamenei had a meeting with Spain’s Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar and said that he wanted to “set Israel on fire”. These Iranian terror proxies have occupied Israel’s defence on its borders for decades and distracted Israel from attacking Iran outright.
The Islamic Republic of Iran is the one that is “alone”, (CC: The Economist), and it’s becoming further vexxed about it. The Islamic Republic of Iran doesn’t care about Palestinian statehood. If you are talking about this conflict, and you STILL don't acknowledge that Israel-Palestine is just a pawn in the Islamic Republic of Iran's bigger war on the West, you are being willfully ignorant.
Israel is your ally against the Islamic regime. The Islamic Republic is the main existential threat to peace in the region. That is why the people of Iran and the Jewish people in Israel and all over the Diaspora are aligned. Listen to the voices of the Middle East and you may learn to humble yourselves.
On Saturday night, the so-called “Zionist entity” protected the third holiest Muslim site in the world from destruction by the Islamic Republic of Iran. "Zionism is racism", remember? That’s the UN in 1975. Well the UN is Iran’s bitch.
A lot of the drones and missiles fell down on Iranian towns, causing destruction. Their range is 1700 km. Each carries a warhead weighing 750kg. According to missile math that means that on Saturday, 160 tons of explosives were fired at Israel. Where are the proportionality police now?
Several of Iran’s missiles wound up in The Dead Sea. Just look at the size of it.
The weekend is behind us and while we await to find out Israel’s plan of action, I have never felt prouder to be a Jew. I pray that now is an opportunity to topple the Islamic Republic of Iran, free the Iranian people, and bring peace to the region.
I will leave you with former Prime Minister of Israel, Naftali Bennett’s words:
Some points regarding the overnight Iranian missile attack on Israel: 1. Contrary to what pundits are saying, this wasn’t designed merely as “bells and whistles” with no damage. When you shoot 350 flying objects timed to hit Israel at the same moment, when you use three fundamentally different weapon types—cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and UAVs, you’re looking to penetrate Israel’s defenses and kill Israelis.
2. The US administration is telling us: “This is a victory, you’ve already won by thwarting the missiles. No need for any further action.” No, it’s NOT a victory. Yes, it’s a remarkable success of Israel’s air defense systems, but it’s not a victory. When a bully tries to hit you 350 times and only succeeds seven time, you’ve NOT won. You don’t win wars just by intercepting your enemy’s hits, nor do you deter it. Your enemy will just try harder with more and better weapons and methods next time. How DO you deter? By exacting a deeply painful price.
3. It’s incorrect to say “nobody got hurt”. There’s a 7 year-old Israeli-Arab girl called Amina Elhasuny fighting for her life. That’s who coward Khamenei hit.
4. The Islamic Republic of Iran made a big mistake. For the past 30 years it’s been wreaking havoc on the region—through its proxies. A terror-octopus whose head is Tehran, and its tentacles are in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Syria and Gaza. How convenient. The Mullahs send others to conduct horrendous terror attacks, and die for them. Other people’s blood. Israel’s strategic mistake for the past 30 years was to play along this strategy. We always fought the Octopus’ arms, but hardly exacted a price from its Iranian head. This should change now: Hezbollah or Hamas shoots a rocket at Israel? Tehran pays a price.
5. The enemy is the Iranian REGIME, not the wonderful Iranian people. The Iranian regime reminds me of the Soviet regime in 1985: corrupt to the core, old, incompetent, despised by its own people, and destined to collapse. The sooner the better. The West can accelerate the regime’s inevitable collapse with a set of soft and clever actions, short of military force. Remember, USSR collapsed without any need for a direct American attack. Let’s do this.
6. Israel is fighting everybody’s war. In Gaza, Lebanon and Tehran. We’re considered “the small satan” by radical Islam. America is the big one. I’ll be clear: if these crazy fanatic Islamic terrorists get away with murder by hiding among civilians, this method will be adopted by terrorists worldwide. We’re not asking anyone to fight for us. We’ll do the job. But we do expect our allies to have our back, especially when it’s tough—and now it’s tough.
Be on the right side and help us defeat these horrible and savage regimes.
You nailed it Eve.
I disagree in part--the "ceasefire now" crowd was NOT being silent. Rather, they were quite vocal in cheering on Iran.
If that doesn't tell you everything that you need to know about them, I don't know what will.
