They think you are a fool. They believe that if they repeat a lie loudly enough, frequently enough, and from enough prestigious mastheads, you will accept it as truth. They are feeding you a simple, monstrous, and intoxicatingly false story: that the world’s only Jewish state is a villain, and the planet’s foremost terrorist theocracy is its victim.

This is not just a lie; it is a calculated assault on reality, a moral inversion so profound it threatens to shatter the very foundations of the free world. It is time to wake up. It is time to get angry. And it is time to choose a side.

The Anatomy of a Slander

Let’s start with the most insidious lie, the one that serves as the rotten core of this entire campaign: the lie about why. They tell you this war was a cynical political gambit by Prime Minister Netanyahu to escape his domestic legal troubles. They whisper it in op-eds and declare it on cable news, seizing upon the reckless words of foreign politicians as gospel truth. How contemptible. How utterly insulting to the intelligence of any thinking person.

Do they truly believe a nation—a vibrant, contentious democracy—would march to the brink of annihilation for the career of one man? That Israeli sons and daughters would be sent into harm’s way, that cities would brace for missile fire, all for a political ploy? It is a narrative that requires you to believe Israelis are not a people, but mindless pawns. It is a fantasy cooked up in the minds of cynical academics and amplified by a media desperate to paint Israel as a corrupt, rogue state, rather than a nation fighting for its very life.

Then comes the lie of the “Evin Prison Massacre.” They throw around a number—71 dead—as if it were handed down from on high. But where does this number come from? It comes directly from the Judiciary of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Let that sink in. The world’s premier news agencies—AP, CNN, NBC—are uncritically laundering propaganda from a regime that tortures political prisoners in that very building, that hangs homosexuals from cranes, and that guns down its own women for showing their hair. They present the word of the butcher as evidence against the butcher’s target. Israel’s military, which has invested more in the technology and ethics of surgical precision than any other on Earth, is judged by the press release of a death cult. The truth? The IRGC, in its cowardice, embedded its highest-value command-and-control assets within and beside a civilian area. The moral culpability for any life lost rests squarely with the regime that uses its own people as human shields.

The Patience That Finally Broke

For years, the world slept. While the international community pursued fantasy diplomacy and signed worthless pacts, the Ayatollahs in Tehran were building an empire of terror. They armed Hezbollah in Lebanon with over 150,000 missiles aimed at Israeli homes. They funded Hamas in Gaza to dig terror tunnels and launch rockets. They propped up Assad’s butchery in Syria and unleashed the Houthis in Yemen. All the while, in secret bunkers, their scientists worked feverishly to build the ultimate weapon of genocide: a nuclear bomb they explicitly promised to use on Israel.

Israel warned the world. Again and again. We presented intelligence. We pleaded for meaningful action. We watched as the “red lines” were crossed and the centrifuges spun faster. We held our breath, hoping against hope that the world would see the truth. But our patience was mistaken for weakness.

Then came the point of no return. The moment our intelligence confirmed that the threat was no longer a decade away, or a year away, but imminent. The choice was no longer between action and inaction. It was between acting now, on our terms, or facing a nuclear-armed holocaust later. “Operation Am Kelavi” was not an act of aggression. It was the desperate, courageous act of a nation refusing to be led to the slaughter. It was the last resort of a people who had exhausted every other option.

A Line Drawn in the Sand: Light vs. Darkness

There is no moral equivalence here. There is only a stark, blinding contrast. On one side, you have Israel: a nation that cherishes life, a democracy that argues and debates every military action, a people that mourns every casualty—on all sides. An army that drops leaflets, makes phone calls, and uses the most advanced technology on earth to distinguish between terrorist and civilian.

On the other side, you have the Iranian Regime: a theocracy that glorifies death, a global terror network that celebrates martyrdom, a regime that deliberately fires salvos of heavy, unguided missiles into Israeli civilian centers with the express purpose of killing families in their homes. A regime that told the world it was not pursuing nuclear weapons, a lie they maintained until the very end.

To paint the Iranian people as the primary victims of Israel's strikes is the final, cruel twist of the knife. The Iranian people have been the primary victims of the Ayatollah’s tyrannical regime for more than forty years. The men and women executed in Evin Prison, the brave protesters shot in the streets—they are the true victims. Israel’s strike was not against the people of Iran; it was a strike for them. It was a blow against their jailers, a crippling of the IRGC thugs who have held a great and ancient people hostage. A world without the IRGC is a better world for everyone, most of all for Iranians.

The Cold, Hard Logic of Survival

Strip away the emotion and the moral outrage, and you are left with a simple, brutal strategic calculation. A nuclear Iran would not just be an existential threat to Israel. It would be a global catastrophe. It would trigger a nuclear arms race in the world’s most volatile region. It would put nuclear weapons in the hands of a regime that has proven it will give its most dangerous weapons to its most fanatical proxies. It would unleash an era of nuclear blackmail that would make the entire free world a hostage.

By acting now, Israel did not start a war; it prevented a much larger, much more horrifying one. By surgically removing the head of the snake—the IRGC’s command structure and its nuclear brain trust—Israel restored deterrence. It paralyzed the regime’s ability to launch the full-scale retaliation it had planned. This was not escalation. This was necessary, world-saving de-escalation. It was a favor, paid for in Israeli risk, to every nation that values stability and freedom.

The world can choose to believe the convenient lies. It can condemn the firefighter for breaking down the door to stop the blaze. But the truth remains. Israel stood alone, looked into the abyss, and did what had to be done to pull the entire world back from the brink.

Now, the choice is yours. You can stand in silent complicity with the liars, or you can stand with the truth.

What can you do?

• Share this truth. Do not let the lies stand unchallenged in your conversations or on your social media feeds.
• Demand moral clarity from your leaders. Tell them to stand with the region’s only democracy, not the world’s leading terrorist state.
• Do not be silent. Your voice is a weapon in the fight for civilization. Use it now.
