By now we all know
about Iran's April 13th direct and unprecedented attack on the Jewish
State of Israel, and how after said attack ended Joe Biden, in a
phone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
strongly “urged”
Israel to “stand
down”...as
in not retaliate...to Iran's having sent 300 drones and missiles into
Israel. Done so...or so Iran claims...in response to an Israeli air
strike on Iran’s consulate in Damascus, Syria that killed a top
Iranian Quds commander, Israel has yet to lay claim to that attack.
And we also know that Israel's 'Iron
Dome'
coupled with U.S., U.K., France, and Saudi Arabia's help...Jordan did
not help as first reported* ...saw 99% of said “incoming”
thankfully
being “neutralized,”
as
in destroyed, before reaching Israeli soil, relegating Iran's attack
as being but a total failure
But to add insult to
injury, in said conversation Biden made it clear to Netanyahu that
the U.S. would not take part in any Israeli offensive against Iran,
but that we would continue to militarily aid Israel if Iran attacked
Israel again.
Speaking out of
both sides of his mouth Joe Biden, who before the attack took place
told Netanyahu that, “the
United State's support for Israel was ironclad,”
not only flipped sides after Iran’s chief of staff issued a stern warning
to the U.S. not to get involved in any form of Israeli retaliation,
but he actually doesn't know nor understand the true meaning of the
word “ironclad' ...as
in a bond “so
firm or secure as to be unbreakable.” A
man of his word Joe Biden is most surely not.
And
in his hoping that by continuing to “urge”
Israel not to retaliate...as in to “stand
down”...
which surely makes the mullahs happy...it also helps in keeping the
Israel v. Iran retaliatory discourse ongoing which hopefully for
Biden would, in turn, divert attention away from his ever so in
trouble reelection
campaign.
But even Joe Biden
had to know that for Israel retaliation is a must for she, more than
most nations, especially after Hamas' October 7th savage and barbaric
attack, must always show strength never weakness when dealing with an
enemy they know is only deterred by the use of undeniable deadly
force. Israel knows well that no deals made with Iran will last nor
will any such deals deter them in their quest to wipe Israel off the
map. A simple fact simply stated, especially now that Iran's
President Ebrahim Raisi said of Saturday’s attack
that it was a “limited one,” and that if Iran was provoked
it would carry out a “bigger attack,” and that “nothing would
remain from the Zionist regime.”
Big talk from a little man who foolishly laid down a "red line" that he dared Israel to cross. But cross said line Israel rightfully did, and now both Raisi and the mullahs have to be running
scared for they know that Iran is no
match when pitted up against the great might of Israeli forces, equipment,
and what I do so like to call Israel's arsenal of “365+ little friends.”
And so it seems that Raisi and the mullahs did make light of Netanyahu's response that, “Israel will do whatever it needs to defend itself.” And so this past Thursday night at around 10pm EST, Israel did launch an unmanned missile attack on Iran's “8th Tactical Airbase,” a military base within Isfahan International Airport...Isfahan a city that's also home to the“Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center”and the “Natanz” nuclear facility where most of Iran's uranium enrichment takes place. Good choice on Netanyahu's part for Israel's retaliatory attack...an attack designed not to cause damage...“collateral”or otherwise...but an attack to show Iran's leaders that Israel indeed has the capability of hitting specific and important targets inside Iran, and do so at the time of Israel's own choosing.
Simply, Israel sent a stern warning to Iran that if they dared to crossIsrael's “red lines” ever again, that Iran will assuredly be the recipient of a “retaliatory strike” that's guaranteed to be way more than just a proverbial so-called “bitch slap.”
And yet Joe Biden, who is quite so unhappy that Israel even retaliated at all, continues down Obama's path of still catering to Iran courtesy of ongoing faux diplomacy that, in reality, has allowed Iran to
soon become a nuclear nation...that is if they aren't one
already...albeit one with maybe just one or two nuclear weapons in their arsenal at
best. But even one or two nukes can cause great harm to Israel and set off a Middle East War that neither Israel nor the civilized world want.
And anyway, why should Israel have had to hold
back on retaliation, after all Iran needs to be put in its place. Israel must always show
strength if she is truly to survive as a
nation especially when the sum of the world is not on Israel's side thanks to
Biden's not fully and openly covering Israel's back. And
when this is coupled with the ongoing, gaining in strength
anti-Israel/pro Palestinian protests and rallies that are still currently taking place here at
home, along with growing anti-Semitism and hateful anti-American rhetoric also now engulfing our nation, you just know that to some
degree Israel is forced, at times, to stand alone.
People seem to forget
that Israel is America's staunchest ally...a bastion of democracy
surrounded by the islamic world...and yet the Jewish State, for way
too many, is now being seen as the pariah and not the victim in a war
not of their doing.
Israel needed to retaliate both in a timely
manner and in a manner of their own choosing. “Our decisions we will make ourselves,” were Neyanyahu's exact words, And the decision was made that this particular retaliation was to be but a “carefully
calibrated” response, so as to not ignite a regional conflict. And while it did
catch Iran off guard a bit for they expected said retaliation to come immediately after their attack on Israel rather than almost a week later, what Iran probably thought was that the sooner the attack came, the sooner they would be able to not only up their war machine, rhetoric, and threats, but that they could focus attention on rearming what's left of Hamas.
So, how exactly should Israel have retaliated
beyond what took place on Thursday night while still trying to keep civilian “collateral damage”
to a minimum? I hope Israel's “message”sent will be heard by those in power and that no further retaliation, on either side, is needed. But I still believe two key objectives are what needs to be done to end this what once was a “shadow war,” but is now a war in the open. First, it is my belief that
Israel does need to destroy Iran's oil fields and its accompanying
infrastructure for in doing so Iran's money pit dries up, and so too
does the monies they send to arm and fund terrorist groups.
And
second, Iran must never be allowed to become a nuclear power...not just for Israel's sake but for the world's sake as well. And this means that Iran's current nuclear facilities must...I repeat must...be
“neutralized”...rendered nonoperational. How that's done, whether it be via a dedicated cyber
attack and/or by a Mossad orchestrated covert “shut-down”
operation taking place from within a given facility itself, doesn't matter as long as what needs to get done is done. And here know that an actual bombing of said facilities is really not needed to disable
them, and in turn would keep “collateral damage” to a
minimum as no “leaks” of nuclear materials would occur as
might happen if the facilities were to be bombed.
And if Iran in their arrogance did decide to counter retaliate to Israel's Thursday's what was a retaliation, Israel would not only win the back and forth physical battle itself, but thanks to Iran's foolishness, tactics, and policies of repression, we just might see the
spark of desperation helping to ignite the anti-islamic factions within Iran to
start working together for their common goal of removing the mullahs
from power.
In fact, soon after Hamas savagely attacked Israeli on
October 7th... now known as “Black Saturday”...brave Iranians started to outwardly express
support for both Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu, while condemning the barbaric Hamas attack on Israeli
civilians. Remember, most Iranians (except for the islamic lunatic fringe) have been unhappy with the mullah's dictated islamic
theocracy coupled with its many repressive mandates, repression to such
a degree that it has directly led to a growing in number, yet vastly
unreported, movement whose goal remains to remove the mullahs from
power.
Led primarily by supporters of exiled Reza
Pahlavi, the late Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's son...these supporters
have now started to publicly criticize, among other things, Iran's
foreign policy and particularly Tehran’s anti-Israel and
antisemitic policies...policies the dissenters rightfully deem
harmful to Iran's national interests. In fact, unlike the countries
of the Arab world, Iran has no history of widespread antagonism or
hate towards Israel or the Jewish people, that only came after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Before then Tel Aviv and Tehran...Israel
and Iran...had close relations, and not only did Iran have a thriving
Jewish community, but the nation as a whole was prosperous and
westernized as well.
And with those memories having
resurfaced to become part of the dissenters very being, it then becomes easier to
understand that when coupled with Israel's retaliatory response against
those who are the Iranian people's oppressors, the people's longing for what
was could now well lead to the mullah's actual downfall, especially if a
few “targeted kills” were to take place.
Remember, war indeed is a dirty game no
matter whose side one is on, and it always comes replete with
“collateral damage.” And in times of war even the “good
guys” sometimeshave
to play dirty for the betterment of the many. And in the case of the
Iranian people I don't think many a tear would be shed if a mullah or
two suddenly disappeared. I surely know that no tears would be shed
in Israel for without the mullah's iron grip hold on Iran, Iran and
its people would be free and Israel would not have to live in fear
any more. Case closed. __________________________________________________________
