Thank You, Israel—and Please Keep Going

For the Love of Life

Dear Israelis,

Congratulations on your moral, selfish decision to dismantle the Islamic regime in Iran—a regime that, from its inception, has sought to destroy you. And thank you for beginning what America should have done long ago but was too paralyzed by relativism and religion to do.

The Iranian theocracy and its henchmen have not only funded, orchestrated, and celebrated the rape, torture, and murder of Israelis; they also have tortured, maimed, and murdered many Americans. Yet every U.S. president from Jimmy Carter to Donald Trump 2.0 has shirked his moral obligation to end this evil; and each has worked to dissuade you from ending it, too. Disgraceful cowards, one and all.

You, of late, have chosen a noble path. You have rejected altruistic pressures to “love your enemy,” to “turn the other cheek,” to “make a deal.” You apparently have come to see that the only practical approach to dealing with murderous Muslim maniacs is to act morally—that is, to identify and destroy their sponsors, leaders, gangs, and military assets. Bravo.

I wish this righteous reckoning had come before October 7. I’m sure you do, too. But whereas the past can’t be undone, the future remains unwritten.

What will it be? Will you see this moral mission through to its ethical end? Will you utterly destroy the Islamic regime in Iran; eliminate all remnants of the Houthis, Hezbollah, and Hamas; and free Israel of the constant threat posed by this multi-headed death cult?

If you do, you will not only secure the safety of Israel, you will also show America and the world at large that the moral is the practical. That would be beautiful.

Please follow through.
