They Are Lying to You About Israel. Here Is The Truth.

Let’s stop pretending. Let’s stop indulging the cynical, dangerous fantasy being sold to you on your television screens and social media feeds. You are being manipulated. A story of courageous self-preservation is being twisted, through a firehose of propaganda, into a tale of villainy. The choice before us is not complicated. It is a stark and simple one: do you stand with the firefighter, or do you stand with the arsonist?

The Anatomy of a Lie

They want you to see a single, decontextualized image. A tragic scene at a seaside cafe in Gaza. They call it a massacre and repeat the word until it rings in your ears, drowning out all reason. They want you to feel, not to think. But they will not tell you why Israel was forced to act. They will not show you the map of terror that emanates from Tehran, snaking through its proxies in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria—proxies armed, funded, and directed to annihilate Israel.

They conveniently omit that the Iranian regime and its pawns have perfected the ghoulish tactic of embedding their command centers and rocket launchers within and beneath civilian life. They build their infrastructure of death next to cafes, schools, and hospitals, knowing that the free world’s morality makes it hesitate. They use their own people as human shields, and when their strategy tragically succeeds, they parade the victims for the cameras of a willing and naive international press. Every casualty is a victory for them. The lie you are being told about the Al-Baqa cafe is not journalism; it is the final, sickening stage of a terrorist operation.

They spin a similar fable about Iran’s Evin Prison. They tell you a story of poets and political dissidents, hoping you’ll ignore the reality that this facility was a core command-and-control center for the IRGC’s global terror network. The operation that struck it was not an attack on the Iranian people—it was a favor to them. It was a precise, surgical strike that decapitated the leadership of the very brutes who oppress them. To mourn the loss of these architects of terror, these jailers and torturers, as a blow against freedom is a grotesque inversion of morality. It is to weep for the wolf while it devours the sheep.

The Truth We Were Forced to Live

For years, we hoped the world would see the truth on its own. Israel, the sole democracy in a sea of tyranny, pleaded, warned, and presented mountains of evidence. We showed the world how the Iranian regime, the planet’s foremost sponsor of terror, was marching relentlessly towards a nuclear weapon. A weapon they have, without any ambiguity, promised to use to wipe Israel off the map.

Diplomacy was tried. Sanctions were tried. We watched, with our patience worn to the bone, as the Ayatollahs lied to inspectors, played for time, and used the cover of negotiations to enrich uranium past the point of no return. We were faced with an existential clock that was about to strike midnight. All other options were exhausted. To wait for the mushroom cloud to rise over Tel Aviv before acting would not be restraint; it would be national suicide.

“Operation Am Kelavi” was not an act of choice. It was an act of necessity. It was the reluctant, heavy-hearted decision of a nation that refuses to be led to the slaughter. It was a courageous act of pre-emptive self-defense, targeting the head of the serpent—the terror masters and their doomsday project. We acted to protect our families, our children, and our future. And in doing so, we acted to protect the entire world from the apocalyptic vision of a nuclear-armed death cult.

The Glaring Moral Contrast

Let us draw the line in the sand with unmistakable clarity. On one side, you have Israel: a nation that uses its intelligence to develop technologies like the Iron Dome to protect civilian lives—its own and, by extension, those of its neighbors. A nation that, when forced to strike, uses surgical precision to eliminate military targets and minimize harm. A nation that warns civilians to evacuate, that calls off strikes when the risk is too high, that holds itself to a moral standard its enemies use as a weapon against it.

On the other side, you have the Iranian regime and its proxies. A regime that fires hundreds of heavy, unguided missiles indiscriminately into Israeli cities with the explicit goal of killing as many civilians as possible. A regime that chants “Death to America, Death to Israel” in its streets. A regime that funds terror from Buenos Aires to Burgas, that stones women, hangs homosexuals, and guns down its own youth for demanding freedom. A regime whose entire ideology is based on hatred, extremism, and a nihilistic desire for regional and global chaos.

There is no moral equivalence here. To suggest one exists is an insult to reason, decency, and the truth. It is a moral obligation for the democratic world to stand with the defenders of life, not the merchants of death.

The Strategic Imperative: A Safer World

Now, the cynical and the cowardly wring their hands, claiming this necessary action has “backfired.” They point to manufactured rallies in Tehran as proof of failure. This is strategic illiteracy. The limited, crippling strike on Iran’s nuclear and command infrastructure did not start a war; it prevented a much larger, potentially nuclear, one.

By paralyzing Iran’s command structure and destroying its launch capabilities, Israel’s brilliant operation restored deterrence. It sent an unmistakable message to the tyrants in Tehran: your pursuit of genocide will have unbearable consequences. This action created long-term stability by neutralizing an existential threat before it could metastasize. A world without a nuclear-armed Iran is a safer world for everyone—for Americans, for Europeans, for Arabs, and most of all, for the long-suffering people of Iran themselves.

A world without the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps is a better world. A world where the greatest engine of terror has been dealt a staggering blow is a better world. Do not be fooled by the noise, the divestment threats, or the chants of ill-informed activists at music festivals. These are the fleeting spasms of a world struggling to accept a hard-won reality.

The choice is clear. You can stand with the propagandists who launder the talking points of terrorists, or you can stand with the nation that had the courage to defend civilization.

So what must you do?

• Share this truth. Do not let the lies and the propaganda stand unchallenged in your conversations and on your social media feeds.
• Demand clarity from your leaders. Ask them why they are not unequivocally standing with the region’s only democracy against the world’s leading sponsor of terror.
• Do not be silent. Your voice is a weapon in the fight against fanaticism. Use it now, before it’s too late.
