by John F. Di Leo, American Thinker:
When evaluating the action of any government, it’s important of course to fairly consider the various alternatives, the objective data, and whether it has been a success.
And it’s also valuable to ask oneself, “What if the other side had done the same thing?”
We are watching a world transformed, in real time.
Two years ago, several of the most evil organizations in the world were fully operational, impoverishing their own people, terrifying so many others.

- Hamas, funded and directed by Iran’s mullahs, fired rockets into Israel from Gaza for decades, culminating in the horrors of Oct. 7, 2023.
- Hezbollah, funded and directed by Iran’s mullahs, dominated the politics of Lebanon, transforming that once golden island of multi-denominational peace into a danger zone.
- The Houthis, funded and directed by Iran’s mullahs, not satisfied with merely taking over half of Yemen, have closed down Red Sea and Suez Canal shipping for over a year and a half now with their ship attacks and piracy, costing the global economy billions of dollars per day.
- And of course Iran itself, once a happy, peaceful, Western-minded nation with a thriving capitalist economy and general economic and societal freedom for both men and women, has spent the past 46 years under the iron grip of a band of seventh century homicidal maniacs, practicing everything from slave labor to torture, pulling the strings of the aforementioned demons and serving as the world’s primary source of terrorism.
And today, where do these situations stand?
Over the past year and a half, Israel has severely weakened both Hamas and Hezbollah through direct actions, and now, having absolutely pummeled the power structure of modern Iran this June, Israel has dealt a critical, if not absolutely lethal, blow to all four of these demonic organizations.
The current, ongoing operation in Iran was the most important, as the puppeteer of its many bloodthirsty subsidiaries. But it was also the most challenging, in a way, because Israel has had a long and happy relationship with the Persian people.
Persians are not Arabs; they don’t share the same cultural biases so common to the many Muslim Arab nations to their west. Those Israelis old enough to remember the world of the 1960s and 1970s still remember a time when Iran was their friend, when Iran was a secular nation in which Muslims, Christians and Jews (and Bahais, Zoroastrians, Sikhs and others) all lived and worked together, happily and in peace.
When Israel’s government was finally ready move on Iran, to deny the mullahs their cultish dream – the destruction of Israel by nuclear attack – those Israelis had their old friends, the Persian people, in mind as much as their own self-preservation.
