Let’s just take a moment to fully appreciate the moment we’re living in—a moment where the leader of a Middle Eastern democracy, the Prime Minister of Israel, has to go on Fox News to warn the world that Iran, the poster child of “Death to America” diplomacy, literally plotted to assassinate a former U.S. President. And yet…the mainstream press yawns. Where’s the outrage? Where’s the 24/7 breathless coverage CNN would give if Trump so much as sneezed in the wrong direction?
Benjamin Netanyahu didn’t mince words. According to him, Iran wanted Donald Trump dead. Not disliked. Not sanctioned. Dead. Because Trump had the audacity to do what no globalist sycophant dared—scrap Obama’s Nobel Prize-bait nuclear “deal,” drop Qasem Soleimani like a bad habit, and shut the door on Iran’s uranium enrichment circus. In Tehran’s eyes, that makes him Enemy Number One. And frankly, that should make you pause. Because if Iran’s mullahs hate Trump that much, he must have been doing something right.
Meanwhile, Netanyahu himself had a missile fired straight into the bedroom of his home. You know, just casual assassination attempts from the religion-of-peace crowd who are supposedly misunderstood and oppressed by Western hegemony or whatever college professors are spinning these days. But of course, when Israel finally defends itself—after years of restraint—they get slapped with lectures about “proportionality” from the same international peanut gallery that looked the other way while Iran funneled missiles into Gaza and uranium into centrifuges.
🇺🇸 🇮🇱 Benjamin Netanyahu
“Today it’s Tel Aviv. Tomorrow it’s New York. I understand America first, but I don’t understand America dead. That’s what these people want. They chant Death to America. It’s a battle of good versus evil. I deeply appreciate Trump.”

Netanyahu made it plain. Israel is staring down an existential threat—tens of thousands of ballistic missiles, some possibly nuclear, aimed at a nation the size of New Jersey. Let that sink in. And his message was refreshingly unapologetic: We had to act. We did act. And yes, it was our right to act. That kind of moral clarity seems to have gone extinct in Washington, where the current administration treats Iran like an unhinged toddler who just needs a timeout and a gentle hug.
Let’s not forget, these are the same Iranian leaders that the Obama-Biden crowd couldn’t wait to enrich—literally—with pallets of cash. They were practically begging to get back into a deal that was about as enforceable as a pinky promise at a poker table. And while Trump was torching that agreement, Democrats were crying foul about how mean he was to poor Iran. You know, the one that wants to wipe Israel off the map and apparently wouldn’t mind adding Trump to their hit list in the process.
And then there’s the kicker—Netanyahu called Trump his “junior partner.” It’s not every day a world leader puts himself second to an American president. But it’s a revealing comment. Trump wasn’t leading from behind. He wasn’t issuing “strongly worded statements” from some sleepy State Department press office. He was changing the game. No wonder Iran hated him. No wonder the left does too.
And now, as Operation Rising Lion unfolds—what Netanyahu calls one of the greatest military operations in history—Israel isn’t just defending itself. It’s defending civilization. Because if you think Iran would stop at Tel Aviv, you haven’t been paying attention. They chant “Death to America” for a reason. And if they ever got the bomb, they’d use it.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivers a powerful message directly to the people of Iran.

So yes, Israel acted in the “12th hour.” Because dithering in the face of a nuclear-armed theocracy isn’t courage—it’s suicide. And while the Biden administration hems and haws, fretting about “de-escalation” and “climate goals,” one truth becomes painfully obvious: We had peace through strength. Now we have chaos through weakness.
Maybe it’s time we stop apologizing for defending freedom. Maybe it’s time we realize that leaders like Netanyahu and Trump, for all their flaws, understood something that career diplomats never will: appeasement doesn’t prevent war. It invites it.
