Israel’s Defense Against Tyranny Begins Now

The Iranian regime has spent decades laying the groundwork for this moment, funding proxies, funneling missiles, training rebels to choke shipping lanes, and marching toward a nuclear bomb with clinical precision. For years, Israel’s intelligence agencies warned of underground enrichment sites, uranium stockpiles, and ballistic missile development hidden beneath civilian infrastructure.

The United Nations passed toothless resolutions. The United States, under varying administrations, issued empty threats or, worse, signed delusional deals. Iranian leaders chanted “Death to Israel”.

Iran’s regime has never concealed its intentions.

Israel waited. It exercised restraint. It trusted diplomacy. But when the centrifuges spun past the red line, there was no choice left.

Some in the Western press, always eager to moralize from a safe distance, called the strikes “escalatory.” But let’s ask a simple question: What should Israel have done instead? Israel’s enemies don’t want peace. They want erasure. And the Jewish people cannot afford to wait.

Let us be absolutely clear: the Iranian people are not the target. Many of those citizens, risking death and torture, have protested the Mullahs’ brutality and tear down images of Khamenei. It is not Israel dropping bombs on Iranian civilians. It’s a war against tyranny.

The Jewish state once again did what others were too timid to do. It defended not only its own citizens but the broader Middle East and beyond. Because a nuclear Iran wouldn’t stop at Haifa, it would blackmail Europe. It would dominate the Gulf. It would extinguish any chance of peace in the region.

Israel stood between civilization and chaos. And it stood alone because history has taught it that when Jews rely on others for survival, they die.

The world owes Israel a debt it will never fully understand. The international community must remain vigilant and united to deter any further Iranian adventurism. Israel did not seek war; war was thrust upon it by an Iranian regime that openly prepared for Israel’s destruction.

The State of Israel will do whatever it must to ensure that the Jewish people live in security and dignity.

About the Author
Michael Kuenne works as a journalist on antisemitism, extremism, and rising threats to Jewish life. His reporting continually sheds light on the dangers that come from within radical ideologies and institutional complicity, and where Western democracies have failed in confronting the new rise of Jew-hatred with the due urgency it does call for. With hard-hitting commentary and muckraking reporting, Kuenne exposed how the antisemitic narratives shape policymaking, dictate public discourse, and fuel hate toward Israel. His writings have appeared in a number of international media outlets, including The Times of Israel Blogs. Kuenne has become a voice heard for blunt advocacy in regard to Israel's right to self-defense, critiquing ill-conceived humanitarian policies serving only to empower terror, while demanding a moral clarity which seems beyond most Western leaders. With a deep commitment to historical truth, he has covered the resurgence of Holocaust distortion in political rhetoric, the dangerous normalization of antisemitic conspiracies in mainstream culture, and false equivalencies drawn between Israel's actions and the crimes of its enemies. His reporting dismantles sanitized language that whitens the record of extremism and insists on calling out antisemitism-whether from the far right, the far left, or Islamist movements, without fear or hesitation.
