Shades of Green
As Iran’s Islamic regime teeters on the edge of collapse, knocked off its evil axis by its own long-suffering people, all eyes are… elsewhere.
The mullahs didn’t need to cut off the Internet to keep the bravery and bloodshed off the world’s radar screens. The loudmouths of the West had already demonstrated their disinterest.
And make no mistake: What we are seeing is not Western indifference. It’s not simply that the arrogant mainstream media and human rights police and self-righteous elites don’t care about what’s happening – they are deliberately turning their heads away from the streets of Tehran because they don’t want to face the earth-shattering consequences of this revolution.
It’s one level of perversity to protest for Maduro – shifting attention from the danger he posed to America to America’s surprise intervention – but when the actors staging the intervention are a beleaguered nation’s own people, as is the case in Iran, where is the red herring? Where is the neat narrative of colonial oppression and white supremacy?
Yes, some have predictably insinuated “the Zionists” into the record, but whoever actually believes that is far beyond reason or reality. It is a threadbare curtain hung to block out the truth.
And even those who know it don’t want to know. No one wants to contemplate what happens next. No one wants to mourn the dead. Least of all the Western leaders and talking heads who have already chosen sides. You can’t support Gaza’s gangs and the Iranian people.
Knocking out the engine of global terrorism will instantly emasculate its proxies and open the door for stronger, wider, deeper alliances across the Middle East, which, of course, would monumentally shift the balance of power in favor of peace and cooperation. The whole world now stands to change – cataclysm is at the gates.
Where does Islamophobia fit into the picture of fanatical religious subjugation being cast off? How will the creeping caliphate take solid hold in our cities if radical Islam is seen to finally explode in fiery revolution?
Mosques being burned…by Muslims? Quick, fade to black!
The Iranians do not want to be ruled by fear and oppression. They want freedom. They want the liberties their less enlightened, stoked co-religionists have been busy trying to swallow up in Europe, and now also in the U.S.
An oppressed people, overwhelmingly Muslim. Their oppressors, Muslim. How complicated – and how unpalatable to the red-green cartel.
But the beauty is that this unfolding narrative is out of their hands. They can’t hold back the people of Iran who are so close to victory.
And we, the Jewish nation – with so much to gain or lose, as usual – are compelled to watch and cheer. We too have felt the blackened sword of the Iranian regime on our necks. We have lived in its shadows and we will celebrate its demise and what comes after.
Godspeed.
