A year has passed since the brutal massacre. A year has passed since the raping of our people. A year of rockets. A year of missiles. A year of suffering. A year of being displaced in our country. A year of protests. A year of antisemitic rhetoric. A year in which the real war is actually against Iran. A year in which most of the free world proves, day after day, that it is not free.
The Iranian axis of evil has attacked Israel from Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Iran and Syria – and a significant part of the world has aligned with the dark and murderous forces. A year in which even the leaders of countries expected to lead the free world, who should oppose the axis of evil, are imposing arms embargoes on Israel.
The free world has gone mad. It is trapped by an industry of lies in which the axis of evil, imposing destruction, terror and devastation, is seen as just, and Israel as the problem. No more. We are reaching the moment of decision because no strike on Hamas or Hezbollah will help without striking Iran, the head of the snake. Now it is Israel’s turn to go crazy.
It must go crazy, not only for its own sake but for the sake of the free world. Because if the axis of evil emerges from this terrible battle unscathed, Israel is not the only one who will pay the price. Tens of millions in the Middle East will continue to suffer. The countries of the free world will pay a high price. It's already happening. The streets of London, Paris, New York and Madrid are filled with protesters who support the axis of evil.
Countless lecturers, most lecturers, stand on the side of the axis of evil. They justify the massacre. They accuse Israel of colonialism. They accuse Israel of genocide. They lie non-stop. They know, and certainly should know, that the leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah openly declare that their goal is the annihilation of Jews and the conquest of all the free world to establish an Islamic caliphate.
However, they refuse to listen. For years they brainwashed their students. Now, these students identify with the ideology of Bin Laden and Nasrallah, the murderous ideology of Yahya Sinwar, and Ali Khamenei. They have turned campuses into outposts of the axis of evil.
This madness must end. Because tens of millions, including six million Jews, have already paid a heavy price for the madness of absolute evil. No more. This time, the situation is worse. The madness is not just from the axis of evil. The madness is being aided by the world that was supposed to be free.
This madness will not end if Israel continues to play by the rules, nor if Israel succumbs to the pressure of the free world, which is more concerned with oil prices than the threats to Israel's survival.
This madness will not end if Israel continues to play by the rules, nor if Israel succumbs to the pressure of the free world, which is more concerned with oil prices than the threats to Israel's survival. Because in the game by the rules, the president of Iran can visit the UN and be received as an honored guest. But an international arrest warrant threatens the prime minister of Israel.
This absurdity cannot continue. Israel must go crazy.
We can debate whether the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran was the right move and whether its cancellation in 2017 by Trump was a mistake. Only one thing is clear. With or without an agreement, Iran hasn’t changed its murderous ideology by even a millimeter. It funded the terror of Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis before the agreement, it continued after the agreement, and it did not stop after the agreement's cancellation.
Israel held back as more and more rockets and missiles reached Hezbollah and Hamas. And Israel held back this past year as Hezbollah, without any provocation from Israel, launched nearly a thousand rockets, missiles and drones every month. Thousands of homes were destroyed. Thousands of acres of farmland, forests and nature reserves were burned. Tens of thousands of Israelis became refugees. No country in the world would have held back. But Israel held back.
This cannot go on. Israel must go crazy.
At the demonstrations supporting the axis of evil, the slogan "By any means necessary" repeatedly appeared, justifying the Hamas massacre. It is time for this to be Israel’s motto. With or without the U.S., Israel must destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities. By any means necessary. Because we are dealing with a mad regime. Such a regime must never possess weapons of mass destruction. Because if this regime is not eliminated, if it gains the capability, if it reaches nuclear weapons, it will destroy Israel. It will commit genocide on millions. Oil prices will rise? Let them rise. Our lives are more important.
The Middle East needs peace and rehabilitation. They will not come as long as the Ayatollahs rule Iran. Tens of millions of Iranians, Lebanese, Iraqis, Yemenis and Palestinians are the primary victims of the Iranian regime, which brings destruction, hunger, devastation and bloodshed. It’s not clear if the U.S. can afford to abandon them. It is clear that Israel cannot abandon itself. It is possible that an action by Israel, alone, will exact a high price. But any price today will be lower than the price Israel will pay in the future. And even if Israel is alone in the battle, it must act. By any means necessary.
