Israel’s War of Surviva
Front Page Magazine ^ | June 16, 2025 | Joseph Klein

Stopping Tehran from becoming a nuclear-armed terror state.

Israel faced the Hobbesian choice of passing the point of no return and exposing itself to the risk of a nuclear attack by Iran or taking military action in time to prevent that catastrophe from happening. Israel wisely chose the latter course. Israel conducted “preemptive” strikes against Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities (including the Natanz enrichment site), long-range missile facilities, and aerial defenses on June 12th, which also killed several military commanders and nuclear scientists.

The United States did not participate in the Israeli strikes inside Iran. However, when the Iranian regime responded with barrages of drones and ballistic missiles aimed at Israeli population centers, the U.S. helped Israel to intercept as many of them as possible. Although some of Iran’s missiles managed to get through Israel’s multilayered defense systems and hit their targets, many lives were undoubtedly saved by U.S-Israeli defense cooperation.

Israel haters leaped at the chance to blame Israel for taking forceful military action to defend itself against the rapidly approaching existential threat of nuclear annihilation at Iran’s hands.

For example, the extremist leftwing group Code Pink said,

“We strongly condemn Israel’s unprovoked and reckless attack on Iran, which risks igniting a catastrophic regional war. This dangerous escalation threatens millions of lives across the entire Middle East. The U.S. must not continue to support and enable this illegal act of aggression.”

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) declared:

“We condemn Israel’s offensive strike on Iran and the broader pattern of aggression it represents. Netanyahu is using American weapons and taxpayer dollars to launch illegal and destabilizing wars across the region. President Trump must act immediately to suspend all military support to Israel and stop allowing U.S. arms to fuel war crimes, mass civilian death, and regional collapse.”

Pro-Hamas campus groups in the United States rallied around Hamas’s puppet...

But not a peep from the world when Iran sent hundreds of drones and missiles into/towards Israel several months back or was it a year ago.

Better to be preemptive, than face MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction). If Iran had used a nuclear weapon against Israel, Israel would have certainly responded in kind.

Winner? Can't say, but with a much larger territory, Iran would have a better chance at surviving.

Tehran and the surrounding population centers would have been incinerated.

Code Pink and CAIR have allies at FR. They come out regularly to articles like this one.

True, but Iran is a big country. Iran is about the same size as Alaska.

Israel should load some planes full of “Palestinians” and unload the cargo over Tehran.

And nearly not a peep out of Turkey.

Pakistan is in it now. China is delivering to Iran.

But nothing out of Turkey. And Iran is their main supplier of energy.

Makes me wonder if Turkey might move into Iran to secure their interests under the excuse of global security.

Just a necessary correction. ;)

Why does Israel deserve the love and support? YHVH divorced them, they are no longer His people. Their way back is to embrace Christ. Christians gain nothing spiritually from the support of one side over another.

I guess it is too much false teaching about the subject, the false doctrine of the pre-tribulation rapture, and OT words about Bless them that bless Judah, curse those who curse them.

Yeshua the Messiah was born, he welcomed ALL to the way towards salvation. It has NOTHING to do with race, or past events. Find Jesus, join the group of those who are promised salvation. Stay on the path of racial animosity and hatred, and die eternally.

The people who follow the Koran, and the Talmud need to find Jesus, follow Torah and be blessed.

It wouldn’t surprise me a bit, it is after all “other than Americans” that is funding the invasion of the US. The RCC, WEF, and Israel. They ALL want Liberty to fall into the dustbin of history.

Nobody deserves God's love. Once you understand that you'll realize that the rest of your rant made about as much sense as a Kamala word salad explaining why global warming interfered with Stacey Abrams' fasting to mourn Beau giving his life to save Hillary from Iranian sniper fire before Brian Williams stepped in and stopped the bullet with his teeth.
