We Know Why

It’s now a couple of days after the U.S. and Israel jointly attacked Iran, killing the evil tyrant Khamenei, and many of the upper members of power in the IRGC.

Everything that’s happened since then has been utterly predictable, and tiresome.

Let’s start off with the outrage that Iran was attacked. How could we? What has Iran ever done to us?

Seriously?

Let’s go over Iran’s history, shall we?

Iran is the number one sponsor of terrorism in the world. Hamas and Hezbollah don’t exist without Iran funding them. Both are terrorist groups. Both are responsible for murdering multitudes of people. And in case you forgot, Hamas went out and slaughtered over a thousand Jews. Took hostages. Raped women. Tortured prisoners. Murdered children.

But let’s put that aside for a minute, because that only happened to Jews, and who cares about them, right?

Well, since the current regime took power, Iran has also murdered around a thousand Americans.

And shall we talk about what they’ve done to their own people? Murdered tens upon tens of thousands. Tortured them. Subjugated women. Women who didn’t conform were imprisoned, tortured, raped, and executed. This included teens.

Not that there’s a difference because rape is rape, but this also included gang rape. The torture included electrocution of genitals. And other things which were much, much worse. If you don’t believe me, you can easily look up what Iran has done to their prisoners.

If ever there was a time to describe something as evil, it’s now. And by just saying ‘evil’, it actually underdescribes what Khamenei and his regime were.

And yet, there was outrage that Khamenei was killed. His brutal, oppressive regime is what people were out protesting in support of.

Why?

Because they don’t like the president?

Or they despise Israel, because it’s Jews (Sorry, I meant to say their preferred way of disguising their antisemitism, Zionists).

So, for these people, morality is dependent upon who doles out the punishment?

You see throngs of people in Iran celebrating Khamenei’s death, but you’re disgusted by it?

You see rallies of pure bliss by Iranians living outside of Iran, ecstatic that Khamenei is dead, and you want to go march in favor of the people they escaped from?

For all the people screaming about Women’s rights in this country, Iran is one of the most oppressive regimes ever for women. Women faced restrictive laws in Iran. Treated as less than second-class citizens. But, hey, it’s okay. Still better to support this evil regime and instead cry about Israel, a democracy where women have equal rights. Because, I get it. Evil regime is better than Jews.

How about those screaming about LGBTQ rights?

Well, being gay is punishable by death in Iran. But I know that doesn’t matter to the activists because they’ve been supporting Gaza for years, and you know what would happen if you tried to be openly gay there. Being thrown from rooftops is not just hyperbole. It’s what actually happens to gays in Gaza. Or hanged. Or shot. Or whatever method of execution is decided upon that day.

But, I’m with you. We can overlook their subjugating women and murdering gays, as long as we don’t have to support Jews and Israel, where gays live openly. Where there are many gay clubs and a vibrant gay nightlife scene.

But all that was only the start, because like clockwork, we knew what was going to happen next. We got the report from the IRGC that Israel and the US had bombed a school and killed students. If you’ve paid attention at all over the last couple of years, you knew this was coming. Any child dying is awful, but this is Propaganda 101 from the Hamas playbook. Remember all those reports that Israel bombed a school, or Israel bombed a hospital, and NONE of them turned out to be true? Actually, it turned out that Hamas accidentally fired the missiles themselves and it went awry. By many accounts, this is what happened now. The IRGC had a mishap with one of their own rockets which struck the school. None of this should have happened, but the IRGC, just like Hamas, hide rockets under schools. Under hospitals. But no outrage about that. And no one ever cares about the retraction later either. They just want the outrage in the now. And sure enough, they got it. There were people all too eager to share the story on social media. Actually, they are still sharing it, conveniently ignoring the reports that the IRGC did it themselves. And whether you believe it or not, you shouldn’t be sharing “news” stories with the IRGC as the source. But it fits your narrative, so it’s easier.

Let me just remind you again, the IRGC are the people responsible for murder, and torture, but we’ll believe them, and go by their words.

And by the way, I’m going to bet that every single one of you expressing your outrage for the welfare of children never included the Israeli children who were slaughtered on 10/7. The Israeli children who were tied to their parents and burned alive. Your outrage never extended to the Bibas children who were strangled to death in captivity. Yes, someone had it in them to look at two infants and strangle them to death.

All those posting about the hospital, I assume that I can go back to your timelines and find outrage over the Israelis?

But I won’t find any, because . . . Jews.

And the same people who posted about the school, also had posts commenting that Israel is the biggest threat in the world right now.

Really? A democratic nation which provides safe haven for many religions, including Muslims. But they are the biggest danger over Iran? Over China? Russia? North Korea?

I’ve written this so many times, what is it about Israel that’s different that causes people to go crazy and be so outraged at the slightest mention of its name?

Sorry, that was rhetorical. We know why.

Let’s spell it out…

J-e-w-s.

You can deny it all you want, but it’s so apparent.

And with these posts proclaiming Israel as the biggest threat in the world, there were lots of people pressing like.

Some of them included people I know for a very long time. Some who have been to my house. Some who I’ve known since childhood. Some who I’ve shared critique groups with.

We saw your names there.

I’m not alone in this either. Many other Jews saw your names pressing like. We’ve spoken about it.

In spite of what you try and tell yourself and others, if you get so obsessed over Israel, and nowhere else, you are a Jew-hater. Because in no way could anyone logically say that Israel is the biggest threat in the world. In spite of how much you hate Jews, it’s not true.

And speaking of libel against Israel, there was also the extremely antisemitic depictions of Israel controlling things behind the scenes. How old is that vile trope? The one of Jews pulling the strings of world leaders?

By the way, with Iran, we’re not fighting Israel’s war. We’re fighting our own. Khamenei being dead benefits the U.S. just as much as Israel.

But, you need it in your heads that Israel is pulling the strings. You have it in your heads that the Jews are manipulating things on the world stage. That’s one of the oldest libels out there, but it’s okay to bring it out for a new audience?

We saw you. We saw who posted that. We saw who pressed like.

Guess what?

You’re disgusting.

If your reaction is to now get angry at being called that, imagine how we feel seeing you post it. Or press like to it.

Don’t tell me you have no problems with Jews, and go and press like to one of the oldest antisemitic tropes.

For the indoctrinated among us, let me say it clearly. Israel is not pulling the strings. Israel has not committed genocide. By even attempting to say it, it shows that you have no concept of the term. It’s an inversion tactic that demeans what genocide actually is or when it actually happened. The population in Gaza consistently grows. If Hamas didn’t try to kill every Jew, and that’s their stated objective, but if they didn’t try to kill every Jew, Israel would never bother with any military action against them. Ever.

The ONLY genocide attempted in the area is what Hamas tried to do to Jews on October 7^th. Attempted Genocide is what the Nazis did. The number of Jews in the world is still not back to pre-World War II levels.

So perhaps, you stop using a word that you have no clue as to what it is.

Also? There is no apartheid in Israel. Everyone enjoys equal rights. And, you saying differently, doesn’t make it true. But, can you say the same about the countries that you defend and admire?

And it’s amazing to see the people screaming about this. Some of the people I know, who tout themselves as kind and empathetic, get unhinged whenever Israel is mentioned.

Why?

What is it about Israel that causes you to lose your minds, but you pay no heed to when real atrocities are done elsewhere in the world. Did you ever look up how dissenters are treated in China? So, why not go crazy over that?

Right, China isn’t Jewish. Sorry, I forgot.

So, you want to go out protesting in support of Iran, a truly evil regime that is the cause of death and suffering in the world, go ahead. But you are not the good guys here. As a matter of fact, you are actively siding with the bad guys. But, hey, you’re already used to that from doing it with Hamas for a couple of years.

Once again.

The world is a better place without Khamenei in it.

The world will be a much better place without his regime.

Let’s hope that happens.

But, instead, you can go on protesting in support of Iran.

You can go on screaming about whatever Israel does.

But no matter what you say, it’s obvious why you’re doing that.

And we see you.

And we know why.
