They Are Lying to You About Israel. Here Is the Truth.

They think you are a fool. They think if they repeat a lie often enough, from enough prestigious mastheads and television studios, you will accept it as truth. They believe your moral compass is so broken that you can no longer tell the difference between a firefighter and an arsonist.

In the last several days, you have been subjected to a tidal wave of coordinated deceit, a sophisticated campaign designed to do one thing: rob a nation of its courage and rewrite an act of necessary self-defense into a story of aggression. They are lying to you about what happened in Iran. It’s time to talk about the truth.

The Anatomy of a Malicious Lie

Let’s begin by dismantling the central, outrageous lie they are trying to sell you: that the United States military, not Israel, carried out the decisive strikes against Iran’s nuclear program. This is not just a falsehood; it is a calculated insult. It is a cynical attempt to erase Israeli agency and deny the sheer bravery required for a small nation, surrounded by enemies sworn to its destruction, to stand up and say: “No more.”

Why this lie? Because it serves a cowardly agenda. For those who lack the spine to act, it is easier to steal credit than to admit their own inaction. For those who wish to condemn Israel, it is a convenient way to muddy the waters and dilute the narrative. They want you to see Israel not as the protagonist of its own survival story, but as a reckless side character in someone else’s drama. They want to strip away the heroism of “Operation Am Kelavi” because its clarity is an indictment of the world’s weakness.

Then come the crocodile tears over casualties, with numbers dutifully laundered from the propaganda ministries of the Ayatollah’s murderous regime. They flash figures on your screen from places like Evin Prison—a place of torture and death long before a single Israeli jet was in the air—and expect you to believe these are the only numbers that matter. They want you to mourn the supposed deaths of 71 people in a strike on a terror state’s infrastructure while forgetting the names of actual Israeli civilians murdered in their homes by that same regime’s missiles. They want you to forget Eti Cohen Engel, a 74-year-old grandmother slaughtered in her Ramat Gan apartment. Her life does not fit their narrative.

And the most pernicious lie of all? That this act of defiance somehow unified the Iranian people behind their oppressors. It is a grotesque inversion of reality. To suggest that a strike against the regime’s instruments of terror—the IRGC, the nuclear sites—somehow strengthens that regime is like claiming that cutting off a parasite’s food supply makes it healthier. It is a lie that spits in the face of every brave Iranian woman fighting for her hair and her life, and every dissident rotting in a jail cell. The only thing that strengthens the regime is the world’s indifference, an indifference this lie is engineered to create.

The Truth of a Moment We Refused to Let Arrive

Here is the truth they are trying so desperately to bury. For years, the world watched. For years, the world wrung its hands as the fanatical death cult in Tehran marched, step by goose-stepping step, toward a nuclear weapon. They didn’t hide their intentions. They broadcast them, chanting “Death to Israel” and “Death to America” while their scientists enriched uranium and their centrifuges spun faster and faster.

We pursued every other path. We warned, we pleaded, we supported diplomacy. The world’s response? A piece of paper, the JCPOA, that the regime treated as a joke. More recently, the IAEA condemned them, and Tehran’s response was to announce the construction of new illicit nuclear facilities. They were laughing at the world.

Then came the final report, the one that could no longer be ignored. The IAEA confirmed it: Iran possessed enough 60% enriched uranium for a terrifying number of bombs. They had reached the “point of no return.” This wasn’t a future threat; it was a present reality. The loaded gun was on the table. The choice was no longer between action and inaction. It was between a surgical strike now, or a nuclear holocaust later. Israel, and only Israel, had the courage to make that choice.

“Operation Am Kelavi” was not an act of aggression. It was the exhausted sigh of a nation that had run out of options. It was a response to decades of Iranian terror, from the financing of Hamas’s butchery on October 7th to the direct missile attacks on our cities. It was the climax of a war Iran started long ago. Israel just had the courage to fight back.

The Unbridgeable Moral Chasm

Look at what Israel targeted. Then look at what Iran targeted. In this, the moral clarity is blinding. Israel’s F-35s, armed with precision munitions, surgically dismantled the head of the serpent. We targeted the Pilot Fuel Enrichment Plant in Natanz. We targeted the IRGC airbase in Tabriz. We eliminated the architects of global terror: men like Hossein Salami and Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the very commander who aimed missiles at our families. These were not civilians; they were monsters. Any civilian tragedy is the sole and exclusive responsibility of a regime that criminally embeds its war machine within its own population, using them as human shields.

Now, look at Iran’s response. Did they strike the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv? No. They launched over 200 ballistic missiles indiscriminately into our most densely populated cities—Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, Rishon LeZion. Their targets were not military. Their targets were apartment buildings, kindergartens, and homes. They were not trying to degrade a military. They were trying to murder Jews.

One side targets terrorists and the tools of genocide. The other side targets grandmothers in their living rooms. To pretend there is any moral equivalence here is not just wrong, it is depraved. It is to side with barbarism against civilization.

The Imperative: A World Without This Regime

This was not just Israel’s fight. We did the world a service. A nuclear-armed Iran is a global nightmare. It means a nuclear arms race in the world’s most volatile region. It means terror groups like Hezbollah and the Houthis sheltered under a nuclear umbrella. It means global shipping and the world economy held hostage by fanatics in Tehran.

By acting, Israel did not drag the world closer to war; we pulled it back from the brink of a far greater, nuclear conflagration. We have restored deterrence. We have shown the bullies of the world that there is still a price for their malevolence. We have given the oppressed people of Iran a glimmer of hope that the pillars of their prison are not indestructible. A world without the Ayatollah’s regime is a safer, freer, and better world. This action was the first, necessary step toward that future.

Do not let the liars and the cowards win. Do not let them turn a story of courage into a crime. The line has been drawn between those who stand against genocidal fanaticism and those who apologize for it.

The choice is clear. So what can you do?

• Share this truth. Do not let the lies stand unchallenged in your conversations or on your social media feeds.
• Demand moral clarity. Ask your elected officials and media outlets why they are repeating the talking points of a terrorist regime.
• Do not be silent. Your voice is a weapon in the fight for civilization. Use it now.
