A Surgical Strike Against Islamist Tyranny
(Spiked-UK) Brendan O'Neill - Just like that, the Iranian regime's two chief military autocrats are gone. Gen. Mohammad Bagheri - the military chief of staff - the man responsible for Iran's murderous, imperial foreign ventures, and Hossein Salami - leader of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards - the man charged with maintaining the diktats of the republic against its own freedom-dreaming citizens, are no more. Israel is now accused of "escalating" tensions. Why is it escalation when the Jewish state takes out a general of the Iranian regime but not when that general's allies kidnap a mother and her two babies for the "crime" of being Jews in the Holy Land? Show me one state on Earth that would tolerate the existence of a nearby regime that had sent its proxies to rape and murder your people and had sworn itself to your annihilation. War is awful, and sometimes necessary. We have a moral duty to answer the following question: are we on the side of a regime that sponsors the mass murder of Jews, the exportation of Islamist terror and the savage repression of women and homosexuals, or are we on the side of Israel? I know my answer.
