Sirens
rang in Jerusalem as air defense systems shot down missiles over the city early yesterday morning. After Iran
launchedmore than three hundred missiles and drones at Israel, here’s what we know today about Iran’s attack on Israel:
- The strikes caused only minor damage to one Israeli military base.
- Israel’s chief military spokesman said nearly 99 percent of the aerial threats were intercepted. The US said it helped shoot down dozens of drones and missiles.
- Leaders of the Group of Seven nations stated yesterday that they “unequivocally condemn in the strongest terms Iran’s direct and unprecedented attack against Israel.”
- Israel vowed to “exact a price,” but an Israeli war cabinet meeting ended last night without a decision on how Israel will respond.
- Iran’s top military officer said “there is no intention to continue” its offensive, but added that if Israel attacked Iran, “our next operation will be much bigger than this.”
While the attack itself was not devastating, the
New York Times reports that it “opened a volatile new chapter in the long-running shadow war between Iran and Israel.”
Iran is about seventy-five times larger than the Jewish state; its population is nearly ten times larger. The two countries are more than a thousand miles apart. Israel has no intention of occupying Iranian land or subjugating its people.
Why, then, is Iran at war with Israel?

This has been brewing for years. We forget the spate of bombings and attacks these radical groups have done over the years, quite audacious, the twn towers attack, Bali bombing,
2005 London bombings killing 52 and injuring more 784,
Boston Marathon bombing killing 3 and injuring 183, 2014
Lindt Cafe siege, French satirical weekly newspaper shootings,
Mass shooting at a nightclub in Orlando Florida killing 49 and injuring 53.
The
2016 Nice truck attack in France where some Isalamist extremist mowed down and killed 87 and injured more than 450 innocents.
2016 Berlin truck attack during which a
truck was driven into the
Christmas market killing 12 and injuring 56. The
Manchester Arena bombing killing 22 and injuring over a 1,000, The
2017 London Bridge attack killing 11 and injuring 48,
2017 New York City truck attack killing 8 and injuring 12 and just recently the 2024 Wakeley Church
Stabbing where a radical walked up to a priest during the service and stabbed him.
Covid stopped a lot of the opportunities for terror on western soil but the radicalisation has not reduced and only grown. If you look at the list of Islamist terror attacks they have massively increased over the years. Most are hapening in 3rd world and Middle Eastern nations where bombings, shootings, stabbings, hostage taking, abuses against women and children are happening on a daily basis as radicals take more control. Even willing to kill their own people.
There has definitely been a massive increase in extremism growing out from the Middle East and in parts of Africa, Europe and Asia. But the scary thing is that this mentality has also infiltrated the west. We are seeing more and more young people holding radical ideology and anti western and semetic beliefs. For the west I think the growing Marxist ideology has been an ideal hotbed for radicalisation and this has culminated in even more extreme beliefs.
But I believe that the recent events with Iran launching such a provocative attack my change things. Or at least sort the chaff from the wheat so to speak. Now we will see how radical the west has become because now not only do the Hamas sympathisers have to support a terror proxy but they will also have to support a major Islamist nation who threatens the free world.
This will test the Lefts ideology as to whose trench do they really want to jump into when the s''' hits the fan. Hopefully it wont get that far. But it will if our own nations either help radicalism to fester by not making a clear and present stand against it in our own supposed free nations or cower to the radical lefft ideology that everyones a victim even terrorists.
