In a stunning display of weak leadership, Joe Biden has offered up nothing but meek suggestions for Israel to exercise restraint in the face of ongoing aggression from Iran. But let’s be real here—when has asking for restraint ever stopped a bully from continuing their bad behavior? It’s like asking a lion to stop roaring or a bear to stop growling. Israel knows it has the right to defend itself, and it’s about time they take strong action against Iran’s blatant provocations.

The world is well aware of Iran’s history of supporting terrorism and seeking nuclear capabilities—two very dangerous combos. Israel, being a civilized and peace-loving nation, has every reason to be on high alert. Biden, on the other hand, seems to be living in some kind of fantasy world where a strongly worded letter is going to magically calm things down. Sorry Joe, but this isn’t a game of make-believe; these are real lives and real threats at stake.
It’s no secret that Israel will not sit idly by while Iran continues to pose a direct and imminent threat to their safety and security. So, while Biden may be whispering “pretty please” in the background, Israel is gearing up to take whatever measures necessary to protect itself. And who can blame them? When your neighbor is openly hostile and makes no secret of their intentions to cause harm, it’s time to put your foot down. If Biden won’t stand with our closest ally in the Middle East, then it’s up to Israel to take the lead in defending against tyranny and violence.
In the end, Israel’s determination to retaliate against Iran is not only justified but necessary for the safety and stability of the region. With Biden’s timid advice falling on deaf ears, it’s clear that Israel will do what it must to ensure its continued existence in the face of a very real and dangerous threat. Let’s hope that the rest of the world wakes up and supports Israel in its efforts to defend against the looming shadow of Iranian aggression.
