The war on terror by Israel has been sparked by weak American leadership. Iran has never been as emboldened as it currently is, as the Biden administration tries to tie Israel's hands while claiming to show its "iron clad support" to prime Minister Netanyahu and his incredibly brave Israel Defence Force (IDF) soldiers.
Given the lack of support by the west for Israel during this outrageous war on Iran's terror machine, one is reminded of what Scripture says about these "last days": people will call good evil, and evil good. It is very sad. You only have to consider the shameless United Nations, United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and countries such as France, Ireland and our very own South Africa, to see how twisted things have become.
To defeat the aggressive Islamic regime of Iran, a rock solid, almost bullet proof leader such as Benjamin Netanyahu is needed to bring stability to a region. So far, the IDF has pretty much nullified Hamas in Gaza and taken out many notorious, terrorist leaders of the Iranian regime, also crushing a large contingency of the Lebanese Hezbollah fighters, who are much more lethal than Hamas. Even the Yemen Houthis have been taking strain as Israel continues to wear out its fighters.
Looking at other great leaders such as Donald Trump, Argentina's Javier Milei and Dutch politician Geert Wilders, one wonders how many more of such strongly principled men still exist? Our own Cyril Ramaphosa is a very far cry from what South Africa needs as it tries to survive a severe ANC onslaught which has been ravaging our beautiful country since 1994.
In such dark days as these, we can only thank our lucky stars for men like Netanyahu, Trump, Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson. As I have closely followed these men on social media, one common thread seems to connect all of them: a strong desire for freedom and justice to reign and return.
The world today is a sick place, with two assassination attempts already have been made on Trump's life while the United Nations and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) accuse a sovereign nation such as Israel of a genocide. Hamas steals humanitarian aid and then resells it at a profit to the people of Gaza, using its very own civilians as shields to hide away from the IDF and then has the audacity to seek sympathy from the media while itself is committing a genocide by firing of rockets daily from civilian areas, bringing its own people in harms way.
It is no wonder that people from Iran and now Lebanon,are celebrating the military victory by the IDF over its own terrorist regimes, who seek to govern its territory whilst simultaneously sacrificing its own people to avoid accountability. These are only some examples of why the world needs heroic leaders, men of honour, and above all, God Almighty! As evil reigns and society bleeds, we must condemn Islamic aggression and far left, Socialist agendas. Stand up for freedom, for a free market society and for your spiritual beliefs!
