The attack on Iran and the war that the Israeli people have been fighting for over a year with its octopus arms - have a deep meaning, beyond the need to ensure our security against those who seek our lives.

This is a war against satanic evil that threatens the peace of all humanity.

The September 11 attacks in the US, 23 years ago, revealed to the entire world the horrific murderous lust of radical Islam. At first, there was a tendency to think that it was the work of radical madmen, but it soon became clear that we were dealing with an entire culture that fosters killing and murder, and in the name of religion!

Today, it is clear to everyone that Iran is the root of this culture of murder. It is the source of inspiration for suicide bombers and jihadists, who believe they will secure their place in paradise by slaughtering innocent people. It is from there that the rhetoric of hatred for anyone who does not accept the religion of Islam emanates.

To uproot

After the world corrupted its ways and was washed away by the flood, God warned Noah and his sons about observing the Seven Commandments, which are the foundation for the existence of a reformed human society. They include a stern warning against bloodshed: "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for in the image of God He made man.".

These commandments apply to all human beings, wherever they may be. The Jewish people were given the task of instilling these fundamental values ​​of the 'Seven Commandments of the Children of Noah' to all of humanity, including the prohibition of murder.

Adopting these commandments is the basis for the existence of the world after the flood, and is the correction for the corruption of the world that existed before it.

Therefore, it is not enough to fight the murderers themselves. It is necessary to uproot the culture of murder from the very foundation. We must instill in all human beings the awareness that killing and murder are criminal and abominable; that murderers do not await heaven but hell; that supporters of terrorism exclude themselves from the group of human beings with whom we engage in dialogue and conversation.

We must call upon the entire world to wage an uncompromising war against the ideology that sanctifies murder. We must uproot this corrupt and rotten culture and build a just world in which people can live in peace and tranquility.

Historical role

Unfortunately, the world is not prepared to fight a full-scale war with this corrupt culture. It prefers to weigh considerations of expediency, play at diplomacy, and buy temporary peace in exchange for lentil stew. And it is our job, the Jews, to make it clear to the entire world the need to denounce and overthrow the culture of murder led by Iran.

We ourselves also need to stop playing games, as if Hamas and Jihad are on the side of the 'bad' while Fatah belongs on the side of the 'good'. Some support murder. Some openly, and some by funding the families of murderers and demanding their release from prison, as if they were poor 'prisoners' and not despicable terrorists.

Therefore, the war we are waging now is in fact a war to correct the entire world, to uproot barbarism and evil, and to instill the values ​​embodied in the Seven Commandments of Noah. When we speak clearly and decisively against the terrorists, their senders, and their supporters, we are fulfilling the great historical role of bringing the world to its correction and preparing it for complete redemption.
