What an incredible twist of fate it will be if the IRGC falls. Let’s not forget that this chain of events was set in motion on October 7, 2023 with the murder of over 1000 Jews and the capture and prolonged torture of hundreds more at the hands of Iran sponsored Hamas. That moment will have set in motion the events that led to the downfall of Hamas and the near total destruction of Gaza, the destruction of Hezbollah, the fall of the Asad regime in Syria, the downfall of the Houthis in Yemen, and ultimately the end of the IRGC and the Khameini regime in Iran itself, thus profoundly reshaping the entire Middle East and radically improving the safety and security of Israel in the process. In fact, this will be the safest and strongest Israeli position at any point in its short history. Near Purim levels of unintended consequences and the hidden hand of the All Present.
To all of my friends who have criticized Israel and the right of Jews to defend ourselves in our national homeland over the last two years, I would just say to you open your eyes and take note.
