How Can Israel Crush Its Enemies – The Axis of Evil

The time for appeasement is over. The time for half-measures is over. Israel is not facing isolated terror attacks or “cycles of violence.”
It is staring directly into the coordinated, calculated evil of a global radical network with a command center in Tehran. Iran is not just a “state sponsor of terror.” Iran is the head of the snake. If Israel wants to survive and thrive, it must stop trimming the branches and start taking down the tree. And the time is now.

Iran is Pulling the Strings – This is War by Proxy
Let’s get something straight: every missile that flies out of Yemen and heads toward Tel Aviv is not a “Houthi” missile. It’s an Iranian missile. Just like every RPG in the hands of Hamas, every bunker in Hezbollah’s arsenal, every enemy drone hovering towards Israeli skies – all funded by the regime in Tehran.
Iran doesn’t hide it. They boast about it. The “Axis of Resistance” is not some grassroots alliance. It’s Iran’s foreign legion – Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, Shiite militias in Iraq, and now terrorist cells inside Judea and Samaria. And Iran’s goal? Bleed Israel until it can’t breathe. Surround it with chaos. And use the international media to make Israel the villain when it defends itself.
On May 4, a ballistic missile from Yemen landed near Ben Gurion Airport. That wasn’t just a scare – that was a warning shot. The Houthis have fired so far over 300 missiles and drones into Israel since the war began, firing from 1,200 miles away. Iran has turned Yemen into a missile platform aimed at the Jewish state. Still think this is just about Gaza? Gaza is just an excuse to continue their campaign against Israel.
The Problem: Israel Is Playing Defense
Israel has the best defense systems in the world. Iron Dome, David’s Sling, Arrow – brilliant, expensive, and reactive. The country spends billions every year catching missiles midair. But no nation ever won a war by intercepting missiles. You win by making sure they are never launched in the first place. Defenses are important, but they will not deliver victory over our enemies.
The Solution: Go After the Brain, Not Just the Fist
1. Surgical Sabotage in Islamic Republic of Iran
Israel should launch a long-term operation to destabilize the Iranian regime from within. Not by merely targeting nuclear sites, but by cracking the regime’s control over its own population. I believe there is a majority of Iranian people who oppose the rule of the regime, partnering with them could lead to the collapse of the Islamic regime and give Iran a real chance at peace. Something we all want to see. We should hack and leak classified data about IRGC corruption to the Iranian public. Jam state media. Turn the regime’s lies against itself. Make it bleed legitimacy until it implodes - and when that happens, the world should side with the Iranian people not just with words.
We’ve done assassinations before, according to reports. But truth is that targeting one general won’t kill the ideology. We need the regime itself to rot from the inside out.
2. Create a Defense Coalition Against Iran
Israel should form a new military alliance with Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Bahrain, and Jordan – countries that all share one enemy: Iran. Make it formal. Joint command centers. Shared intelligence. On April 13, 2024, Iran fired hundreds of ballistic missiles into Israel - most were intercepted. Some reports suggested that Saudi Arabia shared intelligence with Israel about the attack. Iran threatens the existence of Israel more than any other country in the Middle East as of now. If we want to bring peace to the Middle East, we first need to uproot radicalism. The Arab world fears Iran, and after the Abraham Accords, more Arab countries see in Israel an unshakeable fact in the region.
Working together to bring an end to radicalism can also push for more peace agreements between Israel and other Arab countries. Working together is learning more about one another, accepting the other, and forming deeper friendships.
3. Target Iranian Assets Anywhere – Including in Iran
Israel should declare that it reserves the right to target Iranian military and logistical assets anywhere in the world, including inside Iran. Not just proxies. Not just convoys in Iraq or Syria. But IRGC bases, airfields, missile factories, and satellite uplinks deep inside Iran. Use cyber. Use means of sabotage. Speak to the regime in a language they understand - power. In the Middle East only the strong survives, and countries want to make peace only with the strong. We can't let Iran continue working "behind the scenes", using proxies and then denying responsibility.

4. Disrupt the Iranian Oil Lifeline
Iran funds its terror with oil, among other things. So hit them where it hurts: the wallet. Israeli cyber units can disable Iranian oil tankers and use legal warfare. Leak GPS data to expose illicit smuggling routes. Iran is vulnerable because it’s addicted to its black gold. Dry the well, and their missiles stop flying.
5. Take Over the High Ground – Literally and Digitally
Militarily, Israel must take and hold strategic mountain positions in Lebanon and Syria to prevent future rocket barrages, as it is doing nowadays. Digitally, it must dominate the war of information. Every terrorist attack must be immediately framed as an Iranian act of war – not just another “Palestinian grievance.”
Iran wants the world to see Hamas as “freedom fighters” and Israel as Goliath. Shatter that lie. Publish intercepted comms. Name and shame Iranian commanders giving orders in Gaza. Flood the narrative with truth. They have a lot to hide, that's why when the Assad regime fell in Syria, they were burning as many documents as they could before fleeing.

A Biblical Mandate for Bold Action
This is not new. The Bible doesn’t say: "Defend yourself until your enemy gets tired"
It says: “When you go out to war against your enemies, and the Lord your God gives them into your hand and you take them captive…” (Deuteronomy 21:10).
It doesn’t say “wait until your house is burning.” It says go out to war. Crush your enemies before they crush you. This is not vengeance. It is justice. It is survival.
The Future: Either The Islamic Regime Falls or Israel Continues To Burn
Here’s the truth: either Israel takes the gloves off and topples the Iranian regime, or Iran will keep escalating to achieve their goal of destroying Israel. By the way their problem is not just with Israel. They openly chant "Death to America" as well. There is no third option. There is no status quo.
This is not just about 2025. This is about ensuring the future of democracy and freedom in 2050. A future without radicalism. To the generals of the Islamic regime, Israel stands in the way of their dominating the world.
It’s time to stop playing defense. Time to stop relying on the West to save us. It’s time to remind the world: we are not tenants in this land. We are the landlords.
And this landlord is done negotiating with arsonists.
Crush the regime. Cut off the proxies. Win the war. Then, and only then, will there be peace.
