The world once again witnesses the naked aggression of the Zionist-controlled Israeli state as it carries out yet another brazen attack—this time on Iranian territory. The timing of this assault could not be more telling. As Iran was preparing to engage in critical diplomatic talks with the United States, Israel chose the moment to escalate tensions, undermining any prospect for meaningful diplomatic resolution. This pattern is neither new nor accidental; it is a deliberate strategy of provocation, sabotage, and regional domination. Yet, once again, Western powers not only refuse to hold Israel accountable but openly support its actions, displaying a staggering hypocrisy in international politics.
Timing Is Everything: Why Now?
The recent Israeli attack on Iran’s territory is not just about military tactics; it’s about controlling narratives and derailing diplomacy. As Iran was poised to potentially normalize or at least improve its tense relations with the U.S., Israel struck. This was a clear message: Israel will not allow peace unless it happens on Zionist terms.
Historically, every time there have been attempts by the U.S. to ease tensions with Iran—be it the JCPOA (Iran nuclear deal) or backchannel discussions—Israel has responded with either assassinations of Iranian scientists, sabotage attacks on Iranian infrastructure, or airstrikes on Iranian allies in Syria. This calculated aggression is aimed at drawing Iran into a reaction, thereby justifying further escalation and permanently sabotaging diplomacy.
The Hypocrisy of the “Rules-Based Order”
The same Western powers that rallied behind Ukraine with sanctions against Russia for defending its own borders now cheerlead Israel as it bombards sovereign nations across the region. When it comes to Israel, there are no international “rules”—only Zionist privilege backed by Western military and financial might.
No sanctions have been proposed. No ambassadors have been expelled. Instead, there are statements of “Israel’s right to defend itself,” even when Israel is the one launching unprovoked attacks. The West’s selective outrage exposes the grotesque double standards of the so-called “rules-based international order,” which is, in reality, a Western-Zionist order designed to protect imperial interests and crush resistance to them.
Gaza: The Unspoken Genocide
While attention has shifted to Iran, let us not forget Gaza—the open-air prison that has been subjected to waves of Israeli terror for decades. Since 2008, Israel has launched multiple large-scale military operations against Gaza, each one leaving behind thousands of civilian deaths, bombed hospitals, obliterated schools, and entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble.
The recent attack on Iran should be viewed not in isolation but as part of a continuum of violence. Gaza, still reeling from the aftermath of Operation Protective Edge (2014), Operation Guardian of the Walls (2021), and the unprecedented brutality of the 2023–2024 assault, remains blockaded, starved, and bombarded with international complicity. Western media outlets dehumanize Palestinian victims, framing their suffering as unfortunate but necessary to ensure Israeli “security.”
Syria and Lebanon: The Forgotten Fronts
Syria, too, has suffered repeatedly at the hands of Israeli airstrikes, often striking targets near Damascus with impunity. These strikes are not acts of self-defense; they are acts of regional imperialism, intended to degrade Syria’s ability to rebuild after a brutal decade-long war partially fueled by Western and Israeli interests.
Lebanon’s Hezbollah has become one of the few remaining forces capable of standing up to Israeli aggression, yet the Lebanese people have paid a heavy price. Israeli strikes on Lebanon, blockades, and repeated violations of Lebanese sovereignty go unpunished while Western governments issue only muted criticisms or outright support.
Zionism and Its Global Shield
What allows Israel to act with such impunity? The answer lies in the ideological project of Zionism and the enormous influence Zionist lobbies wield over Western governments, media, and financial systems. Zionism has successfully fused its goals with those of Western imperialism, portraying its settler-colonial project in Palestine as a defense of “democracy” against “terror.”
This narrative shields Israel from criticism, turns victims into villains, and silences dissent. Those who speak up against Israeli aggression are smeared as “antisemitic,” conflating Jewish identity with Zionist ideology, a deliberate tactic to delegitimize opposition to Israeli crimes.
Where Is the Global Outrage?
If any other country had done what Israel has done to Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, and now Iran, the world would be in uproar. Sanctions would rain down, leaders would call for war crimes trials, and international bodies would convene emergency sessions. Yet, for Israel, there is only immunity and applause.
This hypocrisy exposes not only the moral bankruptcy of the West but also the deep structural alignment between Zionism and global imperialism. The very institutions that claim to protect human rights have been co-opted by those perpetuating colonial violence.
Conclusion: The Path Forward
The attack on Iran is not an isolated incident—it is the latest chapter in the Zionist project of domination, backed fully by Western powers. The Palestinian resistance, the Syrian people, the Lebanese fighters of Hezbollah, and now Iran, stand as obstacles to that project. Their struggle is not just regional—it is global.
What’s needed now is not just condemnation, but organized resistance. The world must wake up to the reality that Zionism is not Judaism; it is a colonial, supremacist project hiding behind religious identity to justify war, displacement, and domination.
International solidarity movements must amplify Palestinian voices, expose Zionist propaganda, and work to dismantle the networks of financial and political support that allow Israel to operate above the law. Until that happens, Israel will continue to strike, and the hypocrisy of the West will continue to serve as a weapon as deadly as any bomb or missile.
