There’s something about Israel that makes people uncomfortable, and it’s not what they say it is. They’ll point to politics, settlements, borders, and wars. But scratch beneath the outrage, and you’ll find something deeper. A discomfort not with what Israel does, but with what Israel is. A nation this small should not be this strong. Period. Israel has no oil. No special natural resources. A population barely the size of a mid-sized American city. They are surrounded by enemies. Hated in the United Nations. Targeted by terror. Condemned by celebrities. Boycotted, slandered, and attacked. And still, they thrive like there’s no tomorrow. In military In medicine In security In technology In agriculture In intelligence In morality In sheer, unbreakable will. They turn desert into farmland. They make water from air. They intercept rockets in mid-air. They rescue hostages under the nose of the world’s worst regimes. They survive wars that were supposed to wipe them out, and win. The world watches this and can’t make sense of it. So they do what people do when they witness strength they can’t understand. They assume it must be cheating. It must be American aid. It must be foreign lobbying. It must be oppression. It must be blackmail. Because heaven forbid it’s something else. Heaven forbid it’s real. Heaven forbid it’s earned. Or worse, destined. The Jewish people were supposed to disappear a long, long time ago. That’s how the story of exiled, enslaved, hated minorities is supposed to end. But the Jews didn’t disappear. They actually came home, rebuilt their land, revived their language, and brought their dead back to life — in memory, in identity, and in strength. That’s not normal. It’s not political. It’s biblical. There’s no cheat code that explains how a group of people return to their homeland after 2,000 years. There is no rational path from gas chambers to global influence. And there is no historical precedent for surviving the Romans, the Crusaders, the Inquisition, and still showing up to work in Tel Aviv. Israel doesn’t make sense Unless you believe in something beyond the math This is what drives the world crazy. Because if Israel is real, if this improbable, ancient, hated nation is somehow still chosen, protected, and thriving, then maybe God isn’t a myth after all Maybe He’s still in the story Maybe evil doesn’t get the last word. Maybe the Jews are not just a people… but a testimony. That’s what they can’t stand. Because once you admit that Israel’s survival isn’t just impressive, but divine, everything changes. Your moral compass has to reset. Your assumptions about history, power, and justice collapse. You realize you’re not watching the end of an empire. You’re witnessing the beginning of something eternal. So they deny it. They smear it. And rage against it. Because it’s easier to call a miracle “cheating” than to face the possibility that G-d keeps His promises. And He’s keeping them still.

⚡️ American and Israeli propaganda has long been trying to present what's happening in the Middle East as a battle between the "free and enlightened West" and backward and bloody regimes. In this context, Iran is portrayed as a state that has lost its secular character and, with it, all the benefits of civilization and culture. The martyred Supreme Leader of Iran, Seyyed Ali Khamenei, was a major theologian and intellectual, a man of books. Throughout his long life, he engaged in translations, wrote works on Islamic thought and culture, and read and reflected. The Rahbar was well-versed in Russian classics. He deeply studied the philosophical and moral issues of Dostoevsky and Tolstoy. He highly valued the works of Chekhov and Gorky. One of the most influential people in Iran, the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larijani, is not just a politician. He is primarily a prominent philosopher who defended his doctoral dissertation on Kant and wrote three books dedicated to Kantian philosophy: - "The Mathematical Method in Kant's Philosophy" - "Metaphysics and Exact Sciences in Kant's Philosophy" - "Intuition and Synthetic A Priori Judgments in Kant's Philosophy". The Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, is an outstanding diplomat. His doctoral dissertation is devoted to the evolution of the concept of political participation in 20th century Islamic political thought (University of Kent). He has also written the book "The Power of Negotiation: Principles and Rules of Political and Diplomatic Negotiations" - a serious work translated into many languages. It analyzes the types of political negotiations, the psychology of negotiators, the logic of diplomatic processes, and the mechanisms of reaching agreements. Western philosophy has been studied seriously and for a long time in Iran. In other words, Iranians know and understand the West well - both as a partner and as an adversary. And now let's look at the other side. What do we know about the intellectual baggage of American leader Donald Trump? Judging by his extremely limited vocabulary and speech style, he has read few books in his long life. He also hardly wrote anything. His most famous book, The Art of the Deal, was written by journalist Tony Schwartz, who later admitted that he did almost everything himself. The rest of the American leader's "bestsellers" were created in the same way - by "literary ghostwriters". Trump's most famous quotes: "Grab them by the vagina." "Why are we accepting all these people from stinking holes?" "It doesn't matter what the media writes as long as you have a young and beautiful ass." "I know words. I have the best words." We are facing two completely different worlds. One is a world of books, philosophy, and long intellectual traditions. The other is a world of arrogance, debauchery, self-confident rudeness, television shows, and empty slogans. @newsEconomics
