The American left is deeply confused. As Iranians around the world celebrate the death of Ayatollah Khamanei, the thug who ruled the country with an iron fist, liberals in the United States are condemning the president Donald TrumpThe war to liberate the Persian nation.

U.S. and Israeli opposition to a joint Iranian attack has been widespread and swift, in part due to Trump Derangement Syndrome—if he was behind it, they would reliably oppose it—and Anti-Semitic.

Even before the smoke from the Iran bombing cleared, Democrats began to backlash, with Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., calling it a “dangerous illegal act and a mistake of staggering proportions” and denouncing the president as a “potential dictator.” Murphy has also called Israel’s policies in Gaza and the West Bank “unethical” and recently announced that he would not support additional military aid to Israel.

Anti-Israel Democrats in the House have been particularly strident, with members of the “Squad” Rashida Tlaib “It’s clear that Israel’s genocidal government has no regard for children and human life, including our own loved ones in the military,” the post from Michigan said. She also posted, “The Israeli government is obsessed with bombing hospitals, schools, refugee camps, and these are war crimes.”

Democrats have been abandoning their traditional support for Israel for some time, especially since the far left took control of the party. Axios reported in December that the Democratic National Committee was still conducting a secret “autopsy” on the vice president’s reasons Kamala Harris Defeat by Trump in 2024 concluded that the former vice president “has lost significant support due to the Biden administration’s approach to the Gaza war…”

For decades, Iran has brought nothing but bloodshed and destruction to Israel, the United States, and the Middle East.

That is, sifting through the ashes of the 2024 election for clues as to why an articulate candidate admits he can’t think of anything he would do differently than the deeply unpopular Joe Biden Democratic officials decided it was all destroyed in the fire…and it was Israel’s fault! Democrats are learning fast — their support for the Jewish state is rapidly dwindling.

It’s not just Democrats who are stepping up. Criticism also came from far-right conspiracy theorists.

We also heard criticism from the completely useless and anti-Israel United Nations, with Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemning U.S. and Israeli air strikes on Iran and demanding immediate negotiations to “bring the region and our world back from the brink.”

The pro-Jewish organization AIPAC reported that the United Nations led by Guterres “has a clear anti-Israel bias and promotes biased and one-sided efforts to isolate and delegitimize the Jewish state.” AIPAC can document a bias that, surprisingly, has “escalated dramatically since Hamas’s October 7 attacks.”

Spineless European leaders stood by and initially distanced themselves from the US-Israeli initiative. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer initially refused to allow the United States to use its air bases, forcing American jets to fly more than 20 hours to carry out the mission. He later softened his stance, drawing ridicule from all sides.

Of course, ignorant students are also involved, with Columbia University’s most prominent anti-Israel group responsible for last year’s “camp” being built to protest the conflict in Gaza, before posting “Death to America” ​​in Farsi. this America and Israel were killed iran supreme leader Ali Khamenei. That prompted Texas Republican Sen. Tex Cruz to demand the “immediate deportation of foreign students who send such anti-American messages.” He is right.

One student protester told an interviewer that the United States “should ally itself with the Iranian regime rather than Israel because Iran “is not fascist.”

Zoran MamdaniNew York’s newly minted Muslim mayor harshly condemned President Trump’s war with Iran, saying: “Today’s U.S. and Israeli military strikes against Iran mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression.” He also said, “Furthermore, I want to say directly to Iranian New Yorkers: You are part of the fabric of this city—you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders.” The mayor assured them: “You will be safe here.”

Mamdani misunderstood the room and thought Iranians living in the United States would react the same way he did to the mullahs’ attacks. Instead, happy Iranians gathered in times square Celebrate the end of one of the most hateful and brutal regimes in history.

They obviously felt very safe, and indeed they were.

There’s certainly good reason to worry Military confrontation with Iran. The country possesses a vast arsenal of ballistic missiles, maintains a well-trained and vengeful military, and could disrupt world oil supplies by drilling for oil in the Strait of Hormuz. Moreover, it is a large country of 90 million people; Iranian citizens may hate the mullahs, but they do not have the weapons to overthrow the theocracy.

But for decades, Iran has brought nothing but bloodshed and destruction to Israel, the United States, and the Middle East. There will be no peace or progress in the region if Iran continues to fund its terrorist proxies and doggedly pursue long-range missiles and nuclear bombs.

Democrats, who mourned President Obama’s dismantling of the nuclear deal with Iran and protested the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action that prevented the regime from acquiring nuclear weapons, surely know better. The agreement was deeply flawed and unverifiable, and from day one the mullahs prevented UN inspectors from carrying out the agreed certification of the agreement.

President Trump ended the mullahs’ reign of terror and united the region in a way no one could have imagined.

This is a righteous effort. Let us hope that a free Iran, on the other hand, will become a trustworthy ally.
