When Queen Esther Helped Israel Cyberattack Iran – The Lid

Wednesday night, March 16, begins the holiday of Purim. It’s a Jewish holiday that celebrates the victory of Jewish people led by Queen Esther over an ancient Persian king’s grand vizier, Haman. Haman got permission from the king to kill all the Jews in the Persian Empire, but before he could complete his plan, it was foiled by Queen Esther.  But in recent years, it happened again.

Two thousand seven hundred years later, nothing much has changed. Persia is now called Iran, but they still hate Jews, and in 2010 that same Queen Esther temporarily foiled their plot to kill the Jews by sabotaging Iran’s nuclear bomb program setting the program back by two years.
