♦4 South holds 2 hearts and 2 clubs, he is probaby got 6-2-3-2. Any passive lead will give time for declarer to establish table's clubs, so you should attack the diamond to kill table's entry. However, leading ♦J is not good enough as declarer can play the ♦A and then draw trump, West cannot continue with diamonds. By playing ♦4, declarer is hopeless and down one is unavoidable.
