And why exactly are NATO countries up here giving us sanctimonious speeches about human rights while turning a blind eye to the Zionist genocide in Gaza? Who do they think they are to stand here and talk about justice?
We will not allow nations to silence us when, for them, human rights are nothing but a bargaining chip and a foreign policy weapon. We have no intention of listening to people who use human rights as a tool of war — while their own hands are stained with the blood of Palestinians and Iranians, something they somehow keep conveniently forgetting.
And we will not rest until every country here is treated by the same standard. Until hypocrisy is dragged into the light and disgraced. Until genocide is confronted. And until peace reigns not just in words, but in reality.
This IRRG statement excises an entire episode of material history regarding Saddam Hussein – missing-out the fact that it was the US and Israel that urged him to attack Iran, that gave him the money and arms to do so, and politically supported him when he was doing it. The IRRRG statement, in an attempt to maintain its anti-intellectual (theological) position – then omits completely that once the US and Israel were finished with exploiting Iraq – they overthrew its Socialist regime and executed its leaders (including Judges) in the most brutal of fashions – the body of one Judge detached from the head as he fell through the trap-door) – all actions that Iran supported. Has this IRRG statement omitted these facts because they are inconvenient – and in fact embody the exact blue-print being deployed by the US and Israel toward Iran at ths exac moment?
Each day – the sayings are changed – but are always “Socialist” (Marxist-Leninist), progressive and psychologically inspiring. It is Marxist-Leninism that we use to build our inner strength (that enables our ability to continue to suffer without giving-up) – so that we may use our advanced (proletariat) intellects to seek-out ever-more clever ways of physically working around the (illegal) US Blockade – and the related injustices emerging from the UK, and the EU. Who knows where all this will end?
These Islamicists literally believe that Allah will magically create a break in the material cycle of cause and effect – and thereby grant Iran a military victory where the chances of prevailing are virtually zero. Many express anti-Semitic viewpoints, and viewpoints I have only ever encountered in the political far-right (“the USSR was Jewish” for instance). The fact that Allah has not come to the aid of any Arab or Persian regime in the last 150-years does not dent this belief in theology – in fact it strengthens it. Many Muslims supported Hitler before and drawing WWII – as his anti-Semitic viewpoints and policies were seen as Islamic friendly (the reason the UK and USSR invaded pro-Hitler Iran in 1941). After WWII, the Marxist-Leninist left supported all non-White peoples attempting to throw-off the yoke of Western imperialism. In this mix the Islamic resistance to Zionist Israel was incorporated – but there are contradictions. Many Muslims are happy to receive help from Marxists – but do not support any form of secular Socialism – and openly reject Marxism (and quite often material science). Muslims have rejected Arab Baathism (Arab Secular Socialism) on the grounds it relegated Islam to a non-political status (a private matter). This is why places like Iran allowed Iraq, Libya, and Syria to be destroyed (within reason and context). The other Muslim States – which used to support Palestine – now support Israel after being threatened by the US with the kind of regime change that Iran is currently undergoing.
The English woman then said that she could soon take-off her scarf and look and act “like a British woman” free of Islamic oppression (a viewpoint commonly expressed throughout UK media – to justify the UK’s ongoing sanctions and aggression against Iran). The shocked looking Muslim woman replied that it is not Islam that is the problem – but rather the “Socialism” that Iran practices! “Why should the lazy receive help from the wealth-off?” – she opined. She added that viewpoints suggesting that Muslim women should take-off their headscarves are “racist”. There then followed a bemused silence between the two. Ironically, I have been told that this woman (and her family) arrived in the UK as illegal immigrants, were given a free house, the car, healthcare, and everything else that comes with the Human Rights Act – and despite benefitting from a British Socialism no longer applied to the British people themselves – this is the kind of attitude she holds. I suppose she does not mind the British and US bombs that are currently tearing Iranians to pieces in the name of Zionist Israel – just as long as she benefits from the relative security the British Mainland offers her. Even though the presence of people like her in the UK is fuelling a resurgence of the far-right.
