What countries are Iran’s allies? What countries aid and abet the merciless, murderous, freedomless country of Iran?
Before you answer, please read the beginning of Majid Rafizadeh’s article for gatestoneinstitute.com. Then we’ll talk:
The UN and EU’s Horrific Appeasement of the Iranian Regime’s Tyranny, Betrayal of the Iranian People
- The regime is murdering its youth, including two young men who were only offering help to fleeing protesters. At least 26 people linked to those protests have been hanged after trials marked by torture and forced confessions, while dozens more – in a terror state determined to instill fear – remain at urgent risk.
- The only countries taking meaningful action, or even expressing disapproval of this regime and its atrocities, are the United States and Israel. The United Nations and the European Union, which endlessly lecture the world about human rights and vilify Israel for defending not only itself but them, have offered effectively no objections.
- The “No to Execution Tuesdays” campaign has spread to nearly 60 prisons across Iran, marking over 130 consecutive weeks of protest. The prisoners know the risks of protesting — further isolation, denial of medical care, or accelerated hangings — nonetheless they refuse to stay silent.
- Contrast this to the swift, fierce international outcry whenever Israel defends itself and Western civilization against barbarities. You will find an unfailing avalanche of pompous statements, condemnations and resolutions. When Iran executes protesters in public squares, tortures prisoners, and arms Russia’s war machine, the response consists of muted expressions of “grave concern.” The UN issues calls for moratoriums, which Iran, of course, ignores.
- Iranian embassies and consulates remain open across Europe; European diplomats continue operating in Tehran. Diplomatic relations proceed as if the regime were a normal partner rather than an outsized human rights abuser and massive state sponsor of terrorism.
What does that tell you? Or, asking another way, what is the definition of an ally, other than someone who goes along with you no matter what you do?
Does that the United Nations and the European Union allies of Iran? Or obsequious apologists? Or both?
This is what the United States and Israel are up against as they fight the world’s single most prolific supporter/financier of terrorism.
I beg you to never, ever forget what they are…and what it says about whether we should support them when they come begging…which, given the fact that we are the single biggest financial supporter of the UN, they always do.
