Reply #33: You simply can't take this out of the context of the US and Israel [View All]

[Dhalgren]

working hard to destroy Iran - physically. The US government wants to kill tens of thousands of Iranians, it acts as though it yearns for it. So do the Israelis. Even our own Democratic candidates cannot bring themselves to say we don't need to bomb and kill Iranians - and if the US and Israel get their way, there will be many, many more Iranian children killed than have been executed by the brutal, religious government of Iran. But that isn't the point of this article from this Jerusalem newspaper - the point is to further vilify Iran. The reaction, here, is an over reaction on the side of toning down the rhetoric and demonization of the Iranian people. HRW, of course, is correct in condemning Iran for this practice, just as the US should have been condemned for the same thing just a few short years ago. Our legal system changed, perhaps the Iranian one can too, but we cannot forget the ulterior motives behind any and everything that is published in most of the US and Israeli press...
