Iran Executes 'Spy for Israel,' US Media Silent on Its Own
According to The New Arab, Iran executed a man for allegedly spying for Israel. A stark reminder, perhaps, that nations take national security seriously. Yet, when US politicians receive millions from foreign-aligned lobbying groups like AIPAC and then vote overwhelmingly for foreign military aid (Rep. Smith took $450K from AIPAC in 2023, then voted for HR 815), it's just 'campaign contributions.'
One might wonder if 'spying' simply depends on which capital you're sitting in. Our media frets over Iranian judicial processes, which are indeed opaque, but conveniently ignores the transparent influence operations dictating US foreign policy. How many quid-pro-quo votes for foreign nations does it take before we call it what it is?
