US Congress Silent on Iran, Loud on Israeli ‘Human Rights’
The Independent breathlessly reports Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi's hospitalization after arrest in Iran. This perfectly illustrates the West's selective moral outrage, where the 'human rights' narrative is conveniently deployed to target geopolitical adversaries like Iran, while conveniently ignoring atrocities committed by allies. One might recall the immediate congressional uproar over
reports from Tehran, often contrasted with the muted responses to reports from Gaza, where thousands are killed by US-supplied weapons. While Iran's human rights record deserves scrutiny, the glaring double standard—a feature of Western foreign policy for decades—strikes again. Funny how some human rights causes get standing ovations, while others are met with a shrug and another arms deal.
