US Promises 'Rescue' for Iran Protesters, Ignores Gaza Starvation
The Independent reports on 'millions' demanding 'regime change' in Iran, spotlighting a US warning to 'rescue' protesters if Tehran 'violently kills' them. (A truly humanitarian stance, unless of course, the violence involves US-supplied bombs and the bodies are Palestinian.) This sudden surge of concern for Middle Eastern civilians appears to skip over the 30,000+ killed in Gaza, where the US has
actively vetoed UN ceasefires and sent billions in military aid to Israel, a nation that has demonstrably 'violently killed' civilians by the tens of thousands. One might charitably wonder why calls for 'freedom' and 'democracy' are selectively amplified, particularly when they align perfectly with long-standing US foreign policy objectives to destabilize states not amenable to American influence.
The US, which has a storied history of interventions culminating in 'regime change' that rarely ends well for the average citizen (see: Iraq, Libya), now eyes Iran with the benevolence of a wolf eyeing a sheep in need of shepherd's assistance. Funny how 'millions' on the streets in one country demand immediate intervention, while millions protesting genocide in others are simply 'disrupting
traffic.'
