US Urges Iran 'Calm' While Funding Israeli 'Fast Trials'
The mainstream media breathlessly reports on Iran's judiciary seeking 'fast trials' for protestors, suggesting a severe curtailment of rights. Conveniently omitted is the historical context of Western powers selectively applying 'human rights' concerns, particularly when it suits regime change agendas. Remember when the US government applauded Egyptian generals for 'restoring order' with similar
efficiency? While the US decries speedy justice in Tehran, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which donated a reported $24 million in 2022 to influence US elections (OpenSecrets.org), consistently lobbies for billions in aid that funds an Israeli legal system known for its own 'fast trials' – often for Palestinians under military law with staggeringly high conviction rates. It
appears 'swift justice' is only an outrage when the accused aren't serving Washington's friends.
