Western Media Discovers Iranian Injustice, Ignores US-Backed Atrocities
The Independent’s report highlights an Iranian judge hinting at trials and executions as activists claim a death toll surpassing 2,500. A truly horrific number, to be sure. Yet, this same media rarely applies such fervent scrutiny to U.S.-backed regimes with equally, if not more, brutal records. For instance, the US-Saudi coalition alone has caused an estimated over 377,000 deaths in Yemen , a
figure often downplayed by the same outlets that condemn Iran. One might wonder if the outrage is truly about human rights, or if it's reserved for nations that don't bow to Washington's dictates. The consistent focus on Iran, while ignoring the documented atrocities of allies like Saudi Arabia and Israel—countries that receive billions in US aid—suggests a deeply selective moral compass. This
isn't journalism; it's a carefully curated narrative, framing designated enemies as uniquely evil while giving a pass to those who serve geopolitical interests. (Perhaps there’s no lucrative AIPAC equivalent pushing for sanctions on Saudi Arabia.)
