After six women were arrested in Iran for protesting against the compulsory hijab law, Masih Alinejad reached out to Ilhan Omar and asked her to speak out. She stayed silent.
After 29 more women were arrested for protesting the hijab, Alinejad reached out to Omar again, and was met with silence.
After Alinejad's brother was arrested and held hostage by the IRGC, Alinejad reached out to Omar again to ask her help in getting her brother back, and was met with silence.
When Alinejad's mother was detained and questioned for 3 hours, Omar stayed silent
When 1500 Iranians were slaughtered by the regime as the internet was blacked out nationwide to crush protests by force, Ilhan didn't speak up
When 176 people were killed by Iran shooting down their plane, Ilhan reacted with predictable silence.

But when Masih Alinejad wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post this week denouncing Soleimani and saying he wasn't loved by the Iranian people, Ilhan Omar got on twitter and started promoting hit pieces on Alinejad and pushing a smear campaign against her

Quote
“What I want to say is this: She broke her silence when I criticized the Islamic Republic,” Alinejad explained. “I criticized President Trump in Washington Post about travel bans, separated me from my son in the U.K. I haven’t seen my son for two years. Why didn’t she attack me when I criticized President Trump? … But as soon I criticized the criminals of the Islamic Republic and I called them warmongers and call them terrorists, called them religious dictatorship, then the Islamic lobbyists here they attack us.”

not surprised that a racist xenophobic taxpayer drain like Omar (D) would be against this woman who is against violence in Iran

Iran has every right to act how they want, but there are repercussions to action. Most people consider Iran "evil" insofar as it promotes terrorism, practices domestic oppression and exports Shia fundamentalism. The United States is seen as "good" insofar as it has stable institutions and civil liberties. Having spent 40-50 years as a bulwark against Soviet Communism after rebuilding Western Europe in the wake of Germany's world war certainly helps the matter.

Iran is a regional aggressor. They've tried to export their revolution since the inception of the present regime. The United States does not want regional instability, and certainly does not want unstable regimes in control over the world's oil supply. Iran thus needs to respect the same constraints that the United States originally put on Iraq. Saddam was not entitled to Kuwait's oil fields, Iran is not entitled to a Shia empire.


i bet you don't even realise how ridiculous and arrogant that is, do you? not only because the US has been the main contributor to regional INstability in the middle east - but also because that oil simply doesn't belong to america. the US has no right (neither legally nor morally) to topple regimes, install puppets, create power vacuums, arm revolutions, to invade, bomb, drone, and occupy countries for their oil. you are NOT the good guys there, you're the main aggressors in the middle east - and have been so for decades.

no one except american and israeli right wingers thought it was a good idea to break the iran deal. if trump was actually concerned about 'stability' in the region, he would not have withdrawn from it, it's that simple. all the moronic justifications for his decision ignore that simple fact. had there been substantial violations of the deal by iran, the other signatories would have supported trump's course, because guess what: the rest of the world doesn't want iran to have nukes either.

oh please, the Europeans dont care for anything but their profits from doing business with Iran. Siemens, for example, was going ham once the sanctions were lifted on Iran.

Europeans prefers peace in the closer area, peace is also economical prosperity. This is not just "profits", such a ridiculous way to restricting argumentation. No personal attack but this is probably the kind of speech used by russian collaborators groups like AFD.

Europeans have some experience regarding conflicts & collaboration with closer countries... (Unlike U.S...)

The only solution to dismantle, slowly, these regimes is to open the markets. Sanctions are only putting Europeans in danger.

you simply don't do nuance, do you? just because there are indeed corporations that (shocking really for capitalist societies!) take advantage of business opportunities resulting from the lifting of sanctions does not mean that european / russian / chinese FOREIGN POLICY in regards to the iran NUCLEAR deal is determined by those interests. the hoops you're willing to jump through, in order to make excuses for trump's idiotic move... mindblowing really.

but hey, cultists gonna cult though...

Le sang versé dans les rues de #Tehran le régime #islamique d'#Iran tire encore à balle réelle contre les manifestants.
La dernière fois au mois de novembre ils ont abattu 1500 personne.
Toujours le sang en Iran.
#IranProtests #IranProtests2020

Blood shed on the streets of #Tehran the #Islamic regime of #Iran still shoots live fire against the demonstrators.
The last time in November they killed 1,500 people.
Still blood in Iran.

Except that Russian and Chinese foreign policy towards Iran is entirely dictated by those same material and strategic concerns. Germany refuses to address Russian aggression for fear of losing gas. The EU refuses to confront genocide in China lest the CCP deny them access to Chinese markets.

Does the oil belong to a handful of fundamentalist clerics? Saddam? The United States isn't taking the oil by force, although there would certainly be precedent, it's paying the market price. But if Iranian greed threatens American interests (forget the global economy), then the United States absolutely has the right to intervene.

If you can't stand it, lobby the German government to take a stand. But I have no doubt that German outrage lasts about as long as it takes to impact your wallet.
