Where are they, Chlöe? More to the point where are you and your band of terrorist supporters? Your silence is deafening. The problems of the Palestinians are not solved by wearing tea towels: they are solved by ridding the world of evil regimes and replacing them with organisations that promote peace in the Middle East – not by the people who are continually threatening the annihilation of another race. When it comes to good and evil, one can’t pick and choose.
The hypocrisy is all too evident. When it comes to having an understanding of the geopolitical situation in any of the current conflicts, Chlöe and her ilk resemble simpletons. They spout a dialogue that should apply equally to more than one conflict but apparently to them that is not the case. This is no better illustrated than their use of the word ‘genocide’.
When Israel attack out of self-defence, Chlöe calls it genocide; when Iran slaughters its own people Chlöe and those who align with her suddenly lose their voices. That tells you a lot. It tells you, first and foremost, they are anti-Israel and prefer to transfer their affections to a people that support the likes of Hamas. They must do: they elected them to govern, so they must support what they stand for, which is another Holocaust – except this time the aim is not six million Jewish people but rather the extermination of the entire race.
And, this is of not just those living in Israel but anywhere in the world, and not just Jews but Christians, too. When Chlöe and her colleagues in parliament reach for their tea towels, this is who and what they are supporting. They are silent on Iran, because, like most of the left and their friends in the media, they are drowning in a sea of hypocrisy.
For the Ayatollah and his henchmen, who inflict genocide on their own people, the tide is about to turn. President Trump hasn’t positioned a significant amount of military hardware on Iran’s doorstep because he’s planning a drill in the area. As in the attack on Iran’s nuclear sites, Trump, quite rightly, is keeping his cards close to his chest. He will also have Elvis Presley’s song “It’s Now or Never” ringing in his ears: because it surely is. Iran will never be weaker.
You can be sure there is a plan and when the time is right that plan will be activated. Trump means what he says – unusual for a politician. But, of course, he’s not a politician and is therefore not encumbered with that mindset. Who feels sorry for Keir Starmer? Anybody? Probably not. Certainly not the Brits. There are many more leaders like him in politics and the world is suffering because of it.
But back to Chlöe and the washing up. Because there will be a wash up and, if Trump plays his cards right, it will be transformative for the Middle East and beyond. The dismantling of the Ayatollah and his regime, including those in charge of the military, police and other areas of government, will immediately end the war on terror, because the main supplier of that terror will not exist. This, more than anything else, is the key that will unlock the door for peace in the region. Attention can then turn to implementing the process of peace in the Middle East.
It won’t be easy. Trump’s Board of Peace still has a lot of questions hanging over it. They look very much a disparate group. But Trump will have had a strategy in place for bringing them, including Putin, together. I’m not at all sure it is going to work. Iran will be back in the fold of the West – an ally Israel and America can count on once again. Beyond that, who knows what the future holds. But, with any luck, Chlöe can put her tea towels safely away and only bring them out for drying dishes.

"resemble simpletons" - a tad generous JC if you ask me. The slack-jawed idiocy of Tamatha Paul being the most recent being a more recent proof of my point.
>"When it comes to good and evil, one can’t pick and choose."
Unfortunately, the choice one is all too often faced with in the MENA region is not between 'good' and 'bad' but between 'bad' and 'worse'.
The anarchic shambles that tends to follow on the heels of the demise of a 'dictatorial' regime sees between many and most of the people going from the frying pan into the fire - good examples are Libya and Syria.
Fortunately, I doubt whether Iran will follow suit when the current regime falls. The most likely outcome, methinks, is a military govt run by the Revolutionary Guards. This will probably be called a 'military dictatorship' by the West regardless of its achievements in stabilising the ship. The big geopolitical question is whether they will continue on their current path of destabilising the region by supporting Shia militant groups. My guess is that the rhetoric will continue but that in practical terms they will pull their horns in - for one thing, the external campaigns have become too much of a drain on money and other resources.
There are interesting times ahead!
A whole article of speculative whataboutism-based grievance peddling, railing against a party that is not even running the country. How curious.
To all those who read both the article and comments, take heed of the comment by
Barend Vlaardingerbroek (@ 8:56AM 13 Feb).
Why, by his own admission, he has qualified experience of Middle East matters, from time spent in Lebanon. If I am not mistaken, he would have been in that Country thru some of the most intolerable times, that Lebanon experienced.
Iran.
Interesting that France "played host" to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, narcissistic Islamic preacher, who fled Iran least the Shah's Secret police got hold of him.
They also flew him 'home' (Air France flight, with trimmings) when the Shah fled & the country, the people went "troppo" when he became The Leader. His arrival at the airport in Tehran (full film footage for media use) - showed the 'People' displaying total adulation, which I wonder how many later on regretted that action?
It would be an interest "research dive" to see if the then Men/Forces of that repressive outfit actually became the nucleus of, or their background gained them entry, into the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Since then Iran has seen the most regressive men, "voted" in as prime minister's/president's that have led to the destructive functions of civilian life up to the the recent times and protests.
They have a cemetery on the outskirts of Tehran, that has more graves containing those -
- have died in prisons, incarcerated at 'whim" for a perceived anti regime/Religious action
- been shot, for "misdeeds" against the regime
- shot during protests (recent events are not the first time it has happened)
Sorry New Zealand, regimes like that (which also includes Venezuela, which still has a socialist Govt - led by also narcissistic female, former deputy to dude currently in a NYC prison), they being the Govt do not like "the people' rising in anguish".
Russia was like that from 1917, even thru to the end of WW2 and the years that followed.
Oh and it is still like that, just observe what it is doing to Ukraine - has been from the time Zelensky become the President.
Ditto Chechnya.
As to the green party nz (sorry about lower case alpha), standing up, hmmm, they are no different to the green party adherents of
- West Germany 1950's, even today
- Australia, Adam Bandt (Chloe's mate in Sydney)
- UK
> whose sole focus is disruption, in appropriate public behaviour, if in parliament the presentation of destructive policy and public protest that indicates 'hate speech' toward socialist agendas, irrespective of the 'tea towels' worn at the time.
Now if you think a potential change of Leadership/direction, in Iran, will occur, the people be better off, then can I direct you toward Syria - go search, be surprised, also be horrified.
Oh and in Syria, the Russian Military made great haste to leave - odd that!
You may change the table settings at the dinner table, but you will not change the guests.
I ignore Anon @10:46 AM, not sure which roll of toilet paper you are getting your views from!
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Anon 532. My wife and I were indeed there during some rough periods - Hariri assassination, Israel/Hezbollah war, 2008 insurrection, economic meltdown and currency collapse, covid19...........
Wherever I live (previously, PNG and Botswana), I make a point of developing an empathy with the people I am living amongst. This usually involves developing an empathy with various groups (tribal or sectarian) who don't like one another much. What with a broad undergraduate education (3 Bachelor's degrees) that included Comparative Religion, I always found it within me to develop that empathy, all the more so because I am not at all tempted to 'take sides' - in the case of the Middle East, I am neither Muslim nor Christian nor Jew, and so I present a threat to nobody.
I make a point of looking at problem situations through a lens unclouded by any partisan interests. I understand where both sides are coming from. This does not mean that I will not judge people by their actions - I do. But I will occasionally come up with may appear to be enigmatic judgements to outsiders without a firm knowledge base, such as my sympathy for Hezbollah while being hostile towards Hamas.
