It is disheartening to see the reaction of the so-called right wing to Israel’s (and its American vassals’) unprovoked war of aggression against Iran. One can seriously doubt whether there is sufficient intelligent life on the nationalist wing at all. There are many aspects to this issue – I cannot promise that we can cover them all within this framework, but let us at least try to touch on the most important ones.
1: Very few Westerners have any idea about Iran and Iranian affairs – and certainly not about Iranian history. However, this knowledge is a prerequisite for having any opinion at all about this criminal attack. If you don’t know anything about Iran, you should keep off your keyboard.1
2: The Iranians who, unfortunately, find themselves in this country came here mainly because they were fleeing military service during America’s (i.e., Israel’s) war against Iran in the 1980s—because that is what it was. Iraq was only America’s henchman – and the thanks Saddam Hussein got for his efforts clearly shows that it is literally deadly to be a friend of the US – Saddam Hussein simply knew too much. From the beginning, these Iranians belonged to the segment of the population that supported the Shah’s bloody dictatorship against the majority of the Iranian people. Their opinion on this matter is quite irrelevant. They have been traitors to their people from day one. They do not represent the Iranian people, but only a small minority.....
