The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has invoked the Iranian regime’s heinous women’s rights record to justify his heinous war on Iran. This is the man whose genocide of Palestinians in Gaza killed more women and children in its first year than the equivalent period of any other conflict over the past two decades.
“They’ve impoverished you, they’ve given you misery, they’ve given you death, they’ve given you terror, they shoot down your women, leaving this brave, unbelievable woman, Mahsa Amini, to bleed on the sidewalk for not covering her hair,” he told Iranians in an interview with Iran International.
It is incredible to hear Netanyahu call on the Iranian people to rise up against the very things he has subjected Palestinians to. But it is not surprising. I am all too familiar with the ways imperialists, occupiers and invaders weaponise Muslim women’s bodies and rights to justify their wars.
Israel fighting for anyone’s rights is so fucking laughable
weird considering how they’re molesting and trafficking refugees like it’s their job that he’d ever bother to say this.
This sounds just like all the ridiculously hollow propaganda Putin was dropping for justifying the attack on Ukraine.
“We’re rescuing them from uh, really bad people, er… By invading them, yes. They wanna be Russian so bad!”
This is the propaganda every single occupiers used
This is opinion—not news. What is this doing here?
This is like being in 2001 all over again. “
IraqIran hasWeapons of mass destructionnuclear weapons and we need to save its women”.Saving women by bombing them to death.
I saw a commercial yesterday that was Israel advertising for the war with Iran. Get that propaganda off my tv.
Was this in the US?
Yeah I saw it last night.
What… Did it say? Who was it trying to convince?
It was Netanyahu’s voice talking about reasons for striking Iran overlayed on top of images that were straight up propaganda. I’ll try to find the video somewhere and post it here if I do. It seemed like it was just trying to convince the American people that the strikes on Iran are necessary.
He is right for all the wrong reasons. There are only bad sides in this conflict.
The world will be a lot better without both those authoritarian regimes.
