The Workers Party has condemned the hypocrisy of the US, GB, NATO and the EU in its reaction to the attacks by Iran on Israel.
Israel has engaged in a campaign of genocide against the Palestinian people, murdered tens of thousands of civilians including children, deliberately attacked aid convoys and most recently provocatively launched a missile attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, killing at least 11 people. While we condemn Iran’s response it is vital to make clear the context.
Israel can apparently slaughter Palestinians and blatantly attack Iranian property and kill its citizens while their supporters stay silent and facilitate these murderous activities through their supply of the weapons of war.
When Iran responds, the same forces fall over themselves to condemn it.
The Workers Party holds no brief for the theocratic regime in Iran but the stench of UK, US, EU and NATO hypocrisy is unbearable.
These developments constitute a dangerous escalation of the situation in the Middle East and pose an increasing threat of regional and indeed generalised war.
