Iran did not create the Western shame. Iran named it. And the only way to silence someone who names your shame is to make them the villain.
Here is what Western politicians could never say out loud
We knew. We always knew.
We knew the settlements were illegal. The UN told us. Our own courts told us. Our own foreign ministers told us in private.
We knew the blockade of Gaza was collective punishment. Our own legal advisers said so.
We knew the children were being starved. Our own aid agencies screamed out loud.
We knew. And we funded it anyway.
Iran did not create the Western shame. Iran named it.
And the only way to silence someone who names your shame is to make them the villain.
For forty years, the West made Iran the villain.
Today, Italy suspended its defense agreement with Israel.
Today, a Polish parliament member held up an Israeli flag with a swastika.
