TTT This has been covered before. In a nutshell, because the regime gives really large amounts of money to Hezbollah (the richest terrorist group in the world) and they (Hezbollah) are dedicated to 'removing Israel from the surface of the world' and so the anti-Semite Momentum and Corbyn will not condemn them.

The middle east has been the victim of outside meddling for decades. The whole Arab Spring movement, which has brought chaos to several countries, was a carefully orchestrated plan, formulated in Washinton, to remove governments that the US disapproved of. They did that by nurturing the seeds of discontent then escalated it. Then armed and funded rebels to overtake the country. They did it in Syria, Libya, Tunisia and Egypt.
What we need to be wary of, is that this is not the start of the same process in Iran. The region is gripped by a power struggle between Saudia Arabia and Iran, with the US supporting the Saudis. The protests in Iran are probably genuine, but that does not mean they won’t be exploited by the Saudi/US cabal.
I am sure it is with that in mind that the Labour Shadow Foreign Secretary is reluctant to jump on any bandwagon until it is obvious where it is headed. We saw where the support of rebels in Syria led us, let’s not make the same mistake.

what's it matter who the opposition condemns? They're not in a position to do anything.

Governments can, though. How's May doing about condemning, say, the Saudis? Is it that we're on their side against the Iranians, for Shias and against Sunnis?

[ToraToraTora]

good points khandro, Labour's support for Middle east terror organisations is well known as is their ingrained anti Semitism.

[Jackdaw33]

Here is the weather forecast for the Middle East:

In some parts it will be Sunni whereas in others it will be ***.

[Jackdaw33]

So the word Shi-ite is now blocked. Have the Sunnis taken over AB?

[ToraToraTora]

"what's it matter who the opposition condemns? They're not in a position to do anything. " - because lack of condemnation is taken as tacit approval jno.

[ToraToraTora]

JD you can use the butchers back slang: tish.

[Jackdaw33]

That wouldn't work here, I was making a play on the word Shi-ite.

[Gromit]

// because lack of condemnation is taken as tacit approval //

So we approve of all the stonings and beheadings in Saudi. Their treatment of women like cattle, the genocide they are inflicting in Yemen. The Islamic extremism they are exporting all over the world.
I am not hearing any loud condemnation from Mrs May, so we must approve of all that.

[Kromovaracun]

Because there is a sense in which Iran is "anti-American", which matters just about more than anything else to people like Seamus Milne.

[Mamyalynne]

It's no doubt because of folk butchering words that other perfectly OK ones gets hit by the censor, but hey it's all jolly fun.

As I said on a previous thread TTT.
//Poor Jeremy has a lot to be "timid" about at the moment. Notice the distinct lack of comment regarding Iran, never mind his reticence when it comes to European matters. After his ploy of encouraging the youth of Britain to take to the streets and demonstrate he is very reluctant to applaud the young people of Iran who are demanding that their democratic rights be reinstated. Perhaps he is less than enthusiastic about criticising his pals from the funders of Muslim terrorist groups after publicly endorsing their views, and himself receiving campaign funds from them.//

Still works here methinks. :))

[maggiebee]

How I wish posters on this site would use people's proper names. Is it so difficult?

[Jackdaw33]

I don't see what you're getting at.

[Togo]

//because lack of condemnation is taken as tacit approval jno. //

Poor Gromit. Complete irony failure once again. Would you not surmise that TTT was in fact alluding to that oft used tactic, not least yourself, of some posters who deploy just such a strategy when their feeble theories begin to crumble?

[Gromit]

Togo

No,

[maggiebee]

"Jezza and Co"? Who are they? Do they have real names?

[dannyk13]

Jezza = Jeremy Corbyn

[Kromovaracun]

Even by Jeremy Corbyn's own standards he is supporting the Iranian regime by staying quiet:
