I just came across your substack, and, to be honest, you clearly have one sided opinion/hate towards Jewish state. It’s a very distinctive and biased view. Not sure, what you think about October,7. I can guess, you are justifying it, bc of the tone and overall reporting on this conflict.

I regret , I came across your note on my page. Its disturbing, how you can justify murdering civilians and hostages still kept underground.

In Iran’s case, American and British corporate interests know there still is a lot of oil to be appropriated from that demonized nation. … The 1979 Iranian Revolution's expulsion of major Western nations was largely due to U.S and British fossil fuel companies exploiting Iran's plentiful reserves.

Such an expulsion would've been a big-profit-losing lesson learned by the foreign-nation oil corporation heads, which they, by way of accessing domestic political thus military muscle, would not willingly allow to happen to them again. [Maybe the 2003-11 U.S. invasion of Iraq, and then its oil fields, is an example of this insatiable-greed mentality.]

There has been a predictable American-UK proclivity for sanctioning Iran and/or its officials and allies ever since the Revolution. It would be understandable if those corporate fossil-fuel interests would like Iran’s government to fall thus enabling Big Oil to access Iran’s rich oil fields. It may be that if the relevant oil-company heads were/are in fact against Iran's post-Revolution government(s), then likely so are their related Western governments and, via general news-media support, national collective citizenry.

This is all very interesting and I am largely in agreement with your observations about Israel - but why the need to keep dissing the liberators and over-stressing their al-Qaida beginnings? They quite clearly broke with al-Q several years ago and come in good faith. Go ahead and bash everyone else, but I don't think they deserve the same treatment.

Three letter sock puppet alert…

Well, for two obvious reasons. Either they haven't broken with their past, in which case we'll see minorities being targeted. Or they have, but only so they can get labelled "moderate" in the sense Saudi Arabia is "moderate" – that is, willing to work with the West and Israel to screw the Palestinians.

I think there are more than two possibilities here, and you show your prejudices only too clearly with what you say. From what they have said so far, they are there in all sincerity to liberate their country - nothing to do with Saudi Arabia 'moderate' and screwing the Palestinians (for whom I have campaigned for decades just in case you start to label me)

Let's set aside romantic ideas of "sincerity" – is Starmer, was Biden? The relevant questions are: "Liberate their country" from what and for whom?
