on 9/16/2022, Mahsa Amini, aged 22, died in police custody in Iran
9/21/2022, Biden gave a speech at the US General Assembly:
“And today, we stand with the brave citizens and the brave women of Iran who right now are demonstrating to secure their basic rights.”
the demonstrations began in the wake of Mahsa Amini’s tragic death
one has to condemn Amini’s murderers in the strongest term
but was Biden right to talk about the basic rights of Iranians?
NO, because:
Biden, & the corporate run media, is quiet about Zainab al-Khazali’s murder
on 9/20/2022, Zainab al-Khazali, aged 15, was killed by US soldiers
Zainab Essam Majed al-Khazali fell victim to the military drills in Baghdad
doesn’t Zainab deserve the same sympathy/exposure in US media as Mahsa?
but then so many uncomfortable questions need to be answered:
what are the US armed forces doing in Iraq which is 6,000 miles away?
are we at war with Iraq?
and so on …
it’s non-mainstream websites like The Cradle
that draw our attention to these important issues …
