In reponse to Shame on you!!!! atricle by Cameron A. Batmanghlich
Indeed over reactions of Israel to terrorist Hamas Organization by holding a city and its population hostage with lack of basic necessities and their daily bombardments is a humanitarian disaster and shameful and so is any defense of such inhumane act and please pass my sincere condolence to your friend who lost dear ones in Gaza.
But I also looked at your blog and it was filled with pseudo-intellectual articles since September 2007 and not once you addressed and felt shame for anything else that has been happening in the world and your own country Iran and now suddenly you start passing Shame to others?! Did you mean to say shame on me or at least shame on us ? Was it just a typo or you and everyone who feels the same , only know how to pass shame of others ?! and not take any responsibility yourself?
Where is your shame in not saying a word in the past 1.5 years of blogging in here , like did today for the first time; about issues such as
Political Imprisonments in Iran
Tortures in Iran
Killings and executions in Iran
Shutting down the newspapers in Iran
Arresting and beating Iranian women in the streets
Executions under pretext of cleansing the society
Imprisonment and harassment’s of Iranian students
Executing Children
Stoning
….and so much more ??
Do I need to name the women members of million signature campaign who have been arrested in the past 1.5 years ?
Do I need to name the teachers , labor union leaders, human rights advocates and even clergy who were imprisoned in the past 1.5 years ?
Do I need to give you statistics of drug use, poverty, unemployment, prostitution,… in Iran?
Do I need to….? ? ?
Mr. Cameron , I am sure now that you wrote few paragraphs about the inhumanity of Israel after you received the email about your friends loss but may be that was a wake up call that all these other Iranian people also have friends and family too and so do those civilian Israeli’s who get blown to pieces by suicide bombers of Hamas.
But PLEASE
Next time you wish to jump on the politically correct bandwagons of shaming others,…take a look in the mirror and once in while think about what is happening to your own countryman too !
and then at least say Shame on us !!
I am glad you and many others are now voicing your disappointment about what is happening to Palestinians but when this is all over, please do not disappear again while others keep trying to get your attention about inhumanity in your own country while you are basking back in to your “Tango”, “Amor perdido”, “Birds”, “Cigarette”, “your heart” , “Piazza”….. and so on!
Those are all lovely and beautiful thoughts about life but while you have been living in your dreamland, people of your country ALSO have been suffering, suffocating and even dying too!
respectfully
