- Europe ravenously
throw sanctions on a country that has been home to Jews for
more than three thousand years, yet tries to find ways to keep
on doing business with a country such as Iran that is not only
trying to establish its hegemony throughout the Middle East,
but is also the serial violator of just about every human
right imaginable. The only conclusion one can come to is that
Europe would evidently still like to kill the Jews and is
happy to support those wishing to kill them.
- "In February
[2018], Canadian Iranian academic and environmental activist
Kavous Seyyed Emami died in Evin prison following his
arbitrary arrest two weeks earlier. Authorities claimed he
committed suicide and refused to release his body unless his family
agreed to an immediate burial without an independent
autopsy." — Amnesty International.
- The list of
unspeakable human rights violations committed by Iran's regime
is lengthy; however, by far the most disturbing seems the
cruelty enacted against children.
- Now is the time for
the EU to halt its appeasement policy with a regime that does
not hesitate to flog people -- publicly, as a message to
others -- torture any citizen they choose to target, enact
cruel punishments such as amputation without a fair trial, and
execute children just starting their lives. These are acts
that should be condemned -- not condoned through the pursuit
of appeasement policies, moral depravity and raw greed.
Why does
the European Union continue to pursue appeasement policies with
Iran's regime, which has an excruciating human rights record?
According to Amnesty International, in Iran, "Girls as young
as nine can be sentenced to execution; for boys it's 15. At least
73 young offenders were executed between 2005 and 2015."

According to a report published by Amnesty
International on February 26, the human rights situation in Iran
has "severely deteriorated". Why then does the European
Union continue to pursue appeasement policies with a regime that
has an excruciating human rights record? Sadly, Europe -- in spite
its endless moral preening and self-righteousness -- seems to have
become the world most immoral player -- if it was not already. The
European Union, for instance, unjustly singles out for bullying the
only liberal, democratic, human-rights-abiding country in the
Middle East: Israel. Not Turkey for occupying Northern Cyprus,
China for obliterating Tibet, or Pakistan for occupying Kashmir.
Europe and the corrupt United Nations do not lay a glove on the
real perpetrators of crimes against humanity such as China, Cuba,
Russia, Turkey, North Korea, Nigeria or Sudan, to name just a few.
