ABC Forced to Admit the Truth

It must have killed the ABC collective to pen a piece admitting that, gosh darnit, them damn Joos are doing the Iranian people a favour. Iran is always a bit of a problem for the taxpayer-funded leftist propaganda outfit national broadcaster, forcing them as it does, to try and reconcile their uncritical allegiance to feminist/rainbow dogmas and their reflexive fawning over Islam.

When that particular cognitive dissonance collides with their dogmatic antipathy to the Jewish state, an ABC journalist is reduced to stunned-mullet catatonia. So much so that they inadvertently start telling (a bit of) the truth.

Such as that many Iranians are quietly cheering as the Islamic regime is decapitated by the Big Bad Jews.

Iranian Australians opposed to the country’s authoritarian regime say they feel “mixed” emotions of anxiety for their loved ones, and relief high-level regime officials have been killed, after Israel launched an attack on the country last week.

What the smooth-brained leftist ninnies such as the ABC forget, if they ever knew, is that the Iranian Islamic regime is in large part an Arab coloniser in an ancient Persian culture. A culture that never forgets that it is one of the oldest civilisations in the world and was long a great power. Despite 1600 years of Arab Muslims attempting to exterminate Persian culture, it has survived. Unlike most conquered nations in the region, Iranians don’t use Arabic as their lingua franca. Even within Islam, Iran is an outlier, being the only officially Shia state. As I’ve read it put, “Iran survived Islam by bending itself to Islam, while also bending Islam to itself.”

So, a great many Iranians, especially among expatriates who have fled the regime, are not at all upset to see the regime’s leadership blown to smithereens.

Such as Siamak Ghahreman, who earlier this year asked the government to investigate whether former Afghan national Senator Fatima Payman “has been influenced by foreign agents in a way that undermines Australian values and democratic integrity” over her statement that Iran was an “incredible place” for women.

Siamak Ghahreman, the Sydney-based president of the Australian Iranian Community Organisation, said his friends in Iran did not support the regime either.

He also said they felt some comfort the attacks appeared to be targeted.

That one in particular must have killed the ABC. Having to admit that Israel targets its attacks rather than indiscriminately murdering civilians, as Iran and its proxies do, including the ABC’s beloved ‘Palestinians’? It’s enough to reduce an ABC journalist to sucking their thumb and clutching their keffiyeh blankie.

On Friday, dozens of Israeli jets dropped bombs on Iranian targets which included military bases and nuclear research sites, killing three senior military commanders and two scientists involved in Iran’s controversial nuclear program.

It goes without saying, though, that local Iranian expats are worried about their families. Who wouldn’t be? But at the same time, they’re pleased the regime is getting its comeuppance. Perhaps fatally.

From Melbourne, Nos Hosseini said she was worried about her family and friends in Iran, many whom live in the capital Tehran and near the oil refineries where missiles have struck.

“I’ve spoken to family and they’ve said they heard explosions and saw their windows rattling and shaking,” the spokesperson and secretary of the Iranian Women’s Association said.

In other words, they’re closer to actual danger than Golly G ever was. But unlike the light-fingered former politician, they’re not about to weep for the regime they fled from.

While fear from continuing attacks looms large, Ms Hosseini said there was also a sense of relief among people she knows, and in videos and posts she has seen on social media.

“The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and those that have been responsible for enacting human rights violations … have been killed by these attacks – so that’s been a cause of celebration” […]

Rana Dadpour, the founder of advocacy group AUSIRAN, said she and people she knew in Iran felt similarly to Ms Hosseini.

“It’s just a confusing space that many of us are now living in,” the James Cook University lecturer said.

“It’s very human to feel a sense of relief that people who are responsible for the killing of your beloveds are getting targeted and killed.

“And it’s also very human to feel nervous about the uncertainty that is evolving right now in Iran and with the reactions of the regime” […]

“This is a paradox, because if it was a normal country, being attacked by a foreign force would have been really bad … but the attacks are mostly targeted,” [Siamak Ghahreman] said.

The Iranian expats are hoping Israel’s strikes will be yet another straw which might finally break the back of the hated Islamic regime.

Ms Hosseini said she was hopeful the Iranian people would protest again against authorities, given the killings of high-level officials might have weakened the regime.

“We don’t want to see bloodshed … but it presents an opportune time for the people to take back their country and conduct protests and show their opposition to the regime.”

Ms Dadpour said while it was “early days” and there was still a lot of uncertainty, she hoped the current Iranian regime would eventually be overthrown.

“I hope whatever happens at the end of the day will be for Iran to see democracy and freedom and for the Iranian people to live a normal life,” she said.

And won’t it just kill the ABC if it was Israel that did the Lord’s work that the West was too gutless (or too complicit) to.
