Not your Palestinian dish driers. I’m talking about flag-bearing ones representing the Shah when Iran was a trusted allay of the West. The ones signifying the slaughter of up to 50,000 of its people by the Iranian regime. The ones that show support for the other 40,000 who have been imprisoned. The ones showing solidarity with a population risking their lives to rid themselves of a terrorist regime. The ones that support a taking down of the terrorist funding regime so the whole of the Middle East can be changed and improved. The ones that, if the regime were removed, will improve the lives of those you were wearing tea towels to support.
Where are they, Chlöe? More to the point where are you and your band of terrorist supporters? Your silence is deafening. The problems of the Palestinians are not solved by wearing tea towels: they are solved by ridding the world of evil regimes and replacing them with organisations that promote peace in the Middle East – not by the people who are continually threatening the annihilation of another race. When it comes to good and evil, one can’t pick and choose.
The hypocrisy is all too evident. When it comes to having an understanding of the geopolitical situation in any of the current conflicts, Chlöe and her ilk resemble simpletons. They spout a dialogue that should apply equally to more than one conflict but apparently to them that is not the case. This is no better illustrated than their use of the word ‘genocide’.
When Israel attack out of self-defence, Chlöe calls it genocide; when Iran slaughters its own people Chlöe and those who align with her suddenly lose their voices. That tells you a lot. It tells you, first and foremost, they are anti-Israel and prefer to transfer their affections to a people that support the likes of Hamas. They must do: they elected them to govern, so they must support what they stand for, which is another Holocaust – except this time the aim is not six million Jewish people but rather the extermination of the entire race.
And, this is of not just those living in Israel but anywhere in the world, and not just Jews but Christians, too. When Chlöe and her colleagues in parliament reach for their tea towels, this is who and what they are supporting. They are silent on Iran, because, like most of the left and their friends in the media, they are drowning in a sea of hypocrisy.
For the Ayatollah and his henchmen, who inflict genocide on their own people, the tide is about to turn. President Trump hasn’t positioned a significant amount of military hardware on Iran’s doorstep because he’s planning a drill in the area. As in the attack on Iran’s nuclear sites, Trump, quite rightly, is keeping his cards close to his chest. He will also have Elvis Presley’s song “It’s Now or Never” ringing in his ears: because it surely is. Iran will never be weaker.
You can be sure there is a plan and when the time is right that plan will be activated. Trump means what he says – unusual for a politician. But, of course, he’s not a politician and is therefore not encumbered with that mindset. Who feels sorry for Keir Starmer? Anybody? Probably not. Certainly not the Brits. There are many more leaders like him in politics and the world is suffering because of it.
But back to Chlöe and the washing up. Because there will be a wash up and, if Trump plays his cards right, it will be transformative for the Middle East and beyond. The dismantling of the Ayatollah and his regime, including those in charge of the military, police and other areas of government, will immediately end the war on terror, because the main supplier of that terror will not exist. This, more than anything else, is the key that will unlock the door for peace in the region. Attention can then turn to implementing the process of peace in the Middle East.
It won’t be easy. Trump’s Board of Peace still has a lot of questions hanging over it. They look very much a disparate group. But Trump will have had a strategy in place for bringing them, including Putin, together. I’m not at all sure it is going to work. Iran will be back in the fold of the West – an ally Israel and America can count on once again. Beyond that, who knows what the future holds. But, with any luck, Chlöe can put her tea towels safely away and only bring them out for drying dishes.
