Criticize Israel, You're Antisemitic; Criticize Iran, You're Sectarian

Yeah. You know, this is what the Iranians always say. They always say about my analysis that I'm being sectarian. This is just like the Zionists, to be honest. It's just like the Israelis.

If you have an an objective, factual, historically accurate analysis of what Israel does, then they'll say that you're anti Semitic. And it's the same with Iran. If you have an accurate, objective, historically correct analysis of Iran's role in the region, in The Middle East, if you have an accurate analysis, not a propagandized analysis, if you have an accurate analysis, then they jump right away to you're being sectarian. Oh, you must hate the Shia. It's just like the it's just like the Israelis.

Oh, you must hate the Jews. No. It's got nothing to do with that. This is an objective analysis of the role that Iran has played in the Middle East, and it has been a disruptive role. It has been a destabilizing role at least since 1979.

That's a fact. And in terms of their supposed support for Palestine, their support for Gaza, they have never built a single thing in Gaza. They've never built a single thing. You know, you've heard about Kuwaiti hospital, you've even heard about the Indonesian hospital. Where's the Iranian hospital?

Well, there isn't one. The GCC, the countries that that that everyone loves to hate, all of the people who like to listen to the Scott Ridders of the world, the Vanessa Beeleys of the world, the Jackson Hinkles of the world, the George Galloways of the world, they all like to believe and to put forward this idea that Iran has been this brave lone supporter of the Palestinians, and that the Arabs have betrayed the Palestinians and so forth. You would not have had any infrastructure in Gaza since at least 2008 if it wasn't for the GCC. If it wasn't for the GCC in Egypt, half a dozen times, say at least six times, since 2008, The Gulf and Egypt and Turkey have rebuilt Gaza again and again and again. That's where they get their electricity from, that's how they have electricity, that's how they have any infrastructure.

All of the infrastructure that's been destroyed in Gaza, the the, you know, the civil infrastructure and so forth, medical infrastructure, everything, all of that was built by The Gulf. All of that was built by The Gulf, Turkey, Egypt, not by Iran. Iran hasn't built anything. All they've done is bombastic rhetoric and support Hezbollah. You know, even their support for Hamas more or less ended when Hamas became the government in Gaza.

And then their support for Hamas completely ended, when they wanted Hamas to support Bashar al Assad and to go against the Muslims who were, rebelling against Bashar al Assad. When Hamas refused to go along with that, well, they basically dropped Hamas. Now who's being sectarian? See, fact of the matter is that Iran has operated in the region, in a sectarian manner. They have operated in a sectarian manner.

That's a fact. And their support for Hezbollah has nothing whatsoever to do with Palestine, not anything. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Palestine. It doesn't have anything to do with Gaza. It doesn't have anything to do with the West Bank.

Hezbollah is an organization that they created, to try to enhance, and improve and increase, their influence inside of Lebanon under the guise of being a resistance organization. Now, they did engage in some level of resistance with regards to occupation of Southern Lebanon, but they haven't done anything to try to liberate Palestine. Now they has Iran. They they they let Israel know that they were gonna attack them when they when they attacked them, their retaliation twice. And they let them know in advance what they were gonna do, when they were gonna do it, where they were gonna hit, and assured them that there weren't gonna be any casualties.

They let Israel know, they let America know well in advance. That's the this is factual information. You can pretend that it's sectarian, but that's the same as a Zionist saying that your criticism of Israel is antisemitic. It's the same thing. And with regards to being sectarian, let me just put this out in the open.

The first of all, these are two separate issues. The the difference between the sect of Iran and the rest of the Muslims, that's a separate issue from the objective analysis and evaluation of Iran's role in the region. That's a separate issue. But with regards to sectarianism, we don't call ourselves Sunnis because why should we? We're Muslims.

We don't have to, differentiate ourselves from those, who separated from us, differentiated themselves from us. When they differentiated themselves from us, it doesn't now oblige us to differentiate ourselves from them. No. We're the Muslims. We're the Jama'ah.

We're the main body of the Muslims. All of these other groups that that that that broke off from the main body of the Muslims, those are sects. So by definition, they will always be sectarian because they are sects, but the main body of the Muslims is not a sect. With all of these sects, we we can identify historically when they broke off from the Jama'ah, when they became their own sect, you know, when they had a name that differentiated themselves and distinguished themselves from the main body of the Muslims, from the Jama'ah. We didn't become a sect because they left us.

They became a sect because they left us. So we, the Muslims, by definition, are not sectarian. In order to be sectarian, you have to be a sect, and that's what they are. Now again, that's something separate from the actual historical objective reality of the role that Iran has played in the Middle East. And and especially with regards to Iran's relationship with the the Palestinian issue, with Gaza and the West Bank and Hamas and so forth.

This is all separate issues. But when I do an analysis of what Iran has or has not done, I'm just looking at the facts. I'm not looking at it from a sectarian point of view. I have my views with regards to the fact that they follow a sect, but that doesn't have anything to do with my analysis of what they do or do not do, in The Middle East. And it doesn't matter to me if they wanna follow a sect, it doesn't matter to me.

They can follow what they wanna follow. Anyone can follow what they wanna follow. It's the same with them as it is with Christians or Jews or Hindus or Buddhists or anyone else. You can follow whatever you wanna follow. It doesn't matter to me.

But either way, whatever you're following, I'm gonna tell the truth about what you do and about what you don't do. And the propaganda that you spout about yourselves is wildly inaccurate. And the propaganda that is spread about you by camouflaged neocons, like I say, like a Scott Ritter or a George Galloway or a Vanessa Bealey or whatever, People who who believe that, you know, who who like to play this game of how much Muslim blood can we see spilt. You know? We wanna see the Palestinian blood spilt, we wanna see Muslim blood in Lebanon spilt, we wanna see Muslim blood in Syria spilt, we wanna see Muslim blood in Jordan spilt, we wanna see it spilt in Egypt.

They can't get enough of Muslim blood. It's supposed to be a pro Muslim position, you know? It's supposed to be an anti Zionist position. Why that? You couldn't be more Zionist than that, than than being continuously in support of trying to spread war and chaos and carnage and anarchy and conflict and strife in the Muslim world.

You can't be more Zionist than that. That's exactly why the Zionists are there in the first place, is to try and spread instability in the Muslim world. That's the whole point behind that colony, behind that colonial project of The United States. So all of these people who try to dig up Iran and who try to pretend and lie that Iran is the only one who's doing anything for the Palestinians when they've never built a single structure, they never built homes, they never built hospitals, they never built roads, they never built schools, they never built orphanage. They never built anything for the Palestinians.

And like I say, even in terms of their arming and funding of Hamas, well, that ended ten years ago. And then it completely ended, like I say, when when, Hamas wouldn't support Bashar al Assad. So they have taken. They have approached the region in a sectarian manner. That's a fact.

That that's that's just an objective reality. They have approached the region in a sectarian manner. Now, they are changing their ways, inshaAllah they're changing their ways. And and I think that the that the the recent deal that they made with Russia, this is all part of incentivizing them to change their ways and showing them that since you've never actually tried to increase your influence in a non hostile, non aggressive, non intrusive, non disruptive manner, then you have to agree, to just withdraw from trying to have influence in the region, and we'll make sure that you're taken care of one way or another. We'll make sure that you can prosper, we'll make sure that you're safe, we'll try to make sure that you're stable, we'll try to protect you against the otherwise inevitable regime change that you will be subjected to.

And I think that they wisely taking that deal and understanding because it's the same as in Gaza, the same in the West Bank, the same for the Palestinians, it's the same in Lebanon, it's the same in Syria. They didn't spend any money trying to build up infrastructure, they didn't spend any money trying to build up businesses, they didn't support entrepreneurs or what have you. They didn't build homes, they didn't build roads in any of these countries. All they did was support militants. That's all they've ever done, just support militants.

Same in Iraq, they just support militants. And that approach is very amenable to the West. That's a that's an approach that America likes, because it's it it it fuels the whole conflict, it fuels strife and instability and violence and chaos and so forth. It fuels all of that. The Zionists like it, the Americans like it, and the Iranians have been playing that game.

But it's a new game in town, has new rules. And Iran is learning that they can also, if they follow those rules, then they can benefit and they can help themselves and they can potentially save themselves, like I say, from regime change. But no, I don't have a sectarian analysis about Iran. I view what they follow to be a sect because that's what it is, but that doesn't have any bearing on my analysis, objective analysis about what they do and what they don't do.
