I am trying to understand why thinking with completely different moral standards when considering the foreign policy of countries is so normal for US Americans and Europeans? On second thought, these different standards also apply to domestic policy, don’t they?

It’s not just normal you are generally considered crazy if you apply the same standards to Israel or US Americans as to everyone else. Have you ever replaced Israel or US America with North Korea, Russia or China just as a test in news articles? Or, conversely, replaced North Korea, Russia or China with Israel or the US?

The double standards and extreme bias is so obvious that I find it very irritating that most people don’t seem to realize it.

Imagine North Korea, Russia or China blowing up girls’ elementary school? How would the media report it?

My answer is, who control the media is always right. Human right, justify works just if it serves interests of western world.

      I am hardly going to stand in defence of Iran either, I don’t think America should be attacking them but there is fuck all I can do about it. Hardly going to campaign to send supplies to Iran and already avoiding American products.
