A terrorist regime with which Sánchez has a better relationship than with IsraelFor decades, the Western left has defined itself as a great defender of progress, tolerance, and human rights. Iran is under an Islamist dictatorship that discriminates against women, hangs homosexuals, promotes terrorism, and imprisons, tortures, and executes those who call for democracy—human rights violations about which the Western far left remains ominously silent. For years, when faced with the dilemma of which side to take, the Western far left has always preferred Iran's side, because its regime is openly anti-Western, just like communists in this part of the world. With his cynical message, Khamenei has exposed those who support him, with a terrorist regime whose soon-to-be overthrown and whose leaders are brought to trial. Of course, you will never see me on the side of the Iranian dictatorship and its Western partners.
