I’ve seen a lot said about Ed Miliband meeting the Islamic regime foreign minister. But this concise article by @JakeWSimons says it best:
“When jihadists are your underdogs and democracies are your oppressors, you’ve lost the moral argument.”
Our Foreign Secretary should take the time to consider how his handshake looks to the many thousands of Iranian parents “whose children were slaughtered like animals on the streets, or blinded and castrated with shotguns, or hanged for the crime of wanting freedom, or executed by armed men as they lay in hospital.”

Dear Mr. @marklevinshow , thank you for standing with the Iranian people. I messaged you before about Narges Mohammadi, and I appreciated that you stopped promoting her. I’m reaching out again, respectfully, because I keep seeing you share Masih Alinejad. She isn’t popular among Iranians at all . She came from Iran’s reformist press, was paid for years through U.S.-funded VOA contracts, and broke with Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, whose name millions inside Iran are chanting. A carefully staged photo of her walking her dog makes for good PR, but it doesn’t reflect where the Iranian people stand. Please amplify @PahlaviComms. Long live Iran.
