Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman has strongly condemned the Israeli regime’s mistreatment of a rights activist who stood in solidarity with the Palestinian people, describing its actions as “cruel, inhuman and degrading.”

Esmail Baghaei made the remarks in a post on X, referring to reports that Israel “tortured and sexually humiliated” Greta Thunberg.

He cited Thunberg’s recent interview with a Swedish newspaper, in which the young activist described being violently assaulted during a protest.

“They grab me, pull me to the ground, and throw an Israeli flag over me,” Thunberg was quoted as saying.

The spokesman said Israel’s behavior reflects a deliberate effort to instill fear and suppress dissent amid its genocide in Gaza.

      What the fuck are you even talking about? Are you high or off medication or are you just that naive to think that being gay in the middle east is a good idea? Are you one of those crazies that keep on going how well the gays are tested in Islam and that Islam really does embrace the gay? Or moreso, that gays are treated worse in the west than they are in islamic countries? Come on, you can’t be THAT daft.

      How far down did you go down what hole, I wonder…

      But leave it up to types like you to take a legit criticism and use the whataboutism trope “but the west does it too!”

      No, they don’t. I’m still waiting for the next public execution of a gay man because he’s gay. The US has quite a few idiots that would love that, but they’re not even close to that happening

        You’re a tone def lib that doesn’t understand that while your criticism is true in regards to Iran, it exists in a context where your gullible repeating it is used as a justification to intervene militarily.
