George Eaton: "With the prospect of a pre-emptive Israeli attack on Iran growing ever more likely, Westminster is finally beginning to respond. In a little-noticed move, Conservative MP John Baron, who resigned as a Tory health spokesman over the Iraq war, has tabled a parliamentary motion calling on the government to rule out military action against Iran. He rightly warned that the use of force by Israel or anyone else would be "wholly counter-productive and would serve only to encourage any development of nuclear weapons.""

Unlike nuclear-armed, race-based, war criminal and genocidal Apartheid Israel, Iran (1) is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-proliferation treaty (NPT), (2) does not have nuclear weapons (Israel reportedly has 400) , (3) does not want nuclear weapons, (4) has not conducted nuclear tests (Apartheid Israel probably conducted tests with Apartheid South Africa), (5) wants a nuclear weapons-free Middle East (opposed by the US and Apartheid Israel), (6) has not invaded any other country for centuries (Apartheid Israel has attacked or invaded 10), (7) does not have territorial ambitions re other countries (Israel occupies and continues to ethnically cleanse Palestine, occupies part of Lebanon, and has occupied and ethnically cleanse a large slab of Syria), (8) Iran is a world-leader in the fight against drugs, notably US-protected opiates from Afghanistan (Apartheid Israel leads the world in the Ecstasy trade as well as the illegal human body parts trade), (9) Iran has a Net Carbon Credit or Net Climate Credit (Apartheid Israel is a typical Western high carbon polluter with a Net Carbon Debt), (10) Iran is a democracy with theocratic oversight (Apartheid Israel is a race-based democracy or ethnocracy like Apartheid South Africa with democracy based on genocide - of 12 million Palestinians only the adults of 1.5 million Palestinian Israelis, albeit as Third Class citizens, can vote for the government ruling all of former Mandated Palestine; 6 million Palestinians cannot even live in their own country; 4.3 million Occupied Palestinians are confined under Israeli guns to the Gaza Concentration Camp or to ever-dwindling West bank mini-Bantustans), and (11) notwithstanding Sharia law and misogynist abuses, Iran has a vastly better human rights record than the war criminal, genocidal US Alliance countries including Apartheid Israel (12 million Muslim violent deaths and avoidable deaths from foreign-imposed deprivation in the Zionist-backed US Alliance War on Muslims, 1990-2012 Google "Muslim Holocaust" and " Muslim Genocide").

Decent people around the world must oppose the remorseless Neocon American and Zionist Imperialist (NAZI) push for war on peaceful, remote Iran. What can people do? Decent people everywhere – and especially decent folk in US Alliance countries - must (a) inform everyone they can about the above disparities and (b) impose sanctions and boycotts against all avoidable goods and services from Apartheid Israel and US Alliance countries involved in the worsening Muslim Genocide. The World must tell the genocidal racist Zionists and the genocidal, racist, pro-Zionist Anglo-American neocons that we will not tolerate any more of their obscene, genocidal wars. Decent folk everywhere must impose where practicable boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Apartheid Israel and all countries, corporations, people, politicians and parties who support this endlessly warmongering, race-based, genocidal, nuclear terrorist Apartheid rogue state
