Sam Charles Hamad (often known as Sam Hamad) is a Scottish-Arab writer, journalist, and historian whose work focuses on the intersection of Middle Eastern politics, Scottish nationalism, and international relations.
Known for his incisive political commentary, Hamad frequently contributes to various publications, providing analysis on topics ranging from the Syrian conflict to the nuances of independence movements within the UK. He holds a specific interest in the historical and political dynamics of the Arab world, often challenging conventional narratives from a left-wing perspective. This is his first piece since the attacks on Iran.
“I fully support Iran as it faces a potential existential war against it by two ultra-belligerent nuclear-armed fascist states, namely the US and ‘Israel’.
The Israel First Trump regime and the fascist ethno-supremacist regime of Binyamin Netanyahu seek escalation, destabilisation and regional dominance – not humanitarian outcomes for Iranians.
They want the Iranian people to bleed. They want the Iranian people to suffer. They want chaos and destruction to eclipse the Iranian state – not the Iranian regime, but the Iranian people.
Do not be so stupid to imagine that these fascist genocidalists in Washington and Tel Aviv care anything about “humanitarianism”. They care only about their own narrow and supremacist interests. Israel has for decades wanted to destroy the Iranian state and drive it into a perpetual state of chaos and inter-ethnic war.
Do not mistake their rhetoric for principle. Appeals to “security” or “humanitarianism” by these fascist genocidalists mask a long-standing objective: weakening or dismantling the Iranian state and reshaping the region in their own Satanic image. Not just Israel and the US, but Saudi Arabia and the UAE too.
The western media will focus on the Iranian response to the Israel-US aggression (the tail wags the dog – Purim is just days away), but the attacks on Iran have been brutal. Well over 40 children killed in massacre after a US-Israeli bomb hit a girl’s school. Countless others killed and maimed in other places. And that’s just the first wave.
This is what the Israeli-US Axis thinks of Iranians – like Palestinians, they’re only good enough to be vapourised and incinerated in pursuit of Israeli regional hegemony and whatever benefits the US believes this engenders.
The enemies of humanity are Trump’s US and Israel. The Iranian regime is also a tyranny, but they did not strike the first blow. They were committed to peaceful negotiations over the nuclear programme. But Israel was NEVER going to let that happen. We all know it.
The Iranian regime has obviously gone awry and deviated gravely from the principles of the Islamic revolution. But the war it now finds itself in is a just one. Its nuclear-armed, genocidal, fascist enemies are much more dangerous, supported as they are by the supine, suicidal European ‘liberal democracies’ and all the Western illiberal fascist states, than Iran has ever been.
The catastrophe they are trying to create in Iran could drown much of the world in blood. And it won’t just be confined to the killing grounds of MENA.
Israel is the most violent state on earth, and the US under the demented maniac Trump is just warming up. The powers and forces that were meant to oppose fascism, such as those who puff their pigeon chests out over Russia, all support the fascist monstrosity that is the unholy Israel-US enterprise of death, suffering and destruction.”
