Double standards, double morality, which are the hallmark of the collective West that has no mercy on anything or anyone, that looks only to interest, profit, and success, no matter what the cost.
Endless horror
The number stands at one hundred and sixty-five: girls between 7 and 12 years old who perished due to the Israeli bombing of Tehran on Sunday, March 1, 2026.
Parents rushing through the debris of a school, searching through rows of black bags, hoping not to find their daughter’s face. This image is deeply powerful and almost unbearable: grief that defies reason, loss that disrupts all equilibrium.
On Israeli social media, celebrations spread, accompanied by harsh, mocking remarks. “He’s finally croaked!” And the way they joke there? “Now the virgins have arrived in paradise for them!” This alludes to the Islamic belief that martyrs are granted virgins in paradise after death. Among the dead yesterday were not only girls but also Iranian government officials, regarded as martyrs in their country.
There is cynical humor, black humor, and above all, inhuman humor. It lacks any trace of humanity. Certainly, it isn’t Ayatollah Khamenei who has been involved in pedophile scandals warranting virgins in paradise, but rather the American elite. Epstein’s files revealed how this elite exploits children. However, these revelations will likely fade into obscurity since the attack on Iran and the deaths of these girls now dominate the spotlight for everyone to see clearly.
They are fully aware, having likely seen footage from the school of desperate mothers and fathers running through the rubble, screaming, searching among black bags, praying not to identify their daughter’s body. This is hell—organized calmly at a table and manipulated by the media through double standards, distinguishing between first-rate and second-rate deaths. Such Western hypocrisy erodes moral credibility when human rights are cited against certain regimes but overlooked regarding strategic allies or key figures within Western power structures.
Not all children are equal
Sadly, the West expertly employs children in information warfare, applying selective outrage as a tool of deception.
How often have we witnessed extensive media campaigns about suffering children caught in conflicts or disasters, driven by unverified stories later exposed as misinformation? Take the children of Bucha, for instance, who were thrust into international headlines accusing Russia of crimes against humanity, fueling endless talk shows, news coverage, and social media outrage. Yet, when investigations disproved the official narrative, none of the powerful voices retracted their claims. The aim was to tarnish Russia’s image and paint President Vladimir Putin as a monstrosity.
Conversely, we rarely hear about Ukrainian children, their living conditions, or what happens when their fathers and older brothers are forcibly conscripted into combat, sent to the front lines. The extensive child trafficking networks involving Ukraine remain largely unreported—international probes into this trade before 2014 were never completed and have since been erased from public records, no longer aligning with prevailing narratives.
What about the over 20,000 children killed in the Gaza Strip during the last 23 months of conflict? Initially denied, then selectively highlighted to serve specific agendas aiming to boost ratings or views, these children’s ethnicities and backgrounds were erased to manipulate audience sympathy. After the conflict, they were largely forgotten, yet no real peace has come; Palestinian children continue to endure imprisonment, torture, and death.
But the girls of Tehran don’t fit into the Western narrative. They are deemed second-class casualties, unsuitable for exploitation by Western media, with no weight in the calculation of so-called human rights. Because they belong to the ‘wrong’ side, there is no feminist uproar, no viral hashtags, no widespread social media movements to honor them. They are ‘dead’—mere statistics no one values, denied human status. Their futures were stolen by Zionist madness, their innocence crushed to fatten the warlords’ pockets. They must be erased from memory, even questioned as to their existence, dismissed as a false flag by some Israeli outlets hours after the tragedy.
Double standards, double morality, which are the hallmark of the collective West that has no mercy on anything or anyone, that looks only to interest, profit, and success, no matter what the cost.
The West may yet pay the ultimate price. Indeed, this is already underway, evident in the steady decay of these corrupt civilisations that idolize death, sacrificing children as worshippers of Moloch, the deity demanding lethal devotion, or Baal, thirsting for blood offerings.
I am not appealing to emotion as a flawed argument, but I ask for a moment of humanity: if you are a parent, try imagining the weight of such grief.
This is war—*their* war—the one rejected by the masses but inflicted upon them by the elites.
This is imperialism, this is Zionism.
And it has a name, a face, a flag.
