TEHRAN (FNA)- West's double-standard policies on terrorism and its support for Israel's "state terrorism" have created an atmosphere of hatred for certain western countries among other nations of the world, a senior Iranian legislator said on Monday.
The United States and other Western states' unilateral policies over terrorism and also their support for Israel's "state terrorism" have culminated in widespread hatred towards these countries, member of Iranian parliamentary delegation to inter-parliamentary Union meeting in Bangkok Javad Jahangirzadeh said.
"The image of terrorism has changed. Economic terrorism, state terrorism, assassination of individuals and figures, siege and the brutal killing of Palestinian people are the other manifestations of terrorism," he added.
He also reiterated that Iran holds certain states' double standard policies toward terrorist groups accountable for thwarting international efforts to eradicate terrorism.
"The European Union's decision to remove the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization from the EU's terror list or utilizing the terrorist groups to inflict damage on non-Western states are part of the EU's dual stance towards this heinous phenomenon (terrorism)," Jahangirzadeh said
In February 2009, EU ministers removed the anti-Iran terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) from their list of terror organizations, following a European court ruling in favor of the group, which has acknowledged responsibility for many deadly attacks against Iranian and Iraqi civilians and cooperated actively with the regime of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
