Mr. Speaker, we agree with my colleague that we unequivocally condemn the Iranian comments targeted toward Israel. We strongly condemn any support the Iranian government has given to terror groups in the Middle East.
The member talked quite extensively about human rights. He talked about the Iranian human rights abuses within Iran and why we should not have diplomatic relations with Iran. We believe that with diplomatic relations, we can convey our concerns, whether it be on human rights or on comments that the Iranian leadership has made toward Israel.
We know human rights abuses are happening in Saudi Arabia. Does he not feel that should also apply to the Saudi Arabian leadership, when it also has committed human rights atrocities, which are condemned around the world? Does he not believe that we should be in any diplomatic relations with it or at least consistent with Iran?
