Persian (Farsi) term or phrase: یه بام و دو هوا
This was a comment on the "نوبت شما" BBC Persian Facebook Web site about recent tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia.


یه سوال ازتون دارم. چرا هیچ اشاره ای ب حمله جنگنده های سعودی ب سفارت ایران در یمن نمیکنی دراینجا؟اگه یه معادله رو میخای بررسی کنی همه موارد رو باید گوش زد کرد... ب نظر من دیدگاه یه بام و دو هوا و سیاست یکطرفه شما اصلا صحیح نیست. دستت رو شده.


یه بام و دو هوا = ?

Thanks.

Explanation:
«یک بام و دو هوا» یا استاندارد دوگانه اصطلاحی است برای اشاره به تبعیض و بی‌عدالتی؛ [۱] زمانی که در شرایط یکسان، ولی برای افراد متفاوت مجموعه متفاوتی از اصول یا قوانین اعمال می‌گردد. چنین عملکردی بر خلاف اصول اولیه عدالت شناخته می‌شود.
