Iran killed as many civilians in 2 weeks as Israel did in 13 months - here's why those leftist protesters are nowhere to be found

If over the last two weeks Iran had been killing civilians at the rate Israel did during the recent war with Hamas, around 475 Iranian civilians should be dead right now, just over two weeks into the conflict.

Instead, CBS (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-protest-death-toll-over-12000-feared-higher-video-bodies-at-morgue/)is reporting 12,000 civilian deaths (with one source going as high as 20,000). ...

In the Israel-Hamas War, it took Israel just under 13 months to reach that civilian death toll (or 5 months, if you believe Hamas' figures, which I do not). And again, it took Iran just two weeks.

So why all the silence? Where are the college protesters that we saw the instant Israel defended itself?

At least a handful of them would admit that, of the Palestinians killed, a few were militants, if not outright terrorists. In Iran, however, none of those killed have been militants. They’re all civilians being mowed down by machine guns.

So why the apathy? Here are a few quick reasons (5 of them), which all turn out to be related.

First, the modern left hates Israel (despite it being seriously left-leaning socially) because the modern left hates Westernism and human flourishing, and Israel is the embodiment of both of those things in the Middle East.

Second, there are no Jews doing any of the killing. The left is wildly anti-Semitic, going all the way back to Marx. Remember his essay on "The Jewish Question" (https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1844/jewish-question/)? And what about Marx's infamous comment (https://marxists.architexturez.net/archive/marx/works/1862/letters/62_07_30a.htm) about Jewish German philosopher Ferdinand Lassalle, where Marx appropriated and then fused the n-word ever so gently with the word "Jewish"? Anti-Semitism is embedded in leftism's DNA. ...

Interesting article in MSN - not what I would have expected. Of course, the casualty numbers from Iran are hard to confirm, but based on the previous 46 years of Iranian history, it would not be surprising if they are that high. Praying for the Persian people and the Christian missionaries working undercover in Iran.

spot on.

it was the left the created all these problems, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Cuba. And even Russia having nuclear weapons.

All created problems by liberals.

<< Iran killed as many civilians in 2 weeks as Israel did in 13 months >>

A crucial distinction is that Israel targeted jihadi terrorist murderers who were deliberately placing others in harm’s way (collateral damage), whereas Iran targeted (and continues to target) legitimate protestors who aim to bring down a jihadi terrorist regime.

So why all the silence?

Because the left is at war with smokers like this Iranian protestor. LOL

“Why the silence?”

Iran isn’t being run by Jews.

God save the Persian people—bring them life, freedom, and salvation in Jesus Christ! Amen!

we all know the answer. It’s the same reason black people can slaughter each other in Chicago. But if a white guy kills a black guy the outrage machine instantly gets jacked up to 11.

Great news. President Trump assured us that the killing is drying up. “The killing in Iran is stopping.”
