As Iran protests to end Khameni’s authoritarian reign, where are the encampments from lefty college students?

There are no flotillas on the way to save Iran.

No Soros-funded “democracy” groups pressuring Western governments to intervene on behalf of civilians being arrested and murdered.

No astroturfing movement demanding economic boycotts.

When college students return from winter break this month, they’ll find not a single encampment supporting the Iranian uprising against one of the world’s most brutal regimes.

Nor are there any emergency meetings or condemnations from the United Nations — member states have been busy denouncing the United States for removing Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro and Israel for its recognition of Somaliland.

The more people might be free, the more the UN is distressed.

Outlets such as the BBC, which spread virtually every fictitious claim about the Gaza “genocide” and “famine” handed them by Hamas propagandists, could barely spare a segment for the widespread protests in Iran.

A year ago, Mark Ruffalo, Billie Eilish, Guy Pearce and scores of other moral ignoramuses were seen wearing red-and-orange pins featuring a hand around a black heart symbol — referencing a Ramallah lynching of two Israeli reservists in 2000 who drove down the wrong street and were literally torn apart by a Palestinian mob, after which one of the murderers deliriously displayed his blood-soaked hands from the window to a cheering throng.

This year, the Golden Globes didn’t feature a single celebrity championing the Iranian people.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

I'm pretty sure the DNC's Hamas wing gets the extended holiday break.

Re: Lefty College Students

I will never forget this hilarious story during the Occupy Wall Street protests. Trust fund babies at UC Berkeley decided to use their high end sleeping bags, tents, etc. They had their iPhones and expensive laptops as well. Everything was kumbaya in the “encampment.” When some of them were going off to protest, they left their very nice sleeping bags and tents. Some of these young skulls full of mush even left their laptops.

When they returned from “making a difference” at the protest, they were shocked that someone took their laptops, their tents, and yes, even their sleeping bags.

The United States is the leftists’ enemy. They support the enemies of the United States because the enemy of their enemy is their friend. That’s why you have Queers for Palestine, “No Kings” leftists supporting the dictator Maduro, and why you won’t have leftists supporting the protestors in Iran.

It’s not hypocrisy. They’re being consistent. They are dishonest about it though.

Following FR tradition, I didn’t read the article before I posted. I did read it afterwards. My post was pretty close to the mark.

Prayers for the brave people of Iran - being rejected by the evil Soros wing of the democrat party is just more proof they’re on the right side of history and worthy of our support.
