An Iranian tells you why the anti-brain Free Palestine mob is not calling to Free Iran: hey keep asking the same question: Why are lefties—why are the loudest pro-Gaza voices—completely silent when it comes to Iran? Well, the answer is simple: because the truth exposes the lie. Because acknowledging Iran would shatter the ideological fantasy that they've built. Let's be clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is not a victim of Western imperialism. It is a theocratic authoritarian regime that survives by exporting violence, funding Islamists, and crushing its own people. And yes, it funds Hamas, it funds Hezbollah, it funds all the little proxies around the region and around the world with Iranian people's money—not the government’s money, not the regime’s money—stolen money, stolen money taken from the worker who cannot afford bread in Iran right now. Families crushed by inflation, taken from women who are beaten, jailed, tortured, raped for refusing religious obedience. And this is why lefties are silent: because Hamas fits their narrative, but Iranian people don’t. Because Islamist violence against Israelis can be reframed as resistance, but Islamist violence against Iranians exposes the truth. Right now Iran, a country of more than 92 million people, is being erased in real time. Near total blackout, no internet, no call services, no connectivity whatsoever. And yet, silence. No emergency protests on Western campuses, no hashtags, no solidarity statements, no megaphones, no tears. Because Iranian suffering does not fit their agenda. Because leftist movements today are not driven by human rights, they are driven by selective outrage and ideological loyalty. They will scream about censorship unless it’s done by an Islamist regime. They will condemn state violence unless it’s wrapped in religious language. They will chant “Free Palestine” but they will never say “Free Iran” because that would require admitting something unforgivable: that political Islam is not liberation, it is domination. And that is exactly what’s been happening in the West by the way—that the Islamic Republic is not anti-imperialist, it is imperial toward its own people. That Hamas is not some isolated resistance group, it is part of a broader Islamist ecosystem that is funded, trained, and sustained by regimes like the Islamic Republic in Iran. And here’s the part that they do not want to hear: you cannot claim moral superiority while excusing a regime that kills and murders women for refusing hijab, executes protesters, cuts off a whole nation of 92 million people from the internet, and uses foreign proxies as a distraction from its internal collapse. You cannot pretend to care about Palestinians while ignoring Iranians being shot, tortured, and murdered by the Islamic Republic in Iran. That is not solidarity—that is ideological blindness. Iranian people are not silent, they are being silenced. And the silence from the Western left? Well, that’s a choice. A choice to protect an ideology, a choice to excuse Islamism, a choice to look away when millions of people are suffering because their suffering, Iranian people’s suffering, complicates a slogan. History will remember this moment. It will remember who spoke for universal freedom and who decided that some lives matter less than preserving a narrative. Long live Iran."
