- π‘ Masih Alinejad describes the silence of the American and European left and liberal communities regarding the protests in Iran as an ideological silence.
- π― She argues this silence stems from a sympathy with "our killers" and "Islamist terrorists," specifically mentioning the Iranian regime and Hamas.
- π The left's narrative that the hijab is a "sign of resistance" is contrasted with the Iranian women's fight against compulsory veiling.
"Free Palestine" Narrative
- π Alinejad points out the hypocrisy where the left supports "Free Palestine" while remaining silent on the Iranian struggle against the same "Islamist terrorists" that sponsor Hamas.
- β οΈ She clarifies that when Iranians say "Free Palestine," they mean free from groups like Hamas and the Iranian regime.
- π£οΈ The accusation that calls for regime change in Iran are a "foreign plot" is seen as playing directly into the hands of the Islamic Republic.
Dangers of Accusations
- β‘ Accusing the Iranian people's desire for regime change as a "foreign plot" is a death sentence to innocent protesters, according to Alinejad.
- π She references past uprisings in 2009 and 2022, where thousands were killed, highlighting the long-standing desire for an end to the Islamic Republic.
- π¨ The current communication blackout in Iran, with people lacking cell service and internet, is described as a period of "total darkness."
Media and Celebrity Silence
- π€ J.K. Rowling is quoted criticizing those who claim to support human rights but fail to show solidarity with the Iranian people.
- πΊ Alinejad states that not only protesters but also "officialdom" and "mainstream media" are ignoring the cause in Iran.
- π The hate directed by some celebrities and media figures towards leaders like President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu is seen as a reflection of their hate towards the unarmed Iranian protesters.
Historical Judgment
- β³ Alinejad believes that history will judge those who remain silent while unarmed people are killed in Iran.
- π Her bravery and powerful words are recognized and appreciated.
