The Narrative Disconnect

  • πŸ’‘ John Ondrasik questions why the "Free Palestine" movement appears to have "zero interest in freeing Iran," suggesting it doesn't fit their narrative of Israel and America as oppressors.
  • 🎯 He argues that acknowledging the Iranian regime's atrocities would expose the movement as potentially fraudulent.

Iranian Protests and Repression

  • ✊ The Iranian people are described as protesting and dying for basic freedoms, such as the right to appear in public without a headscarf and economic stability.
  • ⚠️ Unlike some Palestinian calls for the destruction of Israel, the Iranian protests are characterized as not calling for the deaths of others.

Global Condemnation and Media Coverage

  • 🚫 Ondrasik notes the lack of UN resolutions condemning Iran, contrasting it with the focus on UNRWA.
  • πŸ“Ί He observes a "woke Free Palestine infection" affecting media, Hollywood, and other organizations, delaying coverage of Iranian protests.

Protester Motivations and Calls to Action

  • πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Protests against Israeli actions often call for the US to stop military support or for universities to divest from Israel.
  • ❓ In contrast, if protesters supported Iran, it's unclear what they would call for, as the US already sanctions Iran and universities don't invest there.

Moral Imperative and Hamas Criticism

  • ❀️ Basic freedom is presented as a universal moral message worth supporting, akin to the struggles of Afghan women, Ukrainians, and Jewish communities under siege.
  • ❓ Ondrasik challenges pro-Palestinian protesters by asking why they haven't called out Hamas for using Gazans as human shields or for their human rights abuses against their own people.
  • πŸ’₯ He points to instances where Hamas allegedly executed Gazans who were tired of the organization, with no apparent outcry from "Free Palestine" supporters or Hollywood.
