Just curious…where are the world wide protesters in all this? Where is Greta T? When there was the war in Gaza, there were protesters everywhere. Blocking traffic, waving flags, yelling, occupying, threatening, counter protesting…There was not a day without protest in support of Gaza, protest against Israel…Is this last part the key? There is no Israel involvement here so no protester is interested.
Hamas was funded by Iran.
You do the math
The Arab states and more importantly Israel both asked for restraint.
We currently don’t have the assets positioned for a sustained campaign and unfortunately only 3 of 11 carrier strike groups are deployed at the moment
The silent majority of rational non fanatical people know the answer to this question.
Radical lefties got played and manipulated to mask an anti Israel campaign by Qatar and Iran using the Palestine propaganda. This doesn’t fit their narrative so all radical lefties have been told to stay quiet.
Just look to our local anti Israel members in this forum, haven’t seen them in this discussion.
But, the second Israel intervenes (which many Persians secretly pray for) then Greta and her minions will go ballistic. They don’t care about civilians dying, these are really sick people.
An interesting question that is. First I don’t agree with @windywave. Hamas funding was not the source for outside demonstrations in support of the Palestinians and a Palestinian statehood. One could offer that there will always be an anti Israeli or anti-semitic element coupled with a pro Arab or Palestinian element in play there.
As for Iran and where is the outside support or why are there not more outside demonstrations for their movement, my guess is that it is because this is a “blue on blue” fight. It is mostly an internal squabble between brothers of the same religion and culture. The Persian diaspora is far different than the Palestinian diaspora. Maybe wealth of the diaspora plays.
Leastwise that is my take.

So, are we to assume you are rational and non fanatical (sic)?
Who is the person that has told “all radical lefties” to stay quiet?
Multiple organizations and people. I believe I shared in the other thread the link of the documentary of the spy that infiltrated the Gaza flotilla mess, watch it and judge for yourself. It is evident based on her video and audio recordings that they are working with and funding the actual terrorists. It also really shows how sick and antisemitic these lefty activists really are (i.e. bunch of them talking about nuking/murdering millions of jews) There is another source that provides evidence that some rich tech bro with radical left views supported various of the US protests.
There’s a reasonably neutral article that outlines several possible explanations for the vocal Left’s laryngitis published in The Atlantic today.
another very good explainer here
Ummm…ok…I noticed. And payed attention. What now?
We now have a carrier group in the area…Growlers deployed to the middle east … battle management and signals intelligence aircraft in theater … F15Es forward deployed…and the F35s used over Venezuela have now departed heading east…Odds of a strike keep going up and up
Yeah, I’m assuming this is not a show of force. It’s going to happen.
Can you tell me what institution you think these people should be protesting to change their policy towards Iran?
The exact same logic when you guys were doing your anti Israel protests. But it is obvious that anti Iran regime protests for doing actual genocide on their people is not in the Hamas /radical left alliance agenda. Has anyone heard from Greta these days?
So you want people to protest at universities to have their endowments first from investments in Iran?
How many US university endowments have investments in Iran?
If not the endowments what policies of US universities towards Iran do you think they should be protesting?
You clearly think there is some policy here.
