Why Doesn’t the Left Care About the Iranian Protesters Who Were Slaughtered by the Mullahs?
3rd May 2026
It’s not true that the Left doesn’t have guiding principles. One of the most influential is “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” America and Israel are the enemy; therefore Hamas and the current Iranian regime are the friends because they share the same enemies. Iran calls the US “The Great Satan” and Israel “The Little Satan.” There really couldn’t be more of a mind-meld between the Left and the Iranian leaders than that. Everything else is secondary or lower.
The left pretends to be for “the people” – but it’s the case only if the people are on the same side of an issue as the left. If the people choose wrongly, screw the people. One example of this is the left’s constant attempts to take down the duly-elected Trump, whether through assassination or impeachment or lies. The people of Israel can be raped and murdered or even blown to bits by a nuclear weapon, and according to the left they had it coming and will have had it coming.
And so the left is able to ignore the brutal Iranian regime’s killing of its own protesters. The left is aware that, were the protesters to win their battle, the Iranian people would almost certainly be grateful to none other than the oppressor Trump and The Great Satan the US, not to mention The Little Satan Israel.
Can’t have that.
