What does "Free Iran" mean to the 10s of thousands of political prisoners in Egypt who face similar conditions? What does it mean to the Sudanese under military rule? We *don't* hear impassioned pleas to "free" these places because they are instrumental to Israel's interests!

@aaronpettman I mean, a free Iran doesn't exclude freedom in other places. This is just an antisemetic whataboutism?

@ayeayerobot this sort of accusation of antisemitism is entirely predictable, weaponizing the Jewish identity to silence critics won't change the truth, however. It shouldn't be a radical idea to question why we scream "Free Iran" while a Sudanese military ruler signs agreements with Israel.

@aaronpettman With all due respect, either I'm missing a shit ton of context or this is a non sequitur; e.g. "I don't get why canned oranges are half price on Tuesdays while the steam boat floats along the Mississippi."
