WASHINGTON /January 10, 2026 / BPALiveWire - Where are the No-Kings protesters now? Where are the pink-hat-wearing women’s rights activists now? Where are those over-educated double-decaf-mocha-latte-sipping $7-coffee-guzzling internet warriors now? We’re searching high and low for those over-entitled under-educated Ivy League college kids who stormed buildings and wrecked property over Gaza but haven’t said boo diddly about the Iranians chanting “Death to the dictator” and demanding the return of their exiled leaders. The silence is deafening.

The uprising in Iran that erupted in late December 2025 over economic collapse has exploded into nationwide demands for regime change with protests in all 31 provinces and over 100 cities. Security forces have killed dozens while imposing internet blackouts to hide the crackdown. Iranian women and youth lead the charge reviving “Woman Life Freedom” chants against a regime that executes gays enforces hijab laws and stifles speech. Yet the activists who flooded streets and campuses for Gaza remain absent with no occupations, no hashtags, no outrage.

Iran’s anti-Israel stance and support for proxies like Hamas make criticism inconvenient for pro-Palestine crowds. Western media frames the unrest as economic rather than a human rights crisis offering far less coverage than Gaza received. This selective fury reveals performative activism at work. True champions of women’s rights gay rights and free speech would rally for all victims, not just those fitting the narrative.

When the agenda casts anti-Israel forces as heroes these fake warriors stand exposed as wallflowers abandoning universal justice for partisan convenience and leaving brave Iranians to fight alone.
