You don't have to support military intervention to pay attention. People supported Palestine without wanting to bomb Israel.

Also... Are the executed protesters not also death and suffering? What about victims and conflicts resulting from the groups Iran funds?





The problem is, I really do believe any kind of mass support for the Iranian protesters will in fact be co-opted to start a war with Iran--at least at this particular moment in time.

And the executed protesters are a bad thing. But I don't think military intervention will lead to a better outcome.

Supporters of Palestine had pretty specific requests, none of which apply to Iran (conditioning weapons sales, divestment, etc...)


You're the one certain about military intervention. I just want them to keep pressuring a regime that's killing it's own people.
