Any Iranian genocide protests on the campuses of our elite institutions?

I figured this would be met with silence but my next question to our academics and leftists would be "why" there are none?

Let it be known that if I am ever asked to weigh in on a particular topic on these boards, I will never not do so.

But my positions are defensible... whereas most leftist lunacy is not. So I get it

Ive asked nicely. Would love our own PHD professor to weigh in why this cause isn't inspiring so much young energy

It is true that there is a certain inconsistency. Genocides in places like Burma, Rwanda, Bosnia never registered on the radar screens of college activists.

So if you want to charge campus activists with inconsistency/hypocrisy/selective outrage you wouldn't be wrong.

My question is WHY the inconsistencies

My question is WHY the inconsistencies

Campus activists tend to be pretty lefty in their politics. With an anti-Israeli streak that has been around for quite some time. But I would say Israel killing over 3% of the Gaza population in the past few years has given them a lot of allies among people who are normally supportive of Israel.

But not a tyrannical Muslim regime slaughtering its own citizens?

Why is one a left cause and the other not?
