“Free Palestine!”
“Why?”
“Because they’re oppressed by the Jews. We must oppose oppressors.”
“Fair enough. Then free Iran too.”
“What?! No. Why would you say that?”
“Because the Iranian regime also oppresses its own people.”
“So what?”
“But you just said we must oppose oppressors.”
“Not all oppressors. Never a Muslim regime, for God’s sake. What’s wrong with you?”
If you claim to support human rights yet can’t bring yourself to show solidarity with those fighting for their liberty in Iran, you’ve revealed yourself. You don’t give a damn about people being oppressed and brutalised so long as it’s being done by the enemies of your enemies.
