Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s sudden expressions of concern for Iranian protesters would be laughable if they were not so obscene. A leader presiding over the mass killing, starvation, and collective punishment of civilians in Gaza now claims moral outrage over the suffering of Iranian civilians. This is not solidarity—it is propaganda dressed up as compassion.
You cannot bomb refugee camps, flatten hospitals, impose siege, and starve an entire population, then shed crocodile tears for human rights elsewhere. You cannot invoke the language of freedom while practicing collective punishment and annihilation. History is unambiguous: leaders responsible for large-scale civilian death and humanitarian catastrophe forfeit any claim to moral authority.
Iranian protesters deserve genuine international support rooted in universal human rights—not exploitation by foreign leaders seeking to launder their own crimes. Their struggle is not a public-relations tool to be weaponized against political enemies while identical or worse abuses are carried out at home.
This grotesque double standard exposes a deeper truth: some lives are treated as sacred, others as disposable. That hierarchy fuels impunity and endless war. Until the same standards are applied to Gaza as to Tehran, such proclamations will remain what they are—cynical hypocrisy, plain and damning.
