Why Does the Free Palestine Crowd Seem to Have NO INTEREST in Freeing Iran?

Many people have noticed how the Free Palestine movement has been eerily silent during the Iranian freedom movement. Memes have suddenly sprouted up about how notorious Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, who is often loud and open about revolutions, is suddenly completely silent during one of the largest freedom movements in the world.

Why? Well, there are three main reasons.

The first reason is spiritual.

The Free Palestine movement is not for freedom, democracy, human rights or any of the other things they often chant in the streets. They are after power. Spiritual power. An anti-Christ spirit is at the root of this unholy alliance where militant LGBTQ movements and radical Islam come together as one.

The Free Palestinian Movement can be confusing because, at least in the west, it is most often associated with protestors who support a militant version of LGBTQ beliefs, Marxist ideology (which is atheistic in nature), and gender dysphoria. At first glance, all of these attributes are diametrically opposed to the extreme form of Islam practiced in Palestine, but upon a closer look of these two opposing movements, there is a spiritual element that brings the entire picture into better focus.

There is also another, more practical reason and that is that Palestine and Iran are historically connected.

The Free Palestine movement paints themselves as a group that stands for decolonization and human rights, but one cannot advocate for the people of Iran if they are looking to shake off the shackles of the same slave master that looks to enslave Palestine. Iran is occupied by the largest imperialists in the world today – Islam. And these are the same colonizers who look to enslave all of Palestine.

Palestine literally means the “Land of the Philistines” and according to ancient Egyptian records, Biblical records and DNA evidence, the ethnic Philistines were European, not Arabic, most likely from the Greek Islands of Crete. However, the land of modern-day Palestine, known as the Levant, was invaded by Islam and like all nations invaded by Islamic armies, the inhabitants were forced to convert and speak the Arabic language in prayer and worship.

The same fate was shared by the Persians of Iran. Iran was never a Muslim country, but like the Levant, they were invaded by Islamic armies who raped, pillaged and killed and forced them into the slavery of Islam. Both Palestine and Iran are occupied by Islamic colonialists.

Lastly, Iran and Palestine are connected financially, politically, and militarily.

Iran funds Hamas and helped fund the war in Gaza. It is estimated that Iran sends an annual amount of $70 million to $100 million a year to Hamas. Iran has also supplied Hamas with weapons and the technology to manufacture its own weapons, including rockets with increasing range and sophistication. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has provided training and logistical help, including expertise in tunnel warfare, a tactic extensively used by Hamas in Gaza.

In like manner, the Palestinians started the Islamic Republic of Iran – supporting the Islamic Revolution in 1979. The Theocratic Islamic dictator that we see in Iran today? Was put in place by the Palestinians, financially supported by the Palestinians, and even trained by the Palestinians.

In his book, JIHAD THE DAY I DIED, Brother Abdull, an Iranian Christian, shares about his time as a soldier under the Shah. He was ordered to guard the streets of Iran during the Islamic Revolution, but unlike the Ayatollahs of today, he was forbidden to shoot any protestors.

“The rapidly growing mob was becoming more antagonizing by the minute, and we had no orders to tell us what to do if we were attacked other than not to shoot. The order not to shoot was an easy one to keep. No one gave me any bullets for my service rifle, but I was wishing they had. I could hear gunfire from a nearby street. Someone had ammunition, but it wasn’t me. I felt trapped. We all did. We could hear gunfire. We could taste the choking stench of thick, black smoke rising into the dense, late-afternoon air. We could feel the searing heat from the American flags burning and the torched tires of someone’s overturned car. I could see the rage of violence in the eyes of the young men all around me. They were the angry shouts of bearded, Islamic followers, just like the ones following my grandfather and uncle.”

Brother Abdull was confused by the order not to shoot. He knew that the Iranian Army could have squashed the protests in a short amount of time, but said, “In fact, it was under the Shah’s direct command that I was given the order not to shoot any protestors. It was a direct order from him that I was not allowed to have any ammunition for my weapon. I understood the idea in theory, but in practice, standing there vulnerable on the street in the heat of the protests made me desperately desire bullets. The protestors didn’t know that my rifle was empty, but they didn’t care. They were growing more aggressive, and they could see we were not responding.”

So if the soldiers were not killing the protestors during the 1979 riots, then who was shooting? Brother Abdull gives first hand experience when he shares, “During our training, we were briefed about the Iranian rebels who were training in Lebanon with the Palestinians. A 1977 US intelligence assessment reported on the weapon systems that the Iranians were smuggling into the country from joint training with Palestinians. It seemed Palestinian snipers were shooting protestors to agitate the crowds and gain international support and sympathy for the ayatollahs. It worked.”

Brother Abdull further noted in his book, “The first person officially invited for a state visit was Yassar Arafat. Yassar Arafat, the former leader of the PLO, is called the ‘fathers of modern day terrorism and he declared that he was coming to his “own home” because of the aid he provided to help overthrow the Shah.”

So if it is confusing why there is so much silence from the Free Palestine movement in regards to Iran, it is because the same evil that fights against Israel is the same evil that supports the tyrannical regime in power in Iran.
