If the “Quds Day” protests showed anything it was that the Iranian population is sick and tired of the Palestinian issue being used as a toll of oppression by the IRI against them. It was also a message to the regime and its supporters, a lot of whom we see on this site beating their chests for Palestine. And the message is this: We don’t care! We want freedom first. Then we can talk about Palestine.
So why don’t you pack it up and find a better way of scaring people into submission? It just doesn’t work anymore. The Palestinian issue is for Arabs to resolve. It has nothing to do with us. You can try to connect the issue to the uprising is Iran, but the two are like oil and water, they don’t mix. And the Iranian people sent you a message to that effect loud and clear when they ripped up Hezbollah posters on the streets and chanted “Marg bar Roosieh” instead of “marg bar Israel”.
Not that the Palestinians don’t have legitimate grievances with Israel, but WTF? Why do we have to be the sacrificial lambs for this issue? Let the Arabs and the Israelis duke it out, and let the best side win.
