To the human rights activists that can't make up their minds about the current situation:
Speaking up for Iran does not negate or contradict all your efforts for Gaza. It's the same thing. It's standing up for human rights. Oh, one is supporting muslims and the other is against islam so they must be opposing matters? No. The world is not clear cut black and white. Supporting people of Gaza doesn't mean that if you speak against islamic extremists you would automatically be speaking against Gaza. Supporting Iranian people who are tired of being oppressed under the rule of islamic republic doesn't mean you're betraying Gaza or supporting Netanyahu's horrific actions. You can be happy that Venezuelans are rid of their dictator president and worry about US taking advantage of the country at the same time. If Trump and people like him tweet about supporting Iranian people, that doesn't discredit our revolution. It just means certain powerful people want to exploit the situation, as always. (And you know what, we're fighting with bare hands so we take any help we can get. If Trump offers to take out the dictator we will take it. We have no other choice if everyone decides to keep silent just because the situation is complicated!) I truly wish everything was as simple as you think. But you know, you know life is never as straightforward as that. You can stand up for the right of Persians to wish and fight this bloodthirsty regime gone while supporting people of Gaza that are being killed, while also speaking against the atrocities that Hamas is committing.
Religion is a weapon, it's what you do with it that determines if you're good or bad, not the weapon itself.
Supporting what is right doesn't always look the same. It's not always taking the same route. You should know that.
You should know that.
