The modern news cycle unfortunately lends itself to short-term memory when it comes to mass tragedies. But we cannot forget that in Iran, freedom protesters are still being executed and up to 20,000 protestors’ corpses are lying mutilated in morgues.
The executions and crackdowns are not over, and the tragic aftermath of the massacres will continue for a long time. What is most heartbreaking is that world governments, including America's, refused to intervene, to strike the terrorist Islamic regime in Iran, or in any other significant way to help the Persian people. While world leaders gather in the luxury of Davos to plan how to reward Palestinian terrorists with a multi-billion-dollar rebuild of Gaza, the heaps of Persian corpses lie forgotten.

The New York Post highlighted the heinous scale of the Iranian regime's brutal backlash to the protests:
Leaked photos from an Iranian mortuary show the battered and swollen faces of at least 326 victims, including 18 women, who were killed during the bloody crackdown on protesters — with a United Nations human rights expert warning that the total death toll may exceed 20,000.
Verified pictures from the Kahrizak Forensic Medical Center in Tehran show the individual bodies of the brutalized citizens, whose ages ranged from 12 to 70 years old…The images were taken so the dead could be identified by their families, with many relatives finding it difficult to clearly identify them due to the graphic injuries.

In America and the rest of the West, citizens have an extremely troublesome flaw of ignoring genocides that are not constantly pounded into our heads by prominent politicians and media outlets, particularly if the slaughters happen in Asia and Africa. We all seem to operate on the assumption that it doesn't much matter if genocide is being inflicted on Asians and Africans — Palestinians always excepted, of course. The genocide of Nigerian Christians has garnered a little attention recently, but aside from Donald Trump's Christmas strike on ISIS there it has attracted very little aid.

That's also why scarcely any Americans know that multiple towns in Israel lie in ruins from Hamas and Hezbollah attacks and that more than two years after the Oct. 7 atrocities, kibbutzim are still trying to rebuild. How galling it must be for Israeli victims of terrorism to know that the Gazans who attacked them are receiving a fancy rebuild courtesy of Western and Muslim nations, while they cannot scrape together the resources to rebuild! Especially since many Hamas and Palestinian Authority leaders are multi-millionaires who are never expected to clean up the messes they create.
When was the last time you heard about the Uyghur genocide in China or the genocide of Druze and Christians in Syria? Where are the marches in support of Congolese Christians or Cambodian and Thai civilians under constant threat of violence? Where are the aid campaigns for Kurdish civilians or North Korean political prisoners? Why is it that only the "Palestinians," 80% of whom still support jihad, ever receive lavish aid?
Do not forget the Iranian freedom fighters — and don't let our politicians forget them, either.
