Not a Word About Iran

Celebrities and activists live to lecture us about their opinions on the moral issues of the day. If there is some evil they see, they are compelled to make speeches, wear pins, and march in the streets to make their voices heard and to incite others to action. Office of the Iranian Supreme Leader via AP, File So it's no surprise that there was plenty of moral posturing last night at the Golden Globes, which, amazingly, some people actually watch. Since abolishing ICE is the current thing, plenty of people wore pins to make that point. And, of course, the fake "genocide" in Gaza still motivates these idiots; we got plenty of that, too. But not a word or a symbol of support for the millions of Iranians who are risking their lives to free themselves from nearly five decades of theocratic tyranny. I was waiting to hear what Mark Ruffalo would say about the massacre in Iran at the Golden Globes. Last year he and his celebrity friends were pretty vocal about what they called a “genocide” in Gaza during the awards season. - בר שם-אור Bar Shem-Ur (@Bar_ShemUr) But you might be surprised to learn he had nothing to... pic.twitter.com/xsQcZxYZ1H January 12, 2026 But you might be surprised to learn he had nothing to say about Iran.

Iran is the main funder of terrorism in the Middle East, and if Iran falls, so does their dream of destroying Israel and the West. And yet hundreds of UK pols, academics and writers defended and signed letters supporting this dangerous fanatic only a year or so ago, including Corbyn, Chomsky, Ken Loach, Alexei Sayle, Roger Waters, Brian Eno and many more of the usual idiots. - Phil Craig (@philmcraig) January 10, 2026 This man was a Professor at Bristol University. Here he is demanding that the protests in Iran are liquidated, that no leniency is given to the hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of extraordinarily brave people risking their lives to rid themselves of one of the world’s most oppressive regimes. To describe this as psychopathic is an understatement. But he has...
