Why Were You Silent

Peloni: Consider the reality that, as you listen to Hillel Neuer’s polemic against the silence supporting the Mullahs in Iran that the death tolls are rising and reports of upto 20-40,000 dead Iranian protestors are now being shared outside the deafening silence from the media, from the celebrities, and from the ‘peace’ activists.

I said to UNHRC: “We ask the U.N., the media, celebrities, campus activists: why are you silent? The answer is uncomfortable but clear. The Iran protest movement shatters a cherished narrative. A people rising against Islamist tyranny does not fit the ideology—so it is ignored.” pic.twitter.com/HkBm0EnqWY
