According to Campus Reform, “Socialist and pro-Palestine student groups rallied Monday at Arizona State University to protest U.S. military action involving Iran, drawing pushback from Iranian students who said the activists misrepresented the views and experiences of the country’s people.”
This anti American protest was lead by ASU Students for Justice in Palestine, United Campus Workers Arizona, and the Phoenix chapter of the Party for Socialism and Liberation.
The framing of the protest was misleading saying in their joint statement the protest as an opposition to “corporate greed” and “endless war,”.
They added that “students have always been at the forefront of past anti-war movements.”
The groups were accused of deleting comments from members in support of The US operation.
Eventually the groups disabled the commenting opportunities.
“The ASU Iranian Students Association organized a counter-protest following the campus demonstration, writing in a March 2 Instagram post that the “Iranian people have been in conflict with their own government for over 47 years, suffering repression, crackdowns, and human rights abuses.”
“The organization stated that its members would “make clear that the Iranian people stand with the United States and for human rights, accountability, and peace.”
”For over four decades, the Iranian people have lived under a dictatorship, facing a lack of basic freedoms and violent crackdowns for speaking out against their government.”
She also said “Most of our members strongly support greater international pressure and accountability toward the Iranian regime, which has brutally oppressed its own people and contributed to violence affecting Americans as well,” Azimi of The ASU Iranian Students Association continued.
Its unclear if there were any rule violations by collaberating with organizations such as Phoenix Party for Socialism and Liberation.
The ASU Media Affairs division cited the University’s free speech policies in defending this rally.
While many people may disagree to going to war with Iran and many would support the efforts of The Trump administration against The Iranian regime, supporting the Iranian regime against America is a uniquely leftist take.
The Socialist groups are using deceptive language to promote pro Iranian regime propaganda.
