Iranian-Americans Call Out Hollywood for Their Silence

While brave Iranians are dodging bullets in the streets fighting for their freedom, Hollywood’s finest were dodging responsibility on the red carpet. The Golden Globes came and went—another glittery, self-congratulatory circus full of empty virtue-signaling—but not a single word was uttered about Iran by our liberal elites. Not one. You’d think with all the sashes, pins, and moral grandstanding, someone might take a second to mention the actual massacre playing out right now in the streets of Tehran. But no. Apparently, you only get a celebrity hashtag if your struggle fits the Left’s chosen narrative.

Mark Ruffalo, known more for his Twitter rants than acting these days, had plenty to say last year about what he called a “genocide” in Gaza. But when it comes to the actual slaughter of Iranians begging for democracy? Crickets. Not even a whimper from the Hollywood elite. Instead, they wore pins protesting ICE—because nothing screams bravery like whining about border enforcement from behind a velvet rope guarded by private security.

One actress, Hana Einbinder, did wear a pin for Palestine—again—despite the fact there’s currently a ceasefire in Gaza. Clueless or careless, take your pick. Meanwhile, Iranians are facing down theocratic thugs with live ammunition, and these celebrities can’t even spare a word. Are they ashamed of themselves? Doubtful. They’re too busy trying to outdo each other in performative wokeness.

This silence isn’t just embarrassing—it’s revealing. Iran is the godfather of terror in the Middle East. It funds Hamas, Hezbollah, and every other group that wants to wipe Israel off the map. But the radical Left doesn’t care. In fact, they kind of like that. Iran hates the West, hates capitalism, hates Christianity, and wants to dismantle everything that makes America great. So for the Left, the regime’s crimes against its own people are just collateral damage in the broader war against Western “imperialism.”

And let’s not forget how we got here. Barack Obama sent literal pallets of cash to Iran. Billions. In the dead of night. Joe Biden carried on that legacy, trying to revive the disastrous Iran Deal while Iran funneled those Obama bucks into rockets and militias. Now, as the regime teeters and the Iranian people risk everything for liberty, Democrats are nowhere to be found. Their silence is not just cowardice—it’s complicity.

And it’s not just Hollywood. The radical Left is out there defending Iran’s regime, sometimes openly. In the UK, a former Bristol professor called for the Iranian protests to be “liquidated.” That’s right—he wants the most oppressive regime on Earth to crack down harder on its own people who want freedom. Why? Because it’s not about freedom or human rights. It’s about power. If a government hates Israel, hates the West, and hates capitalism, it gets a pass—no matter how many people it tortures, kills, or oppresses.

Thousands of Iranians are dying for a chance at freedom, and the American Left is cheering for the very regime that’s killing them. Meanwhile, they accuse conservatives of being “authoritarian” for wanting secure borders and safe streets. The hypocrisy is not just staggering—it’s dangerous.

Now, as the Iranian regime starts to fall apart, watch closely. Some Democrats will suddenly find their voices—but only to compare Donald Trump to Iran’s Supreme Leader. That’s the new narrative they’re drafting: that Trump cracking down on violent Antifa rioters is just like Iran mowing down democracy protesters. It’s obscene.

America’s Left has shown us once again that their compass doesn’t point north—it points toward whatever undermines this country and its values. Iranians are crying out for liberty, and the Left is plugging its ears. Because in their worldview, freedom only matters when it serves their revolution.
