Iranian-American activist Masih Alinejad has criticized the American left and Western activists for their lack of response to the deadly crackdown on protests in Iran. She argues that their silence is ideological and exposes hypocrisy, especially as thousands of Iranians have reportedly been killed during demonstrations against the regime. Alinejad also condemned Western figures for allegedly aiding the regime by framing the protests as foreign plots, and highlighted the severe communications blackout imposed by Iranian authorities. She warned that history will judge those who fail to support the Iranian people's struggle for freedom.
