    They didn’t care when the Iranians killed tens of thousands either.

    Seems they are quite self absorbed in general.

        35% still are in on the USA Iran war, they elected a rapist con man (and more) Twice.

        What proof do you need?

      Do you have an actual reliable source for the “tens of thousands” claim? Not saying they weren’t killing protesters, but I’ve yet to see a single reputable source claim it was that high.

          As of 25 January 2026, the total death toll estimates ranged from 3,117 people to upwards of ~36,500 people,[3][4][7]

                So you dispute it. There are 250 references in the wikipedia link, but I guess your tankie friends has some magic better truth eh. But what a shitty thing to say, trying to reduce mass murder by a dictatorial regime to a numbers battle.
