The author contrasts the rapid Iranian death toll with the slower civilian toll in the Israel-Hamas conflict and asks why there are no comparable campus demonstrations. He offers five linked explanations: (1) the modern left supposedly hates Israel as a symbol of Western values; (2) left-wing anti-Semitism, traced back to Marx, biases responses; (3) leftism is portrayed as driven by envy, resentment and anger; (4) a pragmatic &#8220;red\/Green&#8221; alliance tolerates Islamic actors because both oppose Westernism; and (5) these attitudes are cast in spiritual terms as manifestations of satan or the &#8220;Spirit of Antichrist.&#8221; The article concludes that pro-Palestinian protests were never primarily about saving lives but about fomenting hatred against Jews.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>If over the last two weeks Iran had been killing civilians at the rate Israel did during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/prager-the-middle-east-dispute-is-about-religion-not-land\/\" title=\"PRAGER: The Middle East Dispute Is About Religion, Not Land\">recent war<\/a> with Hamas, around 475 Iranian civilians should be dead right now, just over two weeks into the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, CBS is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/iran-protest-death-toll-over-12000-feared-higher-video-bodies-at-morgue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reporting<\/a> 12,000 civilian deaths (with one source going as high as 20,000).<\/p>\n<p>In the Israel-Hamas War, it took Israel just under 13 months to reach that <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >civilian death toll<\/a> (or 5 months, if you believe Hamas&rsquo; figures, which I do not). And again, it took Iran just two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>So why all the silence? Where are the college protesters that we saw the instant Israel defended itself?<\/p>\n<p>At least a handful of them would admit that, of the Palestinians killed, a few were militants, if not outright terrorists. In Iran, however, none of those killed have been militants. They&rsquo;re all civilians being mowed down by machine guns.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} else { \t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() { \t\t\t\t\tfunction loadScript(src) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst script=document.createElement(\"script\"); \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.src=src; \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.async=true; \t\t\t\t\t\tdocument.body.appendChild(script); \t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\tfunction findPreviousParagraph(selector, x) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst targetElement=document.querySelector(selector); \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!targetElement) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Target element not found.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Get all <\/p>\n<p> elements in order as they appear in the document \t\t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphs=Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(\"p\"));  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the index of the last <\/p>\n<p> before the target element \t\t\t\t\t\tlet targetIndex=paragraphs.findIndex(p=> p.compareDocumentPosition(targetElement) & Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING);  \t\t\t\t\t\tif (targetIndex===-1 || targetIndex <x) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Not enough paragraphs before the target element.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\treturn paragraphs[targetIndex - x]; \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Set up IntersectionObserver \t\t\t\t\tfunction observeElement(element) { \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!element) return;  \t\t\t\t\t\tconst observer=new IntersectionObserver( \t\t\t\t\t\t\t(entries)=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tentries.forEach(entry=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tif (entry.isIntersecting) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.log(\"Paragraph is now visible:\", entry.target.textContent.trim()); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloadScript(\"https:\/\/embed.sendtonews.com\/player3\/embedcode.js?fk=s28Az7AY\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.disconnect(); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t}, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t{ threshold: 0.5 } \/\/ Adjust threshold as needed \t\t\t\t\t\t);  \t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.observe(element); \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the 1st paragraph before #stnvideo and observe it \t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphToObserve=findPreviousParagraph(\"#stnvideo\", 2); \t\t\t\t\tobserveElement(paragraphToObserve); \t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>So why the apathy? Here are a few quick reasons, which all turn out to be related.<\/p>\n<p>First, the modern left hates Israel (despite it being seriously left-leaning socially) because the modern left hates Westernism and human flourishing, and Israel is the embodiment of both of those things in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>Second, there are no Jews doing any of the killing. The left is wildly anti-Semitic, going all the way back to Marx. Remember his essay on &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/archive\/marx\/works\/1844\/jewish-question\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Jewish Question<\/a>&ldquo;? And what about Marx&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/marxists.architexturez.net\/archive\/marx\/works\/1862\/letters\/62_07_30a.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">infamous comment<\/a> about Jewish German philosopher Ferdinand Lassalle, where Marx appropriated and then fused the n-word ever so gently with the word &ldquo;Jewish&rdquo;? Anti-Semitism is embedded in leftism&rsquo;s DNA.<\/p>\n<p>Third, and relatedly, leftism is a sort of policy worldview built on envy, resentment, anger, and hate.<\/p>\n<p>Jewish people are the ultimate targets of all four of those attributes, because they simply perform better as a group at all of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/iran-killed-as-many-civilians-in-2-weeks-as-israel-did-in-13-months-heres-why-those-leftist-protesters-are-nowhere-to-be-found\/\" title=\"Iran ... as Many Civilians in 2 ... as ... Did in 13 Months - Here&#039;s Why Those Leftist Protesters Are Nowhere to Be Found\">enterprises humanity presently values<\/a> most &mdash; business, science\/medicine, and law. When hunting mammoths was all the rage, they wouldn&rsquo;t have done that great. But these days? They&rsquo;re unstoppable (though they have struggled a bit in the Democratic Party recently &mdash; just ask Josh Shapiro). This means they&rsquo;re convenient objects of envy, resentment, anger, and hatred of everyone they beggar.<\/p>\n<p>Fourth, the Iranians are fighting <em>against<\/em> Islam, and the Red\/Green Alliance doesn&rsquo;t like that one bit, no sir. By the way, do you know why the Reds actually tolerate Greens? Because Greens (Islam) also hate Westernism and human flourishing.<\/p>\n<p><em>That&rsquo;s<\/em> what Red and Green have in common. Both want to destroy civilization. It&rsquo;s just that a bunch of the Reds don&rsquo;t understand that&rsquo;s where their ideology is dragging us all.<\/p>\n<p>Fifth, and definitively, the envy, resentment, anger, and hate that underpin leftism are the emotional manifestations of the spirit of Satan himself. I tend to call it the Spirit of Antichrist; Jordan Peterson would call it the Spirit of Cain.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever you call it, it is the motivated spirit of Satan. And if you&rsquo;re God&rsquo;s chosen people, which the Jews are, you are the most appealing target in the known universe.<\/p>\n<p>Those five intertwined reasons are why the campuses are quiet, and there are no die-ins, no bloody shirts, no campus shutdowns, no campouts, no nothing for these Iranians.<\/p>\n<p>The silence on American campuses regarding what&rsquo;s happening in Iran right now proves beyond a doubt that the &ldquo;Pro-Palestinian Protests&rdquo; were never about saving lives. They were only ever about churning up hatred against Jews.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
