Masih Alinejad is an Iranian journalist and activist, based now in America.
I’ve posted about her going back to 2010, see here. It seems I’ve always called her a “brave Iranian woman”. Indeed she is, a bravery she shares with all Iranian women.
She was most recently on CNN giving the host, Dana Bash, conniptions for being so gloriously happy at the killing of the Ayatollah and 48 of his co-thugs.
CNN have scrubbed their clip, it seems, but here’s Masih calling it a “day of celebration” on CBS.
A celebration, a happiness she shares with millions of her compatriots around the world. And on the streets of Iran.
In her X post below, she has a go at Elizabeth Warren for hypocrisy. Western liberal women have failed to support women in the Middle East, because … well… kind of “who knows”, except that they were not in the hated, misogynist, imperialist, racist America and so “you can’t pass judgement”. Or something.
Masih’s post:
I’m not just angry. I’m furious with you Elizabeth Warren.
Stop using the suffering of my people as political ammunition against Donald Trump.
You say you are grieving for those killed in this “unnecessary war.”
Really? I checked your social media. More than 20 posts attacking President Trump after he removed a monster terrorist of Iran, Ali Khamenei, but not one post grieving the massacre of more than 32,000 unarmed Iranian people. Why? Shocking.
More than 10,000 protesters were intentionally blinded by security forces. Young women were shot in the eyes. Students were beaten to death. Families were burying their children. Where were you then?
We are not a tool. The pain of us Iranians is not a talking point for your partisan battles.
As a woman, your silence while women in Iran were being shot, jailed, and blinded is more than disappointing. It is insulting. No it is beyond that. It is a slap in the face of Iranian mothers burying their children who have been killed by Islamic Republic.
I cannot ignore this hypocrisy.
Our suffering did not fit your narrative. Our voices were inconvenient. Now that the situation serves your political agenda, you speak loudly.
Very heartbreaking to see, powerful women in the West totally ignoring Iranians being slaughtered. 💔
