A fiery street interview is going viral online after a self-described liberal activist abruptly ended a conversation when confronted with uncomfortable questions about the Iranian regime—and the glaring silence from many Western activists about its brutality.
The exchange featured Younes Sadaghiani, who partnered with the YouTube channel Street Smart to interview students at King’s College London. Sadaghiani posed a pointed question that many critics say exposes a double standard in modern activist politics: Why do so many Western “social justice” campaigners speak loudly about Palestine but rarely protest the violent repression of the Iranian people?
