I don't see anyone protest like that for Ukraine, or the Uighur population in China, do you know why?

Because of anything Iran is doing, no.

But rather, and very simply because their own government (and to some extent their colleges directly, via their endowment funds) is/are supporting the genocide in Palestine, while at least doing something about the other 2. That, and because Palestine resonates with their social justice narratives, and "strikes a chord" with them ideologically and psychologically in a certain way that the other 2 genocides do not. You can make of this fixation what you want. But by all indications -- those are the drivers.

Nothing whatsoever to do with Iran. And it's really very straightforward actually.

Don't let yourself be bamboozled by scare stories in National Review, please.

It wasn't an opinion, it was an observation.
