“In what capacity have you distorted the story to make the Islamic Republic of Iran the victim?” Elica Le Bon, Iranian-American lawyer and popular TikToker, is bashing Iran and its clueless Muslim and far-left sympathizers in America clamoring for war with Israel while exhibiting ‘fetishization’ of Palestinian suffering.
NY Post The influencer then also raked Tehran apologists over the coals for supporting the attack on Israel while turning a blind eye to the mass protests led by Iranian women demanding reforms at home — some who have been jailed or killed for their activism.
When we were screaming that they were killing Iranian women for not wearing a hijab, where were you?” Le Bon demands to know in the video, which has gone viral with more than 1 million views. “When they were lynching Iranian gay men from cranes for being gay, where were you? When we were explaining that it’s a terrorist occupying force, where were you?” said the lawyer, who has 300,000 followers.
“But all of a sudden everyone’s graduated from Instagram school of law to say that it’s a violation of international law and Iran has the right to defend itself,” she seethed.
Le Bon, who has used her online clout to combat Iranian propaganda and disinformation, blasted supporters of the Iranian regime who were in favor of its drone and missile attack on Israel on Saturday. The lawyer insisted that what Iran’s hardliner theocratic government does “is not a reflection of the Iranian people. “Iranians don’t want war with Israel,’’ Le Bon said. “We want peace with Israel. Iranian people inside of Iran have come out and said this over, and over and over again.’’
Le Bon further argued that far from being the victim, Iran was the aggressor responsible for creating Hamas and Hezbollah, as well as the Houthis in Yemen, for the sole purpose of destabilizing the region.

This is a very intelligent lady and she mentions something that has been long forgotten. Before the idiot peanut farmer ripped the Shah of Iran from the seat of power in Tehran, Iran had been a very strong all partner of Israel.
Elica Le Bon’s statement concerning the American system of governing used to be expressed quiet often as she said that we may not have a perfect system, it is still the best in the world and I pray that the American people will keep that in mind when things do not go politically the way they wish.

There used to be a very large Jewish population in Iran while it was still Persia. I know several of them who relocated to NY after the mullahs took over.
I wish more American media would interview this woman.
