Iranian civilian protestors, in a surprising turn of events in the country, are taking to the streets to express opposition to the hardline ruling regime by chanting, “Death to Palestine” and “Leave Syria, think of us,” according to an independent translation of videos showing the protests., Free Beacon reports.

Protestors are said to be fed up with the Iranian ruling regime’s focus on foreign intervention ahead of the country’s own economy, which has been even further strained since President Donald Trump walked away from the landmark nuclear agreement and reimposed harsh sanctions on Tehran.

Bill Clinton was right. It’s the economy stupid. Why should the average hard working Iranian care about some miserable Palestinian thousands of miles away, when he can’t put bread & butter on his table? Same thing in America. Liberalism for the hardworking middle class only goes up to a point. Yes, saving the earth, giraffes, environment, oceans, trans genders, poor African kids, etc…is idealisticly great, but when I can’t afford the basics, let the world go to hell.
