A few months ago, a handful of university students heckeled a speech by Pres. Ahmadinejad - this was reported by just about the entire American media, from the so-called “left” to the rabidly right wing. The appearance that the media gave was that this was a major protest against the government of Iran - most of the videos that were distributed around the net only focused on the hecklers, and did not show the huge numbers of students in the room who obviously felt otherwise.

But that all is really secondary - what is far far more important is what Ahmadinejad was saying when he was interrupted. What he was saying should’ve been the focus of atleast the so-called and supposed “leftists” - but their own elitism and ideological gatekeeping gets in the way…(in their Islamophobia the difference between “left” and right is often blurred).

View all three videos below, they are english subtitled.
