شهروندان ایرانی عاملیت دارند. وقتی به یک فراخوان پاسخ میدهند خود به خطرات اقدامشان آگاهند و همچنین بسیار بهتر از ما که ساکن خارج کشور هستیم میدانند که جمهوری اسلامی چیست چون دارند آن را زندگی میکنند. ممکن است در هفته‌های آتی بعضی از تظاهرکنندگان در مورد فراخوان و تبعاتش انتقاداتی مطرح کنند که طبیعتا حق آنهاست، مخصوصا در مورد مقولهٔ در راه بودن کمک خارجی. اما اینکه آنان را افرادی ساده و ناآگاه تصویر کنیم که مورد سواستفاده‌‌ قرار گرفته‌اند روایتی نادرست است چون عاملیت آنان در تصمیم‌گیری سیاسی را کوچک میشمرد.

خامنه‌ای درس تروریسم علیه ملت ایران را در مکتب نواب صفوی قاتل آموخت. با تروریسم سینما رکس به قدرت رسیدند. با قتلهای زنجیره‌ای و در کشتار جمعی ۱۳۶۸ تروریسم‌اسلامی را به مرتبه دیگری از خونخواری رساندند.کشتار اخیر حتی در این کارنامه ننگین شرم اور ترین نمونه این توحش و تروریسم است.

Fascinating to observe the almost total silence from loudly pro-Palestinian celebrities & media figures re the courageous Iranian protestors risking their lives for freedom and democracy. Suggests their hatred of Israel overrides intellectual honesty and principle.
