    The Iranians support Palestinians with weapons (not food though). Hamas is a proxy of Iran, and I believe the same religion. There are very few Persians in Palestine. It would make no sense to chant directly against Iran.

    As with everything in the Middle East, it’s complicated.

      Hamas is Sunni, Iran is Shiite. They’re aligned out of convenience more than religion. The Middle East isn’t actually that complicated, the idea that it is so complicated is peddled to scare people from actually understanding the region and forming their own conclusions, usually out of fear that the listener might not find a genocidal European colony to be “the good guys”.

        Ah, then it makes sense that Iran provides no real support to the Palestinians. They’re a different religion, so the Iranian regime only has an interest in using them against Israel.

          I mean there’s probably other reasons Iran can’t really help the Palestinians. More practical reasons having to do with logistics, economy, cost, geopolitics, potential consequences/sanctions, etc.
