Socialist and Anti-Israel Groups Lead ‘No War on Iran’ Protest at Arizona State U
“These mobilizations will continue, and they will express the sentiment of the majority of people in this country: Stop the war on Iran!”
It’s always the same groups who do this stuff. They change issues from time to time, but that’s all.

ASU socialist and Palestinian groups lead joint ‘No War on Iran’ protest on campus, Iranian students push back
Socialist and pro-Palestine student groups rallied Monday at Arizona State University to protest U.S. military action involving Iran, drawing pushback from Iranian students who said the activists misrepresented the views and experiences of the country’s people.
The protest, organized by ASU Students for Justice in Palestine, United Campus Workers Arizona, and the Phoenix chapter of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, was branded in a March 1 Instagram post as an “emergency day of action.”
In their joint post, the organizations framed the protest as an opposition to “corporate greed” and “endless war,” adding that “students have always been at the forefront of past anti-war movements.”
The groups disabled comments on the post after users challenged their stance and accused organizers of deleting comments from students who expressed support for the military action in Iran.
The Party for Socialism and Liberation’s national chapter issued a statement on Feb. 28 condemning U.S. military action and rejecting claims that Iran poses an imminent threat to the United States.
“Today, protests are taking place in scores of cities nationwide,” the organization said in their statement. “These mobilizations will continue, and they will express the sentiment of the majority of people in this country: Stop the war on Iran!”
The ASU Iranian Students Association organized a counter-protest following the campus demonstration, writing in a March 2 Instagram post that the “Iranian people have been in conflict with their own government for over 47 years, suffering repression, crackdowns, and human rights abuses.”
The organization stated that its members would “make clear that the Iranian people stand with the United States and for human rights, accountability, and peace.”

Of we stop the war on Iran can we please start it on Socialist and Muslim groups here in the US. We all love the smell of napalm – it smells of Victory!
These idiots can’t find Iran on a map, don’t know the difference between Arabs and Persians or the difference betwen Iraq and Iran. I mena they bothe start w/ the letter I after all and aren’t all Muslim nations the same. What stupid losers. If I hear one more jackass say how it’s Iraq 2003 all over again, my head will explode. Literally you have to be completely illiterate of any understanding of the Middle East to think so. My generation are the ones who fought in those two endless wars, not their generation. What do they know that tic toc doesn’t tell them. They have no idea what actual Iranians think and have no care to listen. Iranians are a smart, very well educated group of people who know what political Islam looks like, and they don’t want it. These idiots should try listening to them.
Maybe Trump shouldn’t be holding bake sales for their basketball team.
