There have been protests in countries that do not “fund” Israel too, so it’s not about funding only.

The protests have also been against the Israeli government so you’d anticipate at least protests against the Iranian government if not against one’s own government which they protest because of funding.

But we don’t see those protests against the Iranian regime. It reminds me of US protestors protesting the removal of Maduro contrasted with near total approval from expat Venezuelans in various countries.

Something doesn’t square.

Most western countries already don’t do business with Iran. These are extremely different situations. The whataboutism is just bizarre.
