I used to give some leeway to other, more charitable explanations, but now it's become crystal clear to me there's one reason only: people hate Jews. It's anti-semitism. You can call it whatever you want, give whatever excuses you want, but the fact of the matter: liberals in the west only care about these things if Jews are involved. Otherwise, we'd see celebrities for Iran the same way we saw celebrities for Gaza a long time ago.
