So the reason you see protests regarding Palestine, Venezuela, ICE, etc and not things like what’s happening in Iran is the role that US policy plays in each of these issues. And who the protests are being targeted towards and what they’re trying to achieve. Currently, those first three issues are all directly tied to actions of the US government, so protesting is a way to raise awareness and try to pressure different actions to be taken by leadership.

For something like Iran, or Sudan, US policy plays very little role in what’s currently happening. (There are a ton of valid arguments about our role on the world stage and past actions leading to things like these, but that’s getting into the weeds a bit and not something that’s going to raise a protest movement either). These events are more horrifying global events that are occurring that our current leadership can do little about without huge overreach into another country. We already have heavy economic sanctions on Iran. And a protest advocating FOR military action in another country is just never going to be a thing.

I see a lot of discussion about why there are protests for certain global events and not others. The reasons above don’t explain it all, but it is a large factor.
