فرهادی و کاسبی با فلسطین
Transcript Tap any line to jump the video to that moment 0:00 Star Sinatra said that it is truly sickening that Asghar Farhadi makes a film about Palestine 0:06 but has remained silent about the killing of his people, of his country; is the story of the martyrdom of Alireza Sepahi not worthy of a film? 0:12 No, because Farhadi is only after an Oscar and pleasing the leftists. 0:18 Look, let me tell you something. 0:21 The issue— 0:23 Now, I'm not dealing with Asghar Farhadi here. Some of his stances could be caution, could—could 0:29 be cauti—could 0:31 be some form of solidarity with Palestine or whatever else. But it seems that 0:36 all those who have adopted an opportunistic, wheeler-dealer approach—for now, I'm not accusing Asghar Farhadi of 0:41 doing this for financial reasons. My point is that all those 0:45 who want to have it both ways in the current situation of the Islamic Republic, es- 0:49 -pecially those seeking to amass huge wealth, have felt that whatever they say or do is fine, 0:56 provided they somehow align themselves with certain concepts favored by the officials 1:00 of the Islamic Republic. A government that signs the Islamabad agreement after months of effort, 1:06 and makes its very first clause about Lebanon—not about Iran's economy, not 1:10 about the Strait of Hormuz, not about an Iran-US war, but hinges it on a ceasefire 1:15 in Lebanon—such a government can certainly be fooled with a film about Palestine. 1:20 Or maybe Asghar Farhadi thinks he can fool the Islamic Republic this way. 1:24 Our problem lies with the Islamic Republic, otherw—otherwise, the Asghar Farhadis come and go, the Mojtaba Vahidys 1:29 come and go. Our problem is with the Islamic Republic, which has proven that its priority is not Iran, and 1:34 has proven that through certain prioritization, it can attract certain people, or certain 1:39 people can, by aligning themselves with these anti-Iranian priorities of the Islamic Republic, make a living 1:45 and make a name for themselves. That's where the problem lies. We must rid ourselves of the Islamic Republic. 1:49 Asghar Farhadi will automatically be sidelined if he doesn't side with the people. I'm 1:53 not trying to defend him, mind you. I'm not saying don't condemn him. I agree with you too. Look, you might say 1:58 that Asghar Farhadi's life is in danger if he were to make a film in Iran about the slaughter of his own people. 2:03 Very well. The way to protest is not to make a film about Palestine either. 2:10 Because making a film about Palestine practically serves to promote the policies of the Islamic Republic. I'm not a 2:16 brave person my—since I can't do this myself, I don't expect Asghar Farhadi to go either 2:20 make a film in Iran about the Dey month massacre. 2:24 But the way to protest is not to make a film about Palestine either. This is just a cowardly kind of profiteering 2:30 against the Iranian nation, and in a way, throwing dust in the people's eyes—a way of poking 2:37 a finger in the people's eyes.
Caption Remaining silent on the atrocities against Iranians while exploiting the regime’s favored foreign causes: opportunism or selective silence?
Those seeking to balance both sides have realized that playing into preferred state narratives provides convenient cover to protect personal wealth and status—even when it means turning a blind eye to domestic tragedies and public outrage.
Selective advocacy that sidelines the suffering of one’s own people in pursuit of official favor or international prestige is a calculated choice. Public conscience and history will not overlook this double standard.
