Why nobody is talking about Iran?

I just find it amazing that everyone lost their minds for Gaza with the death toll of this so called 40,000 happening in months if not a couple years and the same death toll in Iran happens in not more than 2 weeks and no ones batting an eye. Not even... @Leo Gura 

PURE HYPOCRISY because it doesn't fit into a narrow potitical idealogy that US bad and allies bad everyone else good. PATHETIC! 

I will list to you the reasons why that is the case according to my investigations

Disclaimer: I am not agreeing with these points per say but simply stating them, reporting them

1. Huge amount of uncertainty about the true death toll. You have claims from 5000 to 60.000 and that varience creates a lot of confusion. In Gaza you had pretty specific numbers that were not contensted much and gave a lot of clarify. Even IDF recently agreed that the Hamas death toll is mostly accurate: https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-believes-70000-gazans-killed-in-war-as-claimed-by-hamas/

2. Footage. This is huge. At first there was no footage so people did not believe things. Now there is indeed footage which is causing a change in the perception. A lot of people have the "I will believe it when I see it" type of attitude. Thing is in Gaza a lot of the footage involved kids and people are way more sensitive when a 5 year old gets killed compared to a 35 year old man.

3. Hypocrisy. Now just as you call the pro Palis hypocrites for not supporting Iran, the pro Palis call the Zios hypocrites for suddently caring about civilians killed when their side killed tens of thousands of civilians including kids

4. Lack of trust about intentions. There is the idea within liberal camps that Israel and USA caused this indirectly and therefore they are responsible instead of the IRGC. Personally I think IRGC is horrible for what they did but a lot of people seem to put the first blame on those other countries. Also, they simply do not trust Western media about Iran (first point I mentioned)

5. Ideological alingement. Basically what you already wrote
