Try to forget that they are Sunnis? This Sunni-Shia bull$#@! line is what I hate the most when it comes to Muslims. This is as stupid as "why forgetting the Kurds and crying for Gazans", "why forgetting Syrians and crying for Gazans" (Islamic republic syndrome you remember? The government supports Bashar's bloodshed while criticizing Israelis even though the casualties are not even comparable. Your argument is exactly what many Iranians also use, just as naive), "why forgetting hungry kids of Somalia and crying for Gazans". FFS. I'm not a politician, nor a religious extremist. I'm not looking for what's beneficial for my political party or religious dream. I exactly know who I am and who I am not. That's why I don't understand such absurd arguments as you make. Iranian government is, for whatever reason, probably thinking that it's in their best interest to support Bashar. I'm not a politician so I'm against such savagery against civilians. Iranian government is also thinking that they should fight against Israel. I'm still not a politician and I find what Israel is doing atrocious so why should I try to find the hypocrisy in what my government is doing right when I'm thinking in line with them? Who cares if it's Sunnis/Shias/Yezidis/Arabs/etc as long as they are defenseless civilians who are brutalized? Raise your voice when you should and be consistent in that if you are not a politician. If you are, well, try to understand your fellow politicians. They are working for their interests, they have double standards (so do you hence stop moaning about it), deal with it.
