Mehr news agency; Policy group – Zainab Rajaee: The movement that calls itself “Protestant” these days, has the slogan of “Freedom” and the claim of “Iranian Abad” on its tongue, has displayed another face of “liberationism” and “Iran-friendliness”. A face that came out from under the mask due to the coincidence of the recent unrest with the 2022 World Cup and wrestling matches.
Sports institutions have often tried to prevent the entry of political crises, issues and fringes into sports, or at least they have claimed to take steps in this direction. They encouraged people to draw a line between the world of politics and the world of sports; However, the set of behavior and actions of today’s protestors in Iran was a clear picture of the fact that “confrontation with the Islamic Republic” for them not only violates the slogan “it is not a political sport”; Rather, it has the potential to become an “anti-national and anti-Iranian” trend, as it has been so far.
After the result was handed over to the English and American national football teams and Iran was prevented from advancing to the next stage of the 2022 World Cup competitions, the protestors took to the streets, dancing and rejoicing as they considered themselves grieving and mourning the victims of the recent insecurity. Also, a number of supporters of this idea who were present in Qatar tried to turn the atmosphere inside and outside the stadium against the national team.
Now once again these protests after our country’s national freestyle wrestling team won the runner-up position in the world championships in recent days, insults and attacks on those who had won a world medal despite all the existing problems, once again the slogan is “desire for freedom” and showed “Iran-friendliness” in his caricature face.
All the efforts of this twenty group no one It was intended to prevent them from achieving results by creating a negative and toxic atmosphere during wrestling matches. So that during the competition, “Gasempour” and the Japanese wrestler used all kinds of sexual insults on the athlete and then chanted slogans of freedom.
On the other hand, some of these people showed up at the hotel where the wrestlers were staying and tried to break their spirits. Of course, this issue was neutralized by the appropriate reaction of the technical staff, and standing on the second platform of the competition showed that their efforts did not go anywhere. The video of a person named “Sam Rajabi”, who tried to marginalize the head coach of the national freestyle wrestling team by asking political questions, and disturbed his mental peace, was circulated in the cyberspace.
The intelligent reaction of “Pejman Darskar”, the head coach of the national free wrestling team, to Sam Rajabi, attracted the attention of cyberspace users. Rajabi, who has attracted the support of subversives and opponents of the Islamic Republic of Iran due to the publication of populist content in cyberspace and activities against the Islamic Republic of Iran, was ridiculed by many users.
What happened during the wrestling matches in recent days and the World Cup soccer matches and the margins that were made by a few people show that these people depend on any pretext to spread the wave of violence, from encouraging nationwide strikes to humiliation. National heroes intend to spread hatred in any way possible.
A current that recently abuses national athletes, medal winners and international champions and addresses them with the most base literature and the most vulgar discourse; It makes heroes out of rioters who committed murder and crime in the days of insecurity. After failing to achieve a solid ideology, this group has now resorted to myth-making criminals whose crimes are clear due to the available evidence.
As we have seen, after the execution of Majidreza Rahnavard, a rioter who took the lives of two people and injured four others during the call for nationwide strikes, a wave of support for him started in cyberspace and some people tried to publish pictures From his sports activities, they play the emotions and feelings of the society and create a myth by portraying the oppressor from the awe of a murderer. Of course, in the meantime, one cannot neglect the staging of the western media.
Earlier, in similar cases, many attempts were made to make those who had committed crimes as oppressed fighters. “Navid Afkari” who was executed for the crime of murdering “Hasan Turkman” and at the request of the parents of the Dem, was one of the clear examples of putting the oppressor in the place of the oppressed. It can be said that those who today use the hashtag “No to death penalty” for the murderers of security martyrs, are the same ones who ignored the rights of Turkmen families and created a political game for their own benefit.
Now, amid the news of the punishment of those who are influenced by foreign media and revolutionaries They came to the streets for rent and committed fratricide, the “Laden Broumand” celebration of a woman who spoke about the Iranian revolution in a meeting with Macron 4 weeks ago has been published. The bloodthirsty people who encourage the people of Iran to strike, threaten the shopkeepers and truck drivers with stones and cocktails. Molotov forced to stay at home; This is how they have gathered in New York to dance “for freedom” in an exhibition whose entrance fee is 80 dollars. As Hossein Dehbashi has written in response to the movie Laden Broumand’s celebration: “To drink, to swallow, to laugh, to photograph, to dance, to torment one’s conscience their compatriots For the excitement and happiness of the team their nationality. For the similarity of red blood with wine! Be killed for you, be unemployed, be fired so that we can live here! To Jogiri At the time of conflict…
If before these protests had a path to follow, today it has become a path that has no strategy and tactics. Even if the protests aim to fight against the Islamic Republic, by taking steps in the current path of this struggle, they have mistakenly attacked Iranian identity and nationality.
Uproar, violence and hatred are the only keywords that this current has known. Perhaps what makes this movement called “this” is the lack of discourse, ideology, strategy and manifesto; The lack that has caused the political struggle to give way to immorality and social vulgarity.
