An Iranian-American lawyer and activist slammed pro-Palestinian protesters for “twerking on TikTok” and supporting Hamas, the Houthis and Hezbollah.
Elica Le Bon, a British-born, American-educated lawyer, attacked Iran sympathizers on Chris Cuomo’s NewsNation show on Monday.
“When we see this generation of TikTok people coming out and twerking on TikTok about how the resistance axis is going to release the watermelon, we’ve gotten to the point where we’ve completely lost it.”
He criticized protesters and supporters of Iran’s Islamic regime amid the recent bombings of Israel, saying they are “supporting a terrorist regime.”
“They are supporting a terrorist regime that the Iranian people have been trying to free themselves from for the last 45 years.”

He criticized protesters and supporters of Iran’s Islamic regime amid the recent bombings of Israel, saying they are “supporting a terrorist regime.”
He said this generation of people twerking on TikTok about how the resistance axis is going to release the watermelon have completely “lost control.”
‘This is not where the story began. And this is not where the story ends,” Le Bon said during an appearance on NewsNation’s ‘CUOMO.’ ‘This is not a new dispute. It is a decade-long dispute.
“The 1979 revolution in Iran began exactly this way: progressive radicalization led to this revolution that led to this regime,” he told Cuomo.
‘Are you telling me there is no support for the parent company? The head of the snake? Of course, that will be the natural trajectory because it is an ideological inconsistency to support the representatives and the instability and terror they are inflicting on the region and not support the head of the snake.’
“This was the decisive moment, the turning point when we realized exactly what it was that we Iranians were worried about for the last six months. Having spent all that time trying to educate the world about the experience of Iranians under the iron boot of this oppressive regime.
‘…and how we should support the people of Iran, the women in Iran, which quickly escalated to completely distorting this narrative and expressing our support for the Islamic republic in this relationship against Israel.
‘You have no interest in celebrating our freedom and now what you want to do is live vicariously through this attack on Israel that did nothing but seriously injure a 7-year-old Bedouin girl and this is the liberation you are fantasizing about. ‘
This comes after the popular TikToker shared a powerful message on her social media accounts over the weekend, denouncing Iran and its clueless defenders.

‘In what capacity have you distorted history to make the Islamic Republic the victim?’ Le Bon said in a TikTok video on Sunday.
‘When we were shouting that Iranian women were being killed for not wearing hijab, where were you?’ Le Bon demands to know in the video, which has gone viral with more than 1 million views.
‘When they were lynching Iranian men from cranes for protesting, where were you? When we explained to you that this was a terrorist occupation force, where were you? said the lawyer, who has 300,000 followers.
“But suddenly everyone graduated from Instagram law school to say that it is a violation of international law and that Iran has the right to defend itself,” he fumed.
Last month, Le Bon appeared on Cuomo’s show with a similar message.
“It’s an almost perverse fetishization of suffering that people here in the West simply can’t understand because it’s not a cancer of the West,” he said.
Iran has threatened to use “weapons it has never used” in a “painful and severe” response if Israel launches airstrikes in retaliation for Tehran’s salvo at the weekend.
Israel previously vowed to respond to Iran’s unprecedented drone and missile attack, amid fears the Middle East is on the brink of all-out war.
“They are supporting a terrorist regime that the Iranian people have been trying to free themselves from for the last 45 years.
Police try to save a pro-Israel supporter, center, by removing his American flag that another person set on fire during a pro-Palestinian demonstration.
Pro-Palestinian protesters confront a small group of Israeli protesters during mourning events outside the New York Stock Exchange.
As the West urged calm to prevail in the Jewish state, the National Security Committee of the Iranian Parliament, Abolfazl Amoue, declared that Iran is “prepared to use a weapon we have never used” if Israel responds further.
Speaking on Monday, he said Israel should consider its next steps and “act wisely.”
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi also warned Israel that it will face a “painful response” if it takes the “slightest action” in response to the attack on his country.
The threats raise fears that Iran’s lackluster drone and missile bombardment (99 percent of which was intercepted by Israel and its allies) could further push Tehran to develop nuclear weapons.
Shocking scenes occurred on the streets of New York City on Monday when Palestinian activists set fire to an American flag held by Israel supporters while chanting “Death to America!” right under the noses of the NYPD.
Gasps were heard as the Stars and Stripes held by a pro-Israel counter-protester were set alight and then waved in the air, while bright yellow flames could be seen rising from the flag.
Police officers stationed at the protest in front of the New York Stock Exchange could be seen wrestling with the flag and putting out the fire as it was torn down.
Moments later, a fellow protester was heard shouting “Death to America.”
The police officers seemed oblivious to what was happening right in front of them and in video footage appear to have little drive to pursue the man who shouted the offensive phrase.
The multiple protests come just after Iran attacked Israel with an airstrike with 350 missiles early Sunday.
The attack has since been described as a “declaration of war”, as Israel’s President Isaac Herzog insisted that Israel did not want a war, but suggested that they would retaliate following Iran’s bold airstrike.
On Monday, around 8:23 a.m., protesters sat in the middle of the Kennedy Expressway, connected to each other with PVC pipes, and blocked the highway leading to O’Hare Airport.
