Iranian-American attorney and activist slams pro-Palestine protesters for 'twerking on TikTok' and supporting Hamas, Houthis and Hezbollah: 'You have completely lost it and are supporting a terrorist regime'

An Iranian-American attorney and activist has slammed pro-Palestine protesters for 'twerking on TikTok' and supporting Hamas, Houthis and Hezbollah. 

Elica Le Bon, a British-born, American-educated lawyer, bashed Iran sympathizers on Chris Cuomo's NewsNation show on Monday.  

'When we see this TikTok generation of people that are coming out and twerking on TikTok about how the axis of resistance is going to free watermelonia, now we have reached the point where you've completely lost it.'

She criticized protesters and supporters of Iran's Islamic regime amid recent bombings of Israel, saying they're 'supporting a terrorist regime.' 

'You are supporting a terrorist regime that the Iranian people have been trying to free themselves from for the past 45 years.' 

'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 feud. It's a decade's long feud.'

'The 1979 revolution in Iran began exactly this way which was the progressive radicalization which led to this revolution that brought led to this regime,' she said to Cuomo. 

'You're telling me there's no support for the parent company? the head o the snake? of course that's going to be the natural trajectory because its an ideological inconsistency to support the proxies and the instability and terror they're inflicting in the region and not support the head of the snake.'

'This was the watershed moment the turning point when we realized exactly what it was we as Iranians were anxious about the last six months. After we had spent all that time seeking to educate the world about the experience of Iranians under the iron boot of this oppressive regime .' 

' ... and how we need to stand with the people of Iran the women in Iran which quickly escalated to actually what we are going to is distort this narrative entirely and express our support for the Islamic republic in this relation against Israel

'You have no interest in celebrating our freedom and now what you want to do is live vicariously through this attack against Israel which did nothing but seriously injure a 7-year-old Bedouin girl and this is the liberation that you're fantasizing about.'

This comes after the popular TikToker shared a powerful message on her social media accounts over the weekend - calling out Iran and its clueless defenders. 

 'In what capacity have you distorted the story to make the Islamic Republic the victim?' Le Bon said in a TikTok video Sunday.

'When we were screaming that they were killing Iranian women for not wearing a 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 were explaining that it's a terrorist occupying force, where were you?' said the lawyer, who has 300,000 followers.

'But all of a sudden everyone's graduated from Instagram school of law to say that it's a violation of international law and Iran has the right to defend itself,' she seethed.

Last month, Le Bon appeared on Cuomo's show with a similar message.  

'It's an almost perverse fetishization of the suffering that people here in the west simply cannot understand because it is not a cancer of the west' she said. 

Iran has threatened to use 'weapons it has never used' in a 'painful and severe' response if Israel launches airstrikes in retaliation to Tehran's weekend salvo.

Israel earlier vowed that it will respond to Iran's unprecedented drone and missile attack, amid fears that the Middle East is teetering on the edge of an all-our war.

As the West urged for calmer heads to prevail in the Jewish state, Iranian Parliament's National Security Committee Abolfazl Amoue stated that Iran is 'prepared to use a weapon that 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 it will face a 'painful response' if it takes the 'slightest action' in response to his country's attack.

The threats raise fears that Iran's lacklustre drone and missile barrage - 99 percent of which was intercepted by Israel and its allies - could further push Tehran to develop nuclear weapons.

There were shocking scenes on the streets of New York City on Monday as Palestinian activists set fire to an American flag being held by Israel supporters while chanting 'Death to America!' right under the noses of the NYPD.

There were audible gasps as the Stars and Stripes being held by a pro-Israel counter-protestor was set alight and then waved in the air - as bright yellow flames could be seen coming from the flag.

Police officers stationed at the protest outside the New York Stock Exchange could be seen wrestling the flag and stamping out the fire as it was brought to the ground.

Moments later, a fellow protestor could be heard yelling 'Death to America'.

Police officers appeared oblivious to what was happening right in front of them and in video footage appears to have little drive to chase down the man who shouted the offending phrase.

The multiple protests come just after Iran attacked Israel in a 350-missile airstrike 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 they would retaliate after Iran's audacious airstrike.

On Monday, around 8.23am, protestors sat in the middle of the Kennedy Expressway, linked to each other with PVC pipes and blocked the highway leading to O'Hare airport.
