Before the drone footage, they tried to frame this as “old white man drives through a pro-Palestinian protest”
Turns out, a mob blocked off the highway, surrounded his car, chased him, and then tried attacking him.
Here is the full drone footage:

>The Emerging Red-Green Alliance: Where Political Islam Meets the Radical Left
Long list of sauce in the abstract. Looks like some interdasting reading
Abstract
No matter how unlikely it may seem, radical Leftists and Islamists have come closer in recent years. Drawing on substantial ideological interchange, and operating at both state and non-state levels, the two movements are building a Common Front against the United States and its allies. In this article, we use framing theory to examine the contemporary convergence of political Islam and the radical Left. Both radical Leftists and Islamists have utilized the master frame of anti-globalization/anti-capitalism and the master frame of anti-colonialism/anti-imperialism to elicit support from the widest possible range of people. The emerging Red-Green alliance presents a complex challenge that will require careful attention from U.S. and European policymakers.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE TUDEH PARTY OF IRAN
Written by: M. Omidvar
ABOUT THIS PAMPHLET
The labour and communist movement in Iran is 71 years old, and this includes the 51 years of the of the Tudeh Party of Iran, the party of the Iranian working class. Since its formation the party has been the main target of attacks by internal reaction and the imperialist forces, who were dominating the political life of the country in order to plunder its vast natural resources. Our party, during all these 5 decades, has been allowed to operate legally for only a few years. The party has been outlawed by various governments and Tudeh members sent to torture chambers and firing squads; yet the party has relentlessly continued its struggle, remaining loyal to the lofty ideals of peace, democracy and socialism.

The Formation of the Tudeh Party of Iran
Reza Shah had entered into a secret alliance with Nazi Germany, giving Hitler bases in Iran for an attack on the Soviet Union and had turned down allied requests to close down these bases.On 25 August 1941, the Allied Forces entered Iranian territory. Reza Shah was forced to flee and the British succeeded in bringing his son, Mohammad Reza to power. Taking advantage of the vacuum created after the events of August, the Tudeh Party of Iran was formed in September 1941 to continue the work of the banned Communist Party of Iran under conditions of open activity. Following the collapse of Reza Shah's dictatorship, with the new conditions prevailing, a large group of political prisoners were released. These included Dr. Arani's group (known as the Group of Fifty-three) who adhered to the communist ideology. The first foundation stones of the Tudeh Party of Iran were laid by these communists. On 29 September 1941, the founding conference of the TPI was held in Tehran under the chairmanship of Soleiman Mohsen Eskandari, one of the renowned combatants of the national liberation movement. This gathering elected a provisional committee of fifteen members which issued a declaration outlining the Party's programme in principle and announced that the Tudeh Party of Iran was being formed in order to achieve democracy, safeguard the independence and national sovereignty of Iran and to endeavor to bring about urgent reforms in the interest of the people.

but there's this
BEGINNING OF THE STORM
The mid 70's witnessed an unprecedented growth of the revolutionary struggle in our country. Workers' strikes and people's protests reached an unprecedented level and the Shah's regime's crisis were intensifying ever more. The enslaved masses were not prepared to tolerate the Coup's regime any more and the plundering rulers were also unable to rule in the old way. The first massive clash of the people with the regime's oppressors took place in Qum on 7th of January 1978. The special issue of "Navid", which was published four days after this incident, wrote: "The widespread demonstration of the people, was the cry of protest against the repressive regime and the dirty role of the Shah as puppet of the American imperialism and agent of Zionist Israel in manipulating the Middle East crisis against the interest of the Arab and Palestinian peoples…" (Navid, special issue no. 15, 11th Jan. 1978).
Ever since then, Iran, like an exploded gun barrel was never calmed down till the victory of the revolution. There was not a single day, in which the clamouring masses did not storm the streets and shout, "down with the Shah" against the reactionary dependent Shah and the regimes tanks and machine guns. It was less than a month after the demonstration in Qum, when the heroic people of Tabriz stormed the streets and challenged the Shah's murderers. The regime, which was frightened at the spread of the masses' uprising, savagely attacked the 100,000 strong demonstration and massacred hundreds of people. But the shaded blood became a flag in the hand of the people all over Iran; the sound of "down with the Shah" echoed throughout Iran.
April 1978 was the beginning of a storm and an earthquake which shook the palace of the despotic monarchy. By the end of April 78 extensive mass demonstrations took place in more than 30 cities in Iran. The Shah responded by imposing martial law and massacring the people on an unprecedented level. The Tudeh Party of Iran and its underground organisation, "Navid", played an outstanding role in this ever increasing movement and giving direction to it. The Party for the first time, through its publication, "Navid", on Monday 9th of September 1978 announced the call for a national strike and wrote: "From now on we call upon all the national forces, all the political and trade unions organisations, all the militant and freedom loving individuals to mount an overall national strike in opposition to the Shah's criminal coup in order to halt all the economic and social infrastructure of the country and force the blood thirsty regime of the Shah to its knees. Intensification of the struggle can only be possible and fruitful through a well considered and swift preparation for organising a paralyzing several strike." (Navid no 44, 9th September 1978).
Despite all the conspiracies of the Shah's regime and the right wing forces, our Party's call became the slogan of all the toiling people and freedom fighters in Iran, and history has been a witness to the fact that the general strikes, especially the strike of the oil workers, played a crucial role in bringing about a qualitative leap in the revolutionary movement and finally the victory of the anti-despotic, popular and anti-imperialist revolution of February 1979. The leadership of the Party was very responsive to the rapid development and intensification of the struggle and adopted the necessary measures to match the qualitatively changing conditions created by such events as the Shah's escape from Iran, and the installation of Bakhtiyar's government. The Party leadership, analysing these developments, issued a statement on 30th Jan. 1978. It stated that: "The recent events once more proved the correctness of the assessments of the Tudeh Party of Iran, that under the specific conditions of Iran today, demonstrations and strikes alone are not enough for the success of the revolution. For the abolition of the monarchy, rejection of imperialism headed by America, establishment of a republic based on the people's will, securing national independence, realisation of democratic rights, construction of a healthy national economy and improving the living standards, for breaking the overt counter-revolutionary wrath of imperialism and reaction, it is necessary to prepare and organise the peoples' armed resistance." (Documents and Viewpoints p.p. 884).
Despite the opposition of Khomeini and his supporters who were in the leadership of the revolution, the events of the following days proved the correctness of the party assessment, and the peoples' armed struggle and resistance on 8th, 9th and 10th of Feb. inflicted the decisive and final blow to the rotten regime of the Shah and put an end to the 2500 years of monarchy in Iran.
