Arab anti-Trump Jerusalem protests

Iranian anti-government protests

| Organized top-down by Palestinian leaders | Organized bottom up by individuals |
| Anti-America and Israel | Anti-Ayatollah |
| Predicted to set the Middle East on fire by experts. They were wrong. |
Not predicted by experts at all. |
| Meaningless, could never accomplish anything. US and Israel wouldn't back down. | A very big deal, even if violently put down it puts the mullahs on notice |
| Wall to wall media coverage hoping to find some violence that would justify the predictions | Media ignoring it (or, worse, covering pro-regime puppet rallies as legit) |
The sad part is that since the "experts" and media were so invested in the Iranian deal and in supporting the regime at the expense of the majority of Arabs and Israel, they cannot now support a real grass-roots uprising against tyranny.
