At the end of the video, Israel's official TikTok channel shared the photo of the Iranian woman with the caption: "22 year old Mahsa Amini was murdered by the Islamic Regime for uncovering her hair"; adding: "may her memory be a blessing".
Viral reactions were made online following the release of the video by Israel's TikTok channel as pro-Palestinians heavily slammed the double standers of the occupation. Activists shared many videos showing the Israeli army forces attacking Palestinian women.
This is the hypocrisy of every single liberal. https://t.co/d6i9jRlTBi

One of the videos was posted on social media documenting the attack on a minor Palestinian female, aged 12, by eight armed forces at the same time. The video dates back to late February. However, it emerged widely online since the release of the video supporting Iran's latest protests against the death of Mahsa Amini.
People widely criticized the Israeli video and accused the government of being a hypocrite as it supports protest after the death of Iranian female Amini while it justifies attacking Palestinian females every single day.
Is this justified? https://t.co/wgAtmaDUaG
