its about the media power since the west have huge media coverage they can destroy iran image and rush of bad news makes people to immigrate. if you let some Iranian news channel in your country then you will see protest and migration more over but human rights in Palestine is much much worse just count the civilians killed by Israelis each year compare that to Iran if you really care about human rights the those are human too and you have such strong relation with Israel
