I believe you can fully judge the intentions of everyone who wrote anything on the Middle East by their response to the genocide in Palestine.
Her acknowledgement of "Shah bad"doesn't really hold up when she then spends most of her time demonizing those who fought the Shah. Liberalist both-sides fence sitters who "acknowledge" the Shah was propped up by the Brits but oppose a government which Iranians wanted themselves are just two-faced.
Sure, but she wasn't literally 10 when she drew her cartoons. She was writing the comic from the perspective of a 10 year old. I'm sure she had her valid gripes with the Iranian government but her entire comic is just r/atheism zingers with only "and then everyone clapped" missing.
It wasn't a deep analysis of Iranian society. It was flattening it to confirm Western demonization of it.
