American and Israeli conservatives hate and oppose the Iranian regime. So to organize and passionately denounce the Iranian regime would be to make common cause with conservatives - which is anathema to campus activists. Negative polarization is a hell of a drug.
To the activist class, outrage over dead Muslim civilians depends entirely on who is doing the killing. Iranian massacres of civilians, the Yemeni Civil War, Shia vs Sunni sectarian bloodshed (which kills thousands a year) - all nothing-burgers to the "From the River to the Sea" crowd.
