No. Iranian government and Iranian People are not Anti-jew, their attitutes and policies are anti-zion. There is no one (except for the White supremicst, KKK, Talibans, Fascists and/Nazis)who thinks holocaust or mass genocide of any type is justified, so Israel's abuse of Palestenian rights and occupation of their land should be considered in the same light.
Is a Palestenian/Arab life, or right to "pursuit of Happines" any less than an Israelis or American's? Do we really think that our lives (US, Israel, Japan, Australia, NZ, and the native European population) is more valuable than that of the other less-educated or less wealthy people in the world?
Rememeber, Israeli is not the same as the zionist idealogy/regime. Iran (and 90% of muslims) is against zionism (as far as it is concerned with occuping Palestinian lands), not anti-jew.
Muslims revere Moses as a prophet and through history there has been mostly good relationship between Muslims and Jews (unlike the Spanish Christians and the German Christians who massacred Millions of Jews in the 15th and 20th centuries).
Note: Arabs are semites also, so how can arabs be Anti-semitic (On the other hand Iranians are NOT arabs/semites).

I'm going on the assumption you're right: Because they live there. It is their home, has been probably for generations. They don't want to drop it all, especially if they are being treated fine in Iran. Quite honestly, I don't think this "means" anything about either Iran or Israel. Yes, some people don't want to live in Israel and some are treated well in Iran, but there are also some who love Israel or are treated badly in Iran. But I think that if your facts are true, that really makes me happy. I find it wonderful when people can put their religious and political differences aside to get along. And in times like this, when conflicts in the middle east between muslims and jewish people are really strong, it is great that people still can live together without hate.

They don't believe Israel should exist, so they are anti-Zionist; they are likely not anti-Semitic since they are observant Hassidic Jews.
It is possible to like Jews or even be a Jew, but not be in favor of the establishment of Israel as a nation in the middle east.
It is also possible to like Jews or even be a Jew, to be in favor of the establishment of Israel as a nation in the middle east, but at the same time, to disagree with certain policies and actions of the current government of Israel.
In other words, if one does not support Israel's policies, that does not mean one is anti-Semitic. One must also hate Jews or be prejudiced against them.

According to Tehran's statement, the conference is not meant to conclude anything.
They just want to exchange ideas between people like David Duke, where in thier countries they can't exchange thier ideas freely.
I have even seen some Jewish Rabbis. I don't think this conference is meant to be anti semetic in any way, although I imagine many others would. This conference is undoubtedly anti Israel.
Being critical of the way Israel handles its political environment, doesn't mean being anti semite.
I think freedom of speech should not be repressed. Even though the holocaust is considered taboo in parts of the Western world.

Anti-Semitism has been the way that Israel has deflected criticism of their inhumane acts against the people of Palestine and Lebanon. Call me an anti-semite if you want but Israel should not be occupying Palestinian Land.

They have gone there to express themselves. Obviously interest of their community is as dear to them as Prime Minister of Israel. Their presence does not mean that they are supporting Iranian Government. We may not agree with their views, but we must listen to them.

They're damn fools. By attending, they're legitimizing this immature spectacle. Their real motive is to oppose Israel, which they feel can only be regathered by the Messiah (keep waiting ... keep waiting... he'll come ONE of these Milliennia ...) but they're cavalier about the effect of their presence.
