Edit: I meant that Ahmadinejad has nothing against the Jews only the Zionists.

Answer 2

I would love you to actually have the nerve to say that a Jew from Iran.

"At the time of the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, there were approximately 140,000–150,000 Jews living in Iran, the historical center of Persian Jewry. Over 85% have since migrated to either Israel or the United States. At the time of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, 80,000 still remained in Iran. From then on, Jewish emigration from Iran dramatically increased, as about 20,000 Jews left within several months after the Islamic Revolution"

Answer 3

by using actuality Iran has no project with Jews. They do, as do a great form of people, have a project with Zionists. i think of of Israel even provided to bypass the Iranian Jews to Israel, yet had their furnish grew to grow to be down. The Iranian Jews go with no element of their zionist cousins . And for each and all the pig-ignorant people, particular, Iran has the substantial significant Jewish inhabitants in the Mideast, outdoors of Israel. There are around 30000 jews living in Iran.

Answer 4

Because Iran has no problem with Jews. They do, as do many people, have a problem with Zionists.

I think Israel even offered to move the Iranian Jews to Israel, but had their offer turned down. The Iranian Jews want no part of their zionist cousins .

And for all the pig-ignorant people, yes, Iran has the largest Jewish population in the Mideast, outside of Israel.

There are around 30000 jews living in Iran.

Answer 5

They're not. They are forced to desecrate the Sabath by being forced to keep schools and other institutions open. They cannot emigtrate without leaving their families, possession and everything else behind. If they help others to emigrate they end up in jail, sometimes dying. If they don't spout the government line they end up being accussed of some crime- like 10 Jews who were killed for 'espionage'- including a 17 year old barber;s assistant.

Answer 6

This contractual agreement under Sharia Islamic Law presupposes complete loyalty to the Islamic Regime, in exchange for which the minority community receives second-class limited privileges in practicing its religion. If the terms of this contract are breached, supposedly even by individual members of the community, the limited privileges of the entire community can be suspended or revoked or the minority community (in this instance the Jewish community) can even face deportation from the country.

Under these circumstances the Iranian Jewish Community must avoid any statements that could be interpreted as critical of the regime and forces the government-imposed or government-tolerated leaders of the Iranian Jewish Community to turn in or turn against those individual members of the community who are brave enough to dare to speak out about the true condition of Jews in Iran.

Answer 7

in iran we think to our nation at first . we love each other.we are compatriot and live and work side by side. we love our beautiful and old territory
we have a statute that by a majority vote was accepted (98%)
and islam means accept allah with heart and belive that god is one and jews belive to god so why we should be enemy?roots of our religions are unic and islam is a religion of kindness not war ofcourse in political propaganda iranian show as cruel &bloodthirsty, but we are kind in 7000 years of iran history and 3000 year arian history in iran this people be peace full

Answer 8

Well, Iran is a largely democratic nation -- and while they do have a national religion, they also tolerate other religions as long as those people do not cause violent uprisings.

Jews tend not to cause violent uprisings unless they are attacked, and they haven't been attacked in Iran.

Also, remember that under Islamic definitions, both Jews and Christians are included along with Muslims in those who worship the God of Abraham -- namely, sibling religions.

Answer 9

because Iran is not anti-Semitic. they are anti- Zionist and think Israel shouldn't exist. they feel bad for Palestine. they disbelieve the holocaust.
the Jewish group that is against Israel (because they believe the Jews shouldn't have their own state until the messiah comes back) even met with the president of Iran. they had a very peaceful meeting.
its not about racial/religious hate, its about politics and sovereignty of nations.

Answer 10

Would you provide a link! I would love to read about this. While your at it give me Bigfoot's cellphone number. Have you seen any aliens lately?

EDIT: Well make me mad, prove that what you say is true. This is all I ask!


EDIT: Wikipedia? LOL you are a tard! This is from the BBC news.

The article states that Iran is home to the second largest population of Jew in the middle east they are just tolerated! Protected by a religious edict issued by the very person the U.S. put in power. Hum coincidence? It goes on to say that there have been threats and violence against the Iranian Jews and fear due to Iran new president Mahmoud Ahmedinejad.

*** I have to say this. You people that are against Zionism, why? The only aim of the people you term as Zionists is the re-establisment of a Jewish state. Whats the harm it that? It seems everywhere else they are mistreated. That is their ancient home. Let them be!

The Guardian a self proclaimed left wing liberal rag. Your links just keep getting better don't they!
