Surprisingly, there are much more pro-Israel people in Iran than here in Europe!

you guess why?

because 25-years long of anti-Semite propaganda alongside with torture, harassment and killings have provoked a strong pro-Israel sentiment while at the same time rejecting to embrace the Palestinian cause. As far as I know, the Iranians have a long history of friendship with the Jews..

Unlike the ancient Romans, which were those who killed Jesus ( and not the Jews) and then persecuted the Jews, the ancient Persians never harmed the Jews and the people of the Middle East as well.

But, in return of this, today's Arabs are doing to the Iranians the same as they did when they invaded Persia. Too much harm. The Jews, instead, never harmed the Persians / Iranians.

Before the Islamic Inquisition / the Second Islamic Invasion of Iran, the Jews lived in thousands in Iran and had good relationships with the other Iranians..

Everything has changed since 1979. But what is changed is the regime. The Iranian people did not change. Despite some far-leftist groups and some few Islamists, the Iranians always respected and appreciated the Jews.

This is something that cannot to be ignored.

the ancient Persians never harmed the Jews and the people of the Middle East as well.

What was that little affair in the book of Esther about then?

The Jews were freed from their Babylonian captivity by Cyrus the Great of Persia, who defeated the Babylonians. The Book of Esther describes the circumstances of the Jews' release.

Israel wanted to help with the earthquake relief--but the regime objected--why?

Because the truth would have been revealed to be the reverse of the propaganda:

Israel, of good-will;

Regime of Ayatollah: self-serving tyrants repressing the people.

Yet the Iranian people are not fooled--and the regime is not safe.

There was this little matter of "a law of the Medes and Persians" being passed such that the Persian people would plunder the Jews on a given date.

[thoughtomator]

The "law of the Medes and Persians" didn't refer to any plunder. It was a trick foisted on Darius to get him to kill Daniel the prophet, and an unsuccessful one, at that.
