(IsraelNN.com) Iranian Jewish leader Siamal Morsadegh, slated to become a member of the Iranian parliament, said he is calling on the Jewish community not to celebrate Israel's 60th anniversary as a modern state because of the killing of "innocent" Arabs. The approximately 25,000 Jews in Iran largely enjoy religious freedom and economic prosperity and often distance themselves from pro-Israel stands.

"We are in complete disagreement with the behavior of Israel," Morsadegh told Reuters News Agency. "We are Iranians. We have no relations with Israel."

They sound like Jewish Muslims to me.

They need to make Aliyah, because surely the Persians will carve them up as soon as it is expedient to do so. The Jews in Europe found this out the hard way—I hope that the iranian Jews find out sooner rather than later (or until it is too late.)

The self hating jews and white liberals pretending to be jews were out in force today.
When I got out of work in Seattle and walking to my car, there was a group of about 50 mostly white, non-jewish people in front of the symphony hall protesting Israel. The had a bunch of small black painted coffins draped with palestinian flags and painted with anti-isreal slogans.
The protestors were dressed in black dresses & military outfits and wearing those palestinian head scarfs. Holding up signs saying, “Jews against palestinian genocide” and “60 years of genocide”.

The mollacracy does not feel threatened by Persian Jews. Neither them, nor their religion, is a threat to the mollas or their ideology.

They have a visceral hatred of Israel, but they will leave Iranian Jews alone.

There are other minority religions however which the mollas do perceive as a threat and if there is a Holocaust in Iran, it'll be those communities who'll pay the ultimate, tragic price.

Jews in Iran have no real freedom of thought, of speech, of liberty. They are forced to denounce their Jewish brethren in Israel to save their lives. What they say is not their real view of Israel.

The Morsadegh clan gave up their religion and converted over a hundred years ago to protect their mercantile interests.

This is most difficult to understand. Did Reuters News Agency call up Morsadegh and ask his opinion or did Morsadegh call Reuters? Since Siamal Morsadegh is about to be a member of the Iranian parliament does that mean he supports Iran's nuclear toys? And would this inhibit/prevent a global reaction to stopping Iran from launching their nuclear wares when and or if they devise them? All I keep hearing and reading is confusion and chaos the world over.
