I sometimes think of the irony (Irany) that this is all happening because 3,000 years ago the Persian Emperor took mercy on a battered and terrorized people, freed them from the Assyrians and allowed them to return home to the land that was taken from them by invaders.
I wonder what Cyrus the Great would think if he was told that after countless generations, that these people he saved would become the mortal enemies of his people.
It's so strange for a people whose identity is built on Bronze Age fantasies, that they don't even remember the first superpower they relied on for their "right to exist". If it wasn't for the Iranians, there'd be no Jews, no Judaism, they'd all have been lost to time like hundreds of other peoples.

Herzel had an easy time convincing his peers that Zionism was their only hope, their savior.

Tbf actually he didn't. It was a struggling project with minimal support (they hadn't even filled their immigration quota prior to WW2 besides agitating constantly for limitless immigration) until after he was dead and Nazis decided to Nazi.
Ironically, after being pretty cool with the Zionists as fellow fascist nationalists.

The sad thing is the Jewish people was punished in 70 AD Jesus himself predicted the destruction of the temple. They have been hijacked by the zionists. And to re establish Jewish statehood created by man not God. It is why most Orthodox Jews do not support the war or Netanyahu. Orthodox Jews have visited the Iranian government on many occasions. Iranian government many times have stated Jews are friends of Iran.

Or we can blame political Zionism which is about 150 years old created by self hating Jews and gentile antisemites and the absolute antithesis to everything Judaism stands for

This is the video. Below is the text from Middle East Eye - Nov 18, 2024
“Netanyahu and his regime, along with Israel's western enablers, have unleashed the machinery of death and destruction in the region.”
In a video message addressing Jewish people around the world, Iran’s vice president of foreign affairs, Mohammad Javad Zarif, criticised Netanyahu’s government for “killing Iran’s nuclear deal”.
Javad also said that Israel’s “terrorist regime" cannot represent “Judaism, a divine Abrahamic religion”.

In 2018 In a video clip aired by Israeli television and reported by the times of Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu boasted that Israel was responsible for US President Donald Trump's decision to quit the Iran nuclear deal.

If the current Iranian government was less reprehensible, the message would have more gravitas. Now it just feels like the two Spiderman meme.

Fuck this clown. There’s an active demographic change in Syria’s cities because of Iranian hegemony
Hypocritical clown

Iran doesn't even remotely have hegemony in the ME though they might wish it. They're intergrating themselves into any group still independant of the West to cling on for dear life.
