How Ancient Is the Jewish Presence in Iran?​

The Jewish presence in Iran is among the oldest continuous Jewish communities in the world, with roots that historians trace back more than two millennia.

Over the centuries, Jewish communities developed in various parts of the Iranian plateau, including cities such as Hamadan, Shiraz, Isfahan, and Tehran. These communities participated in trade, scholarship, and local cultural life across different Persian dynasties and empires.

Persian Jewish history is intertwined with the broader history of the region. Jewish communities lived under the Achaemenid, Parthian, and Sassanian empires, as well as under later Islamic dynasties that ruled the region.

The deep historical roots of Jews in Iran mean that the community is often described not simply as a diaspora population but as an indigenous part of Iran’s historical and cultural landscape.

Even as political systems changed, Jewish communities remained embedded in local societies, developing Persian-Jewish cultural traditions and religious institutions that endured for centuries.

Kind of kills the lie that Muslisms seek to exterminate all Jews doesn't it. You should also mention that there are over 100 synagogues in Iran, although some of those have probably been blown up by the Israelis by now.

Another nice Jewish boy infiltrated the IRGC ... in 1979.

With Zionists, it's really the opposite. It's funny how 9/11 made the United States into the perfect tool for that. Makes you wonder who was really behind it.

Makes you wonder.

But you're a pos leftist and your guys are out of power. :)
 
It's funny

That's the proof of your perfidy. You laugh at the deaths of 9-11 and find it funny.

Personal conclusion:

POS leftist. :thup:
 
Actually I voted for Trump three times and you're just a brainwashed phuk! 🙂

Actually, you are a liar and liars can say anything regardless of truth.

Your words prove you out.

Why do your words prove you out?

Because they have no factual evidence. :blues:

Seems like 9 out of 10 persons who use the term "Zionists" in place of Jews or Israel seem to have swallowed this whole;

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is an antisemitic hoax and forgery purporting to detail a Jewish plot for global domination. Largely plagiarized from several earlier sources, it was first published in Imperial Russia in 1903, translated into multiple languages, and disseminated internationally in the early part of the 20th century. It played a key part in popularizing belief in an international Jewish conspiracy.

The text was exposed as a work of black propaganda by the British newspaper The Times in 1921 and by the German newspaper Frankfurter Zeitung in 1924. Beginning in 1933, distillations of the work were assigned by some German teachers, as if they were factual, to be read by German schoolchildren throughout Nazi Germany. It remains widely available in numerous languages, in print and on the Internet, and continues to be presented by antisemitic groups as a genuine document. It has been described as "probably the most influential work of antisemitism ever written".
...

Nazism was never extinguished, it has revived as anti-Zionism.

Actually, no I'm not. I've never voted for a Democrat in my life. But brainwashed phuks like you can keep trying to convince yourself of that if it makes you happy. 🙂 Or you can go back to all my posts just prior to the 2016, 2020 and 2024 elections and see....but you won't. Because you're a brainwashed phuk and you want to stay that way. 😆

9 out of 10 posters here who have the following for their "About"/"Profile" tend to be phony, or liar, or troll, or all the above.
Makes them suspect as hiding something disingenuous, at least.

Oops! We ran into some problems.​

Hard to check posts prior to 2020 when you joined "Aug 18, 2020"
Not that you fib, or dis-inform, or toss out pravda, or .... :rolleyes:

Yeah thanks for your good work, Robin....but I've known about it for decades. Who said I think that publication was anything other propaganda? I dont refer to Zionists in place of Jews. I refer to Zionists as Zionists. Not all Nazis were German. Not all Germans were Nazis. And the same fundamental truth applies to Zionists and Jews. That's my belief. If you disagree, that's really too bad. You can "fake news" me all you want, idiot.

Well you can still check the other two years! Actually, the very reason I joined USMB in the first place was because leftist liberal biased Yahoo kept sabotaging my pro-Trump anti-liberal anti-Hillary anti-leftist posts. Joining USMB was a direct response to the liberal/leftist propaganda and censorship that went over the top when Trump first was elected. But if you want to remain a brainwashed phuk and convince yourself that's all a lie, that's fine. 😃 Run along, now.

There's about 10K Jews left in Iran. I would expect that number to drop to approximately 0 after the Israel-Iran war is over.
