3/16/26 Israeli Iron Dome Interception of an Iranian missile over Tel Aviv

#Mazeldon #Israel #Iran

Diaspora Jews actually have zero responsibility for what the state of Israel is doing.

If you can understand why it was bad for Americans to attack American Muslims after 9/11, and why throwing American Japanese citizens into concentration camps during WWII was bad, then you should be able to wrap your head around this, too. And hell, in both those cases, you’d at least have the “excuse” that America was directly attacked in both of those cases.

But no such excuse exists here.

If you justify ANY attack against diaspora Jews because of Israel, you are antisemitic. You are using antizionism as an excuse to support terrorism and violence against victims who did nothing to deserve it.

If this is you, then you have fallen for antisemitic propaganda. You have become a hateful, victim-blaming bigot.

(You can unlearn all of that hate though, if you want)

Shavua tov! Have a good week, everyone!

"In 1839, a violent uprising in the Iranian city of Mashhad forced the Jewish population to publicly convert to Islam. Many families continued practicing Judaism secretly for generations, becoming known as crypto-Jews. Their story is one of resilience, hidden identity and cultural survival. It's a remarkable chapter of Jewish history that remains little known outside the Persian Jewish diaspora.

Though set in the past, the story of Mashhad resonates today as conversations about Iran and its people often overlook the complexity of the country’s history and the diverse communities who have lived there."
