Israel is correctly considered an enemy by most members of the regime I'd assume given that Israel tried and is still trying to turn the country into a failed state, but I don't think that translates into beef with Jews. Iran has a small but not nonexistent Jewish population and at least officially they don't have a problem with Jews. Besides, the idea that the regime in Iran is a guarantor for conflict and not fucking Netanyahu (or his major competitor who is also a "security" hawk) is frankly laughable.

Their allies motto is:"God is great, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse the Jews, Victory to Islam"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarkha
And whats Israels motto? Isnt it "may your village burn" as they jump up and down or beat old ladies, children, aid workers and journalists to death? Or something about "kill every Amalek", where Amalek is whoever they say on a day to day basis?
Israel will reep what it has sown and thats israels problem. We owe them nothing and never did. They have wildly interfered in US poliitics and are guilty of a massive amount of spying and theft in the US. They should feel extremely lucky we dont initiate military action against them.
Okay TIL. The article about Jews in Iran paints a somewhat better picture.
It's a very difficult situation with both(many) sides appearing willing the influence the facility and bias of the news cycle.
I would generally advise listening to many, expert sources that are extremely factual and try to understand and highlight motives and goals. A one sided view usually is tainted by propaganda. Even the Russian war of expansion/aggression against Ukraine has sensible motives for the people in charge.
Or don't. Better for the mentals. Just distrust everyone, in particular the people railing against Jews. A lot of people still harbor deeply antisemitic sentiment below a veneer of factual criticism of Israel. Islamophobia is a giant problem too, but people are more openly hateful there.
I wish I knew a solution to improve the factuality of the conversation on Lemmy and social media at large.
You're absolutely right. Which is one more reason why it's important that the left acts strongly against the Israeli state, based on a principled commitment against genocide and apartheid, instead of leaving the right to occupy that space and allowing them to redirect legitimate grievances into antisemitism.
All the reputable experts say israel is committing genocide
I did not contest that.
Israel motto is the whole Middle East is our and we will exterminate you all whatever you resist or not
I didn't agree or disagree with that motto. If you consider the eradication of Israel to be the only path that's... Not ok but what can I do about that.
Also that's not really the motto of Israel. You are mixing accusations with fact. Their Realpolitik does give worry and is genocidal in part, but that's not really the point I was trying to make.
That's Israel's motto. Everybody knows about greater Israel, and Israel is already executing that plan. They are continuing the genocide in Gaza; they are still terror-bombing Lebanon. Furthermore, they are constantly attacking Syria (which hasn't shot a single bullet at Israel since the fall of Al-Assad): they are already threatening Turkey.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Am_Yisrael_Chai
Am Yisrael Chai (Hebrew: עַם יִשְׂרָאֵל חַי [am jisʁaˈʔel χaj] ⓘ; lit. 'The People of Israel Live')
That does not translate to what you are zealously claiming. Your claims about terror bombing and constant attacks on Syria overplay the facts. You are spreading misinformation and may be a victim of said misinformation.
They did bomb and attack both Syria and Lebanon, but not in a deeply terroristic mindset at large. They appear to be in the process of ceding control to the Lebanese government. It's a grand old mess.
God gave this land to us; we were promised it 3000 years ago. That is Israel's real motto. The idf terrorists go into Syrian land and kidnap civilians, why is that not considered terrorism? They are so prepared to give back control to Lebanon by killing Lebanese soldiers?
You are confidently spreading information that is false. You adding accusations and actions of people as opposed to fact to support your heartfelt claim does not further your point.
All my information is accurate
