Although Rouhani’s charm offensives might be met with scepticism, I don’t think he is quite up there with Hitler.

It’s looking a lot like Ezekiel 38 is on the horizon. Verse 5 and all that.

Anyone hear Obama’s remarks on the Jewish holiday? I think not.

We Jews say “Next Year in Jerusalem” as a statement of solidarity with our religious brethren already there.

However, the Israeli Defense Forces have, according to one of Harry Reid’s sources, sent Yabaddabadoo Rhouhani a new greeting:

It goes like this.

“NEXT YEAR IN TEHERAN”!

In the King James

Verse 8 - Latter Years
Verse 16 - Latter Days

Verse 5:

Put - Libya
Persia - Iran
House of Togarmah - Turkey

Magog - Many of us believe that to be Russia with Magog’s descendants settling north of the Black Sea.

Ethiopia - some believe the ancient land is now where Sudan is.


Ezekiel 38 KJV:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zuYCM0g2kc

Ezekiel 38 King James Version (KJV)

1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:

6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.

7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.

8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.

9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.

10 Thus saith the Lord God; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:

11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,

12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?

14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?

15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:

16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.

What does it say when the head of Iran is more congenial to the Israeli Jews than POTUS is to American Christians?

Unlike the rest of the Moslem world, Jews are allowed to live and worship in Iran. They are opposed to Israel for "winning popularity among Arabs", but it gets them no beanie points at home. And even the most vociferous anti-Israeli Irani nutjobs are not anti-Jews-in-Iran

For those who are anti-Iran, remember that the Saudis etc. don't even allow a Jew to live or visit their lands.

Persian Jews
At the end of the discussion, Khomeini declared that "We recognize our Jews as separate from those godless, bloodsucking ***."[49] and issued a fatwa decreeing that the Jews were to be protected.[50]

Current status in Iran

Iran's Jewish community is officially recognized as a religious minority group by the government, and, like the Zoroastrians and Christians, they are allocated one seat in the Iranian Parliament. Siamak Moreh Sedgh is the current Jewish member of the parliament, replacing Maurice Motamed in the 2008 election. In 2000, former Jewish MP Manuchehr Eliasi estimated that at that time there were still 60,000–85,000 Jews in Iran; most other sources put the figure at 25,000.[56] The United States State Department estimated the number of Jews in Iran at 20,000–25,000 as of 2009

On December 16, 2014, authorities in Tehran unveiled a monument to slain Iranian Jewish soldiers who died during the country's long and bitter war with Iraq between 1980 and 1988. Banners showed the images of fallen soldiers, hailed as "martyrs" in Farsi and Hebrew inscriptions. "We are not tenants in this country. We are Iranians, and we have been for 30 centuries,” said Ciamak Moresadegh, the Iranian Jewish parliamentarian. "There is a distinction between us as Jews and Israel,” added a shopkeeper in the historic city of Isfahan. "We consider ourselves Iranian Jews, and it has nothing to do with Israel whatsoever. This is the country we love."

No one is calling the conditions ideal for Irani Jews, but they can live and worship without threat of molestation.

Compare this to Jews in

And these are US "allies"!

there are NEXT TO NO synagogues in any Arab country -- the Sunnis demolished them all. In contrast There are quite a lot of synagogues in Iran -- why do you demonise the Iranis when the Arabs are worse?

There is a difference between not allowing Jews in your land (Saudi) vs calling for the Genocide of a race (Iran).

Are your REALLY supporting IRAN as a paragon of tolerance?

Really?

You should re-examine what is in your thinking about Jews that drives you to defend a country like IRAN.
