Gulf monarchies reject ‘provocative’ Iran talks idea

How so? A great portion of the current Jews and Israelis likewise are Sephardic Jews and native to Israel. Many Ashkenazi Jews might not be of Jewish ancestry originally but they are not Zionists hence why there is no need to oppose them. In my time on this forum I have always stressed that I have absolutely no problems with Jews apart from Zionists and last time I checked far from 99 percent of them are that. I have even stated that Arabs and Jews have common ties whether both like it or not. Or the simple fact that they are both Semitic people.

The same counts for Iranians and Jews. We have a history with them.

Not as old as that of the Arabs and you are neither neighbors or fellow Semitic people. Also the Israeli/Palestine issues is a Arab/Israeli issue more than anything else since it transcends religion. I am of the firm believe that Arab/Jewish relations would have been very good as in the past where the greatest Jewish diaspora was found in Arab lands from Yemen in the South to Morocco in the West (where they all enjoyed protection and flourished under Islamic rule) while most Jews were persecuted in Europe and killed for simple being Jews. Moreover Sephardic Jews and Arabs have a common history in Spain since both people were forced to flee Al-Andalus.

Numerous testimonies from Palestine confirm that Arab and Jews lived happily together and the eldest generation of Jews (those who experienced history before 1947) all confirm that.

But the Europeans were playing games with the Middle East and the Americans later followed.

We freed them from Babylonian captivity, helped them with building their temple and even influenced them on religious matters. Judaism, Christianity and Islam have many elements from Zoroastrianism. Our cultural relations are one of the strongest in the world.

Before that they had ties with Arabs and even many ancient Kingdoms adopted Judaism as the state religion. The fact that Arabs and Jews are from the same branch (both Semitic), ancient neighbors and have common ancestral, cultural, linguistic and even religious ties (what is more important than all this) with each other more than anyone else pretty much testifies to the ancient relation. Moreover the biggest Jewish diaspora was in Arab lands and Jews once inhabited large parts of the Arabian Peninsula. This is even described in various sources - religious and non-religious.

Anyway nobody has said anything about Jewish-Iranian relationship nor was that the topic of discussion.

Historical nonsense. Jews don't see you people as brothers.

 

[al-Hasani]

Says that guy who invents history on his own. Nor do any Jew consider an Iranian a "brother". Nor has I ever said that Jews consider Arabs as brothers today or anybody else for that matter. I don't think they consider any non-Jew as their brother. All I am saying is that Jews and Arabs have the closest ties be it ancestral, linguistic, religious, cultural etc for obvious reasons. None of this can be said about Iranians. It's not even debatable. Both are ancient neighbors, fellow Semitic people and the traditional Jewish diaspora in the Arab world was always more influential and significant than the Iranian.

Alone the Yemeni Jewish diaspora is bigger than that of Iran. And that's just one Arab country out of many.

Iran still has the largest Jewish minority in the Middle-East.

 

[al-Hasani]

Really? I thought that Israel itself had more Jews than Iran but I guess 7 million Jews settled in Iran while I was writing this message. Amazing.

And what has that to do with anything? It does not change anything I have said or the reality of that.

There are 5-10 times as many Jews from Arab lands than Jew from Iran alive in this very moment. Like that statement has any significance on what I have been mentioning (ancestral, cultural, linguistic, religious, geographical ties). Things that are common knowledge.
