Iranian Jews decry Israeli atrocities against Palestinians

“Do not kill in our name”

TEHRAN- Members of the Iranian Jewish community in various provinces including Tehran, Shiraz, Isfahan, Yazd, Kermanshah, and Kurdistan held gatherings on Monday to voice their strong opposition to the criminal acts of the Israeli regime in the Gaza Strip.

In a significant show of unity and solidarity, the Jewish community joined the chorus of voices denouncing the Israeli atrocities.

They strongly condemned the brutal killing of Palestinians, especially women and children, decrying the loss of innocent lives in the ongoing conflict.

The Jewish community conveyed a clear message while expressing their grievances: “Do not kill in our name.”

The Isfahan Secretariat of Monotheistic Religions published a statement in which Isfahan’s Jewish community emphasized their devotion to real Judaism, emphasizing brotherhood and compassion in contrast to the inauthenticity and oppression inherent in Zionist ideology.

An international law professor says Western states have provided cover for Israel's lawless extremism and possible end goal of massive dispossession and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.

“By failing to advocate for a ceasefire, Western states have given a green light to Israel’s agenda of ‘collective punishment’, which might itself be grotesque cover for the regime’s end goal of massive dispossession and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people,” Richard Falk, an international law scholar who taught at Princeton University for forty years, wrote in an article published by Middle East Eye on October 2.

In another move on Monday, academics from several universities in Tehran assembled before the UN representative office to show solidarity with the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and to denounce the genocide committed by the Israeli regime against civilians.

Iranian academics brandished banners and chanted slogans against Israel and the U.S., which is endorsing the Tel Aviv regime to carry out crimes against Gazans.

On October 25, thousands of students in Tehran also protested Israel’s brutal airstrikes on Gazans. On October 22, students gathered at the University of Tehran to show sympathy for the Palestinian people.

Students throughout Iran also protested against the Israeli regime.

On October 19, a large crowd, including university students, assembled in front of the Swiss embassy in Tehran, which represents Washington’s interest section in Iran, to protest the U.S. government’s complete backing for the atrocities being committed by the Israeli regime.

Since the beginning of the conflict, the regime has only let the barest minimum of relief supplies to enter via the Rafah border crossing, which serves as Gaza’s only land connection with Egypt.

However, according to UN authorities, the assistance supplies scarcely match the enormous requirements by 2.3 million residents in the besieged coastal enclave.

The Israeli regime has been conducting a brutal battle against the Gaza Strip since October 7, when Hamas launched the largest offensive against the occupying regime.

The surprise Palestinian operation, dubbed Al-Aqsa Storm, came in response to the regime’s intensified and continuous crimes against the Palestinian people.

Over 8,000 people have died since the Israeli attack on the besieged Gaza, with women and children accounting for 70% of the casualties.
