Iranian Jews oppose Gaza operation
Iran Jewish community condemns the human rights violations of the Palestinians in the Gaza strip by the Zionists and is grieved by this occurrence. There is no reason for the campaign of death being undertaken by Israeli soldiers to kidnap Palestinian government members and bomb population centers.
We are aware that these actions are in no way related to principles of the Jewish faith, the precepts of Moses or the holy books. They are antithetical to the Jewish faith. We condemn this violent behavior by Israeli leaders and are sure that the Palestinian nation will firmly defend its right to exist and its other legitimate and natural rights. We deplore this aggressive behavior and are sure that it will exacerbate the situation with each passing day. Behavior such as this may lead to bloodshed among blameless men and women and among innocent children.
We call upon Jews around the globe to speak out to the world in protest against the behavior of the soldiers and the Israeli leaders. It is the mission of Jews, more than any other people, to prevent a policy that tramples upon the humane tenets of the Jewish tradition.
Morris Motamed, Jewish Member in Parliament Harun Yashayaie, Chairman of Tehran Jewish Committee |
