Iran-Jewish Community

Iranian Jewish community on Tuesday refuted Israeli offer for the Jews to go to the occupied Palestinian territories in return for money.


Leaders of the Iranian Jewish Community, Siamak Marreh-Sedgh and Member of Parliament from the Jewish society Morris Mo'tamed said in a strongly worded statement that Iranian Jewish citizens will never exchange their identity with money.

The western media had reported that Israel offered dlrs 60,000 reward for attracting Iranian Jewish families to the occupied lands of Palestine.

But Iranian Jewish people do not show any interest in immigration to the occupied territories of Palestine for the reason of enjoying full religious freedom in Iran.

Recently an Israeli agency reported a fall in level of Jewish immigration to the occupied territories of Palestine.

The statement said that Iranian Jews are of the oldest Iranians and love their pure culture and Iranian identity.

They also noted that political threats or bribing never have been successful in changing the identity of the Iranian Jews.
