Many times you have told us here that your NOT religious, that you are an atheist.
who owned the land 2000 years ago has little to do with driving people off the land they where born on, so people can move in from Russia, and deny the inhabitants not only the right to be citizens of the new country, due to their religion, which is racism
in fact Palestinians are persecuted by the very people who complained of being..persecuted
Some Jewish people don't want to go there even for money
Quote:
Offers ranging from 5,000-30,000 British pounds, financed by a wealthy expatriate Jew with the support of the Israeli government, were turned down by Iran's Jewish leaders, the Guardian reported. Instead, the country's Jews pledged their loyalty to Iran.
"The identity of Iranian Jews is not tradeable for any amount of money," the Society of Iranian Jews said in a statement. "Iranian Jews are among the most ancient Iranians. Iran's Jews love their Iranian identity and their culture, so threats and this immature political enticement will not achieve their aim of wiping out the identity of Iranian Jews."
Iran's Jewish population is the largest of any country in the Middle East besides Israel.
