> they can then just go and progrom all the Jews in Israel If that's really Iran's intent, how do you explain that ~10,000 Jews live peacefully in Iran?

Boycott. Divestment. Sanctions.

Do you plan to do that to any other Countries in the Middle East? Saudi Arabia's human rights record all good for you? Pakistan? China and the Uyghurs - mass internment camps and sterilisation of female prisoners. They get a complete pass? Antizionism is Bondi Beach. Antizionism is a hate movement.

When one is out of real arguments one resorts to mere whataboutism.

It's not just the raw suffering but also the sense of systematic oppression between groups that triggers people. Yemen or Sudan don't get nearly enough attention because most people find those conflicts harder to understand in terms of "good and evil" than the Israel-Palestine conflict.

You kind of went around my question but I appreciate the insight, that's new to me.

When there used to be a community of 100k Jews in Iran? In other words more than 90% driven out after the revolution? Prominent Jewish figures and businessmen - most notably Habib Elghanian - were arrested on fabricated charges of espionage and were executed. Community members were forced to closely monitor their actions and maintain a quiet public presence. Down to 10% in 50 years - and in hiding basically - that's your benchmark for Arab tolerance of Jewish minorities? How are the Christians doing in the Middle East? The Yezidis? The Baha'is? The reason middle eastern Muslims hate the Jews so much is simply that they won't bow down. Won't allow their women to be turned into sex slaves with impunity. And have built themselves a successful western country.
