I inactive wonder why Jews, a society so much, historically - experienced and persecuted, cannot arrange coexistence in the mediate East. The donor Israel has continued wars and...there are so only about 7 million people. Jews, despite inconveniences, do not immigrate to Israel. The war in Israel lasts more than 70 years, it is likely to continue. Is there small area in the arabian Desert for Israel and Palestine?
What's the war on Iran about?
There is inactive a judaic community in Iran, with about 8,000–10 000 people (as of early 2026), making it 1 of the largest in the mediate East outside Israel. It is an ancient community with over 2600 years of history, mostly inhabited by Tehran, Isfahan and Szyraz, where it maintains synagogues and schools.
Official status: The Iranian constitution recognizes Judaism as an authoritative spiritual minority, alongside Christianity and Zaratusztrianism.
Representation: The judaic community has a designated typical in the Iranian parliament.
Restrictions: While practicing their religion, Jews in Iran face systemic discrimination, specified as restrictions on holding advanced government positions, military service or serving as judges.
Social life and spiritual practices
Religious Infrastructure: Around 100 synagogues operate throughout the country, of which about 11–13 are active in Tehran alone.
Institutions: The community runs its own schools, kosher butchers and Dr. Sapira Charitative infirmary in Tehran – the largest charity infirmary for spiritual minorities in Iran.
Cultural facilities: There are crucial pilgrimage sites of Jews in Iran, including the Tomb of Esther and Mordecai in Hamadan and the Tomb of Daniel in Suza.
Current climate and challenges
Political context: After the 1979 Revolution, judaic leaders maintained a strict public discrimination between Judaism (which is protected) and Zionism (which is simply a crime threatened by punishment).
Judaism is an ancient monotheistic religion and judaic culture based on the Torah, while Zionism is a modern, political national movement (established in the 19th century), aiming to make and support the judaic state in Palestine. Judaism is simply a religion, and Zionism is simply a political ideology; 1 can be a hebrew without being a Zionist, and besides a Zionist without being a Jew.
Jews do not migrate to Israel primarily due to well-established, comfortable life in the diaspora, especially in North America, which offers greater economical stability, safety and lower maintenance costs. another crucial barriers include language difficulties, the request to rebuild careers, to separate families, and the reluctance to face safety challenges in Israel.
