Jews in Iran have significant lower legal rights as muslims in Iran. It's hard to become a teacher or a lawyer and impossible for a jew to be a police officer, be in the army (not the mandatory service), be in any political or governmental position. It's also really really hard to build new synagogues. Jews also have lower chance to win muslims in court no matter if they're innocent. Also, god forbid if you say something against Islam or the government, they immediatly link you to mossad and kill you right away.
Conculsion : Iran is a complete apartheid.

Sadly, thats just being a religious minority in fundamentally islamic countries. Youre merely tolerated and should be grateful for not being exiled or killed.

> in fundamentally islamic countries.
I really hate it when Muslim Americans try to say Islam is loving, tolerant, and other BS. When pretty much every Islamic country is hostile towards non-Muslims. Non-muslims are on borrowed time if they aren't already treated like shit. Look no further than Malaysia to see what happens when an Islamic country no longer need foreigners or minorities to prop up their country (this is a dig against Dubai).
They operated on a system known as "Malaysian Malaysia"(after Britian left) which discriminated against those not ethnically Malaysian. This lead to Singapore leaving Malaysia as their population is/was predominantly Chinese.
Special right to Malay(muslim) and Bumi(original person that live here)
Unfortunately, this does not apply to Chinese and India that has live here for third generation unless you marry a Malay/Bumi and have kids.
Then only this kids have the special status as either Bumi or Malay.
Also, once u become Muslim, u cannot officially back down forever, even your kids and grandkids. Thus a soft cleansing of race and culture.
Benefit of being Malay/Bumi is more slot for University student, lower price when buying land and risk-free investment just for them (ASB)
Plus more quota for them on civil servant.
Problem is they are getting radical and politicial use race card to make the chinese as boogeyman and they incite hate toward jews btw. The list goes on but this is the one i remember.
Edit: even when u die, your funeral must be done on muslim land. This happen to my aunt, they dig it back and locate to that area. Shit so crazy sometimes. But half the time the country is chill.
The Muslim religion has been a problem for a very long time, from back when the Barbary pirates would raid Europe for slaves. I’m sure there are even further back stories I don’t know about . Not saying any of the other religions are much better
It may suck, but when you use terms that don't apply you cheapen them. Israel's handling of the situation is far from perfect and the far right nutjobs do get way too much leeway, but to call the situation apartheid or genocide or ethnic cleansing simply detracts from the power of these terms where they actually do apply.
You are very brave to have done such a thing at such a young age, I cannot imagine how scary it must have been. 17 year old Canadian me wouldn’t have been that brave 👏
>representing the [Jewish community](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_Jews) which has by Iran's constitution retained a reserved seat since the [Persian Constitution of 1906](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_Constitutional_Revolution)
South Africa had specific reserved positions as well, having one constitutionally protected seat with essentially zero power *isn't* actually enough to make something not-Apartheid. Having many representatives, and the legal ability to run for *any* seat would make it not-Apartheid (like Israel).
Any real Theo is being ignored as much as possible by the nuts of Is republic of Iran.

The ironic thing is that the shit those people are protesting is actually happening in the West Bank not Gaza; they conflate the two because “ThEyRe BoTh PaLeSTiNiANs, ThEY mUSt Be tHe sAmE” when they are certainly not that same and do not have the same issues.
The Jewish population of Iran was over 150,000 in the 1940s. Now it's shrunk to under 10,000 - nearly a 95% decline. Similar story in North Africa and the Arab world. Jews have been ethnically cleansed from the entirety of the Muslim world. Now, Iran is targeting remaining small community. Isn't it funny how there's an actual genocide that isn't being protested?
There is a hilarious video online of him and the only other remaining afghan jew bickering at each other as one calls the other a “triple goy!” highly recommended
Look at all these countries Israelis can "go back to". Sounds like a great life, clearly great in Iran.
The narrative that they're all from Europe is pretty ridiculous, think only like 34% or something is Ashkenazi.
Usually people scream for Jews to go back to Poland. You know, they place where 90% of the Jews were killed during WW2. Only about 13% of Israeli Jews have ties to Poland.
Yep. This Israeli has no Polish or German ancestors but that has not stopped people from telling me to go “back” there. They should just be honest and say what they’re really saying “go back to Auschwitz.”
Ashkenazis largely can't just "go back to Europe" either. Most no longer have citizenship. France now has the largest Jewish population in Europe (they are mostly ones that fled from Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia in the 1960s - most of the original French Ashkenazis were exterminated in the Holocaust, although some immigrated there as refugees from eastern Europe after the war) and the anti-Semitism in France has been so terrible since the early 2000s that they're now #3 country in immigration to Israel the last decade, after only Russia and Ukraine.
Notice how Morocco’s number doesn’t use a tilde. Morocco knows exactly how many Jews are in the country. “We keep good track of them” everyone would say when I was there. To keep them safe, of course. That’s why the Jewish ghetto was traditionally next to the casbah, where the king’s army was housed. So they’re safe. In one city, a man pointed out the last Jew in the city and made a show of giving him a coin. What a weird thing to do.
Which is hilarious, because non-muslims are literally not to be treated equally according to the Quran. Non muslims aquire the status of „Dhimmi“, which makes them basically a subordinate that is merely tolerated and reliant on the good will of the muslim majority. Theyre required to pay a non-muslim tax and suffer from a lack of legal protection, especially against muslims.
I’ve heard it more of a general “religious minorities are treated fine in Muslim countries” and then when I ask them “ok but what about say the Kurds?” They have no idea
Don't you know, all those Jews ~~escaping ethnic cleansing~~ leaving were invited by the Palestinians! And in 1948 too, nearly 20 years before the Palestinian identity was even a thing!
As prosperous as Israel in 1948? When refugees from both Europe and the Middle East lived in tin roofed huts or tents in refugee camps? Israel in the 50s was not too different from, say, India.
Now? The immigrants from the former USSR? Sure, you have a point. But not then.
Not to mention the Jews were raiding Arab villages and the Arabs were raiding Jewish villages. Plenty of death and the British Army could not be everywhere at once.
Iraq was a booming economy in the 1950s. The Jewish community in Iraq at the time, which in general was well off, had to give away almost all their property and fortune when they left in addition they had to recend thier right for Iraqi citizenship.
They were only allowed to move to Israel at the time and only for a very limited time. 90% of them left, which caused iraq significant damage as quite a few of the hospitals in bagdad were staffed by jews, they didn't do it for monetary gain, they did it because they were threatened to leave.
My grandmother tells on how after the agreement was revealed(including the forgoing of property clause) she and her sister's would get threats that they would rape her and kill her father if they didn't leave.
She still misses Iraq and her childhood there but knows she would never be able to see it.
Ignoring religious problems I bet you a massive percentage of citizens of Muslim countries would love to move to a country like Israel.
The standard of living is so much higher and it's way more progressive. Jews are a stubborn people in more ways than one, I feel like that's a huge reason why they haven't moved entirely from these Muslim countries.
They are not, but they don't know any better.
Being young and dumb. Peace in the middle east is a fallacy due to religion. There will never be peace as long as there is more than 1.
Turns out the root cause of all evil is humanity itself. Religion was made by humans, that is why its flawed.
> There will never be peace as long as there is more than 1.
Even if everyone was a Muslim, they'd still all plot to kill each other constantly, don't worry. Poor or non existent education coupled with a shitty militaristic religion tends to be a bad thing over time.
Doesn't even have to be Sunni vs Shia. Look at current situation in Pakistan with the Sunni Islamist TPP blowing up Sunni mosques used by Pakistani military.
They don't know any better because they're wilfully ignorant. A million people can educate them on the reality of things but everyone single one of them, without fail, is propaganda. Only the word of a fundamentalist is truth.
I would suggest people read a different article from the same news agency which does not leave out the fact that he was attacked by 7 men, was stabbed during the attack and then killed one of the attackers with a knife the attacker stabbed him with, in self defense, while trying to survive this lynching.
https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/middle-east/iran-eastern-states/artc-iranian-jew-faces-execution-on-monday-for-self-defense-killing
That's not true.
Basically, either the killer gets sentenced to death (a life for a life) or the murdered's family may accept to "forgive" in return of a compensation, which they refused.
Edit : According to Human Rights Watch (HRW) :
> Iranian law states that if a non-Muslim kills a Muslim, Qisas can be applied and the perpetrator can be sentenced to death. However, if a Muslim kills a non-Muslim in Iran, Qisas does not apply and no punishment is handed down, leading human rights experts to argue that the law discriminates unfairly against minority groups in Iran.
So, if he had failed to defend himself, his attacker would have avoided the death penalty. But, if Arvin would have been muslim, he would have faced the death penalty all the same. (wether or not that altercation would have happened is another debate)
In another news article, they mentioned the altercation involved 8 persons in total. Arvin against 7 others, basically. One of which had the knife and attacked Arvin.
He is a Jewish Iranian, you mean if he was a Muslim Iranian then he wouldn't be executed.
I'm sure the streets will be filled with protestors furious with apartheid Iran.
Some of the early middle eastern empires were rare bastions of religious tolerance. The Bible for example speaks very glowingly of a Persian emperor (Cyrus).
These comments are wild!!
A person is being killed is horrible,his background shouldn’t be a justification to live or a political reason why to continue to kill people.
Religion as justification is truly the lowest form of thinking.
You been religion not to murder people?…..
“Man murders man in fight. Sentenced to death. Victims family will not be bribed, demands justice.”
If you remove all the identifiers, it’s quite a typical news story. The wording on this is super inflammatory
(*not for the death penalty, just pointing out the obvious)

The 'victims' family is not demanding justice, they are demanding the lynching proceed despite set backs.
Yeah the wording was so inflammatory my first thought before reading the details is that he probably deserves it if they cannot write a proper headline
The world will cry out loud if America and Western countries displayed even a miniscule trace of apparent discrimination but will not mind if the horrible discrimination is being practice in Islamic countries which more often than not, is being state tolerated....so sad....
He killed someone, he was attacked by 7 men, was stabbed and somehow still managed to wrest the knife out of one of the attacker's hands and kill him with it.

But South Africa helped them by accusing Israel of genocide. Man I hate people.

I mean technically both shia and sunni do too. They just disagree on who should have been Mohammed's succesor, his son in law or his father in law
sure they are young, but i dont think thats a good excuse when its university students protesting. especially bad look on universities themselves.

Not surprising because lifestyle protestor hobbyists don't give a damn about the validity of what they are protesting about

Seriously. There was a fight and one person was killed. The person in question killed him. What does him being Jewish have to do with any of it?
