    Iran has a right to exist

    When the Council of Rabbis falls and the population of enslaved Zionists is liberated and allowed to return to their native countries, Iran will be greated as a liberator.

      tf? What ‘native countries’ do you think exist to people that have been citizens of a different sovereign country since at least 1948? Will they return to Czechoslovakia? Or maybe Yugoslavia?

      I’m also sure that the Austro-Hungarian Empire would be chomping at the bit to restore citizenship. Someone tell the Ottomans that the Habsburgs are on the march again.

        Nearly half of all Israeli Jews are descended from immigrants from the European Jewish diaspora. Approximately the same number are descended from immigrants from Arab countries, Iran, Turkey and Central Asia. Over 200,000 are of Ethiopian and Indian-Jewish descent.

          1. A 2019 estimate suggested that about 10 percent of Israelis held more than one passport

          Source: https://www.dualcitizenshipreport.org/dual-citizenship/israel/

          1. Population is Israel roughly 9.5m. Rough math = 1m with dual citizenships. Add another mill (or even better, 2m) that could qualify for another passport.

          What do you want to do with the remaining few (only 6m or so) that have no grounds to qualify for another citizenship?

          I don’t want my sarcasm to be overlooked. Your core argument is that someone’s ethnicity should be enough for then to ‘fall back on’ should their country cease to exist. And further, that they would congratulate the party responsible for invalidating their country. That’s a stupid and petty argument.

            They can also remain in Palestine and live alongside native Palestinians or return to their home countries under the right of return.

            The point is that ethnic jews would no longer have the exclusive right of self-determination in Palestine.

            Establish Right of Return in host nations through UN treaty. In the meantime, they can take advantage of our - as I am told - overly generous refugee system.
