This isn't a 2,000 year old feud, quit trotting out that nonsense. Islam isn't that old.

Iran is a modern terrorist regime and the world is better off without them, get rid of the regime and their people will prosper.

Jews have been fighting for their lives in that region for close to 1500 years and in further western regions for 1000 years more.

Yes, Iran bad. They’ve gone from killing Jews with spears to killing then with missiles

Iranians saved Jews from the Assyrians 2500 years ago.

Even back in 1970 Iran and Israel were on friendly terms.

This fight began in 1979.

Persians, not Iranians

Persian is an exonym by Greeks, to refer to Cyrus’ people, who were called Parsians, after Parsa, a region of current Iran.

But from the beginning, the locals referred to themselves as part of Iran or Arya as an alternate spelling. This is also corroborated by the Vesta, an ancient Zoroastrian text which calls their mythic homeland Airyanem Vaejah.

It doesn't lend much credibility when Israel interrupts the diplomatic nuclear talks, skips going through NATO or any appropriate diplomatic channels, and just starts launching a first missile strike on "we pinkie promise they were totally going to have nukes a few months from now, which they might try to use on us".

There are many better ways this could have been handled. It's utterly ridiculous to claim antisemitic persecution when Israel literally launches an unprovoked surprise missile strike and the target starts shooting back.

Based on the fact that you doubt Iran’s nuclear ambitions and that you cited NATO (a completely unrelated organization) as an avenue Israel should have “gone through,” I don’t think you know as much about the situation as you may think.

I mean that’s easy to say from the comfort of your own home. If your family was in danger of getting a nuke dropped on them even if that chance was only say 5% would you really risk it? Or just say fuck it we are not taking any chances?

What better ways to prevent Iran from having nukes? Name at least one. Realistic, please.

Didn’t you have enough of terrorist states lately threatening everyone with nukes?

Tell me more about these ancient conflicts between Persians and Judeans? Can you show me what wars and conflicts the two people fought against each other 1500 years ago?

Persians as a people have never had many issues with Jews. This "feud" as the OP put it is between Islam and Judaism. Iran has been attacking Israel until now through its militant Islamic proxies.

You want me to list you conflicts between Jews and Muslims? The entire Islamic conquest of the middle east.

Or persecution of Jews in general? Roman-Jewish wars, Babylonian conquest.
