I’ve Been Thinking:
In the backs of the minds of those who are planning and analyzing an Israeli strike on Iran is this question --- what will happen to the 23,000 - 25,000 Jews still living in Iran?
This is one of the huge questions that rests on the shoulders of Israeli decision makers.
Iran’s Jews have a history dating back 2,700 years. They are one of the oldest Jewish communities in the world. Today they live either in the city of Teheran or Shiraz.
In the year 2000, thirteen Iranian Jewish Hebrew teachers were arrested for spying. After years of persecution the case was dropped.
Iranian leadership has options. They could arrest Jews as they have done in the past. They could persecute them and arrest them on trumped up charges. They could run a smear campaign to foment public hatred and attacks against the Jews of Iran. They can forbidden the practice and teaching of Judaism.
A military attack is much more than a mere tactical and strategic maneuver.
