And yet the duration, reality, and conclusion of this 'thriving' are not within our capacities of knowing.
Supposing you do believe that Judea is destined to inherit all that it's said it will: callous gloating will not not make that a speedier, more pleasant, or ultimately satisfying experience.
As far as I know the principles of Judaism are completely in accord with the concept of Karma - Jews are no exception to the law. In fact they're more bound by it, if anything.
That said, my point about anti-Israelism was precisely that the rhetoric comes from Tehran. Where the government is. Iran is not a monolith, it is not a person. It is a geographical delimitation of land, which a despotic cadre now rules. That they squash anyone who dares dissent from that rhetoric should be all the more reason to have sympathy. Not for ayatollah, for what you might call the populace.
Let's see how you enjoy gloating when you see the results of radiation poisoning trickle out into the media. And the subsequent backlash, which I assure you will not be confined to Iran.
The 'accident' was a necessity. Don't waste an opportunity for humility. Ayatollah will be fine and will use the populace's suffering to what advantage he can.
When two elephants fight it is the grass that suffers, necessary or not.
