1. They should have left iran years ago.
jason white ,   afula, israel   (03.16.12)
Leave your house and businesses, they are not worth it to live under such crazies. Are we to sacrifice all of Israel for a few selfish people? Like they say in russian, toughski shitski.
2. If Iranians do that to the Jews
Israeli 2   (03.16.12)
Israel will occupy Iran permanently.
3. Still time for them to leave

4. If they choose to remain they have assumed the risk
Besalel ,   Great Neck, NY   (03.16.12)
The last thing Israel should care about is what will happen of the Iranian Jews in Iran. They have elected to live comfortable even affluent lives in such a place, that is fine - but they should not expect the rest of the world to sacrifice their own safety to protect the comforts the Iranian Jews choose to live with. They understand the risk of living there and if they still choose to live there they do it at their own risk.
5. Some Jews will always prefer the Galut
USA   (03.16.12)
In the words of Spock the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one or the few.

solomon ,   bklyn   (03.16.12)
How do we know what they can and cannot do? Who are we to tell them what to do? Don’t criticize until you have walked in the person’s shoes. Show some compassion for your fellow Jews.
8. Enough of warmongering hysteria ,...
split ,   US   (03.16.12)

Justin Case ,   BRASIL   (03.17.12)
12. to #7 No you show some compassion to
jason white ,   afula,israel   (03.17.12)
the Jews of Israel! We do not need another 6 million dead Jews here, because we refused to attack iran. I met Jews from iran and they said they refuse to leave their businesses and homes, Do you want to see Israel nuked,because of some selfish iranian Jews?
13. most people like to stay in their homelands, despite Islamic
occupation   (03.16.12)
its not the fault of Iranian Jews that Moslens have occupied Iran and have turned it into an Islamic state which supposedly belongs to Moslems only. Iran still belongs to Iranians, no matter what the majority fascists Moslems believe. its not the fault of Jews that Arabs have occupied many countries and by killing and forcing Jews and others have turned them into Arab countries, which they believe are supposed to be for Arab race only. Moslems can harrass you, and force you to leave so that they can occupy your lands but it is every human's rights to live when they are born.

i wouldn't put it past this despotic violent mysoginist regine to bring all the jews and FORCE them to protect the nuclear instalations in iran so that no one would bomb them. AFTER ALL, THE AYATOLLAH SENT 12,000 LITTLE CHILDREN CHAINED TOGETHER WITHE ROPES, AND GAVE THEM A FAKE GOLD PLASTIC KEY TO PARADISE AND THE REVOLUTIONARY GUARD, AFTER INDOCTRINATING THEM, RELEASED THEM TO RUN ALL OVER THE MINE FIELDS LEFT FROM THE IRAN/IRAQ WAR. with their bodies, they cleaned up all the mines left after this war which cost the iranian one million dead PLUS the innocent 12,000 youth they cinically and brutally sent to clear the mines with their young bodies. i wouldn't put anything past this abhorent terrorist regime. no conscience at all. using their own people to die for a cause. disgusting. hameed aboughaze, iranian

You are depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.
16. To #7
Eli ,   Jerusalem   (03.17.12)
Who says we are not compassionate. They are idiots to stay there. The fact that so many have left shows that it is doable. They have seen this day coming for a long long time. Let them stay if they want to but there is a consequence. I will not be blown up by an Iranian nuke because Jews decided to live with the enemy!
17. A Wiev of a Goy from Sweden.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (03.17.12)
I Quote - Many in the community, centered in Tehran and the southern city of Shiraz, are affluent merchants. Publicly, they are supportive of a system that offers them protected minority status though not equal access to certain government and military jobs and assures them a seat in the Iranian parliament. "No matter who dares to attack our country, we will stand against the threats like other Iranian people," the current Jewish lawmaker in the Iranian parliament, Siamak Merehsedq, told The Associated Press in Tehran. "The Iranian Jewish community will stand by their compatriots under any circumstance, forever." Comment - There is no Iranian Jews, only Iranians and, Jews in Iran. Let those so called Iranian Jews come to Israel and repeat this statement, it will surely be otherwise. Arn.Sweden
18. Nr 7 and 12.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (03.17.12)
Yes - it could become a Question of priority. Reality of life is somtimes that Cruel. Arn.Sweden.

moron ,   galut   (03.17.12)
no jews are safe anywhere--that is why israel must always be strong
20. The "affluent" Iranians
(03.17.12)
who don't want to leave their businesses are like the Jews in the 1930s who didn't want to leave what they had in Germany and saw themselves as Germans first and Jews second. Unfortunately, that was not the way the Germans saw them. If the Jews in Iran are determined to relive history, I can only hope they enjoy themselves.
21. still time to leave
sam ,   US   (03.17.12)
and what makes you think they want to.. ask the older generation who left many long for the good old days and ways,
22. #8 Split - That wouldn't be voluntary
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.17.12)

23. #11 Justin - NO NEED TO PREDICT
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.17.12)
it's in the history books, Persia vs Israel, that's an old story, trying reading it
24. #12 jason, #16 eli
solomon ,   bklyn   (03.17.12)
You miss my point. I am not saying Israel should hold fire because of Jews who live there. I am not saying you should not express the desire that they move to Israel. What I am saying is that the words people use should show compassion and not denigration.
25. Nr 19. I Quote -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (03.18.12)
no jews are safe anywhere-- Right !!!. - that is why israel must always be strong moron , galut (03.17.12) Without the Strong ONE in Jacob, it cant be true. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrCal6kE-r4 Arn.Sweden.
