What might be an explanation for the lack of logic behind Iran's hostility to Israel?
Since 1989 Iranian hostility to Israel has appeared to primarily source from its Supreme Leader.
Grand Ayatollah, Ali Hosseini Khamenei[a], an Iranian cleric and politician, has served as the second supreme leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran since 1989. (Wikipedia.) His hostility to Israel is made to appear as based in "Palestinian" Arab falsehood-propaganda, which asserts a land called "Palestine" stolen by the Jews from a people called "Palestinians", for which there is zero objective-historical evidence.
The Supreme Leader is also a high-ranking Islamic cleric, yet the dispute over the land of Israel is not a religious one: Rather the dispute is due to the territorial ambitions of the "Palestinian" Arabs, for which they have zero historical or legal claims.
The Jewish Temple built at the Temple Mount / Haram al-Sharif, is mentioned in the noble Quran, and is also described by it as a “Masjid” meaning “Mosque”. I have discussed this in more detail, here:
"Why it would be Un-Islamic for Muslims to oppose Israel’s right to exist":
https://www.thehebrewcafe.com/forum/show... - pid5310
The Iranian Supreme Leader must also be aware from Iranian (Persian) history that the Jews are the indigenous people of the land of Israel, and that enmity against Israel by Iran is inappropriate given that history shows Persian friendship with the Jewish people, as shown below:
Quote:'After the overthrow of Babylon by the Persians, [the Persian King] Cyrus [...] gave the Jews permission to return to Jerusalem in 537 B.C.E. [Persian year 1159 B.P / Islamic year 1194 B.H.]. The Book of Ezra reports that 42,360 [Ezra 2:64] availed themselves of the privilege [returning with Zerubbabel, Ezra 2:2], including women, children and slaves, finally completing a long and dreary journey of four months from the banks of the Euphrates to Jerusalem.'
Extract source:
Please scroll down to the heading: “The Return”, at:
https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/ent...nian_Exile
There has never been an indigenous “Palestine” / Arab sovereign state in the land of Israel upon which the “Palestinian” Arabs could base any claim to any part of Israel.
The “Palestinian Arabs” dropped the name “Arab” because they do not want you to understand they mostly originate from Foreign-Arab-Migrant-Workers who came to the land of Israel just prior to, and during the British Mandate, to take advantage of higher wages through Jewish returnee-exiles:
Quote:'[...] most Arabs in British Mandate Palestine were migrant workers and descendants of the 1832-1947 wave of Arab/Muslim immigration from Egypt, the Sudan, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Yemen, Libya, North Africa, Bosnia, India, Afghanistan, etc. While the British Mandate encouraged Arab immigration, it blocked Jewish immigration.'
Extract source:
http://theettingerreport.com/arab-migrat...n-society/
84 of 100 of the highest incidence Palestinian surnames (Palestine region in 2004), had highest incidence outside that region:
My extract source document:
“Country Origin of Palestinian Arab Surnames upd.pdf” - information source “forebears.io”:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/9d115bv6w...d.pdf/file
The Iranian Supreme Leader (and indeed no one) has any logical religious or historical reasoning in support such hostility to Israel. Therefore the only logical reasoning that can be applied, is that of anti-Semitism, a form of evil. His hatred, like that of Hitler (the Nazi German war time leader), has become an obsession, an obsession which likewise is bringing Iran to ruin, and due to which he will likely continue to seek ways to bring nuclear catastrophe to either Israel, the United States, or both.
It is therefore appropriate that he be removed, without delay.

My real name is Joseph. I've decided to study Judiasm for a change, you don't meet very many Jews out there. I'm fascinated by the customs and legends. Been reading the old testament and I really like it, especially the characters. Memorizing the sons of Jacob/Yacob, and the blessings to the different tribes of Israel.
Shalom to everyone here.

Ruling of the Sanhedrin 11 November 2024
https://www.thesanhedrin.org/en/index.ph...svhan_10_a
nformal translation from Hebrew of the Cheshvon 10, 5785, (11 November 2024) statement:
![[Image: SanhedrinLogo.png]](https://www.thesanhedrin.org/en/images/e/ef/SanhedrinLogo.png)
Sanhedrin - The Great Court of 71
Secretary: Rabbi Amnon Hever Tel: 054-9400909 b.d.hartzion@gmail.com
Ruling of the Rabbinical Court on the Matter of Aliyah to the Land of Israel'
Decision of the Mount Zion Rabbinical Court from its session on 10 Cheshvan 5785 regarding Aliyah to the Land of Israel
Peace and blessings to all Jews living in the diaspora:
We, the Rabbinical Court at Mount Zion, call upon all Jews in the diaspora to urgently ascend to the Land of Israel for the following reasons:
1. We are in the final period of the ingathering of exiles.
2. The Divine Presence has departed from the diaspora and has now permanently settled in the Land of Israel, as prophesied by the Holy One, blessed be He, through the prophet Ezekiel (36:24):
"I will take you from among the nations, gather you from all the countries, and bring you into your own land."
3. The Holy One, blessed be He, has intensified antisemitism abroad in this period to prompt Jews to quickly ascend to the Land of Israel.
4. Our sages taught that a devastating world war is imminent, and during this war, the safest place for Jews to reside will be the Land of Israel:
"For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance."
In the coming war, the lands that have oppressed and harmed the Jewish people throughout history will be particularly affected, and these lands are considered “places of danger.”
5. King Solomon stated in Proverbs (22:17):
"Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, and set your heart to my knowledge." Rashi explains: "Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise—to learn Torah from any sage. And set your heart to my knowledge—but if your teacher is wicked, do not emulate his actions (see Chagigah 15b)." Before the Holocaust, some rabbis advised against ascending to the Land of Israel, and six million Jews paid the price with their lives and the lives of their families.
Therefore, we call upon you: Hasten to ascend to the Land of Israel before calamity strikes. Save yourselves and your families, and join the spiritual and material abundance of the Land of Israel.
With blessings for the complete redemption, with mercy and joy, The Secretariat of the Rabbinical Court

Sanhedrin Call for Israeli laws to be founded on the Torah |

nformal translation from Hebrew of the 22 Kislev, 5770, (9 December 2009) statement:
![[Image: SanhedrinLogo.png]](https://www.thesanhedrin.org/en/images/e/ef/SanhedrinLogo.png)
Sanhedrin - The Great Court of 71
Secretary: Rabbi Amnon Hever Tel: 054-9400909 b.d.hartzion@gmail.com
The proper form of legislature for the Nation of Israel, a legal system founded on the Torah
Statement of the Sanhedrin
The Sanhedrin wishes to congratulate the Minister of Justice Prof. Yaakov Neeman who did a kiddush shem Shamayim[1] in public. He pointed to the proper form of legislature for the Nation of Israel: a legal system founded on the Torah, as it said by Rabbenu Saadia Gaon "our people are not a nation without the Torah".[2] In a fitting way Yaakov Neeman fulfilled the meaning of his name "Neeman" (which means faithful), and the mission of "Yaakov" (our forefather), a pure man learning in the tents. You have brought honor to your family.
The founders of the Sanhedrin formulated, shortly after its establishment, a covenant for the establishment of a Great Court based on Torah. In it was declared the principle of Torah based legal system as a living and agreed upon system of law for the Land of Israel. It called for the establishment of courts throughout the country.
Establishment of an alternative court system as noted by the Minister of Justice is urgently needed, not just civil law, but in all areas of law. Indeed there is need to coordinate norms of criminal justice penalties between the legal systems. The two systems can live in peace and coordination.
Before us, the Jewish people, there is a long way to go before a legal system of based on the Torah will be agreed upon by the general population. This process involves gentle, nurturing of the prestige of the Torah courts, intellectualizing their procedures, maintaining the order of law with the cooperation of both the religious and non-religious public. All this together with the organization of communities of observant Jews around a Torah based legal system.
[Let it be known that there is already a connection between State law, and the rulings of the Sanhedrin, we learn] from the fundamental decisions of the Sanhedrin: every law of the State of Israel, properly enacted, that does not contradict the laws of the Torah, is a valid law (according to Jewish Law).
We pray that the reverberations of the words of the Minister Neeman will open the doors of Torah, that it may shine forth.
Out of respect for the Torah, let us find ways to establish a Torah based legal system, strengthening the people of Israel, the State of Israel and the Land of Israel.
Negation of a Torah based legal system however, invalidates, G-d forbid, the legitimacy of the Jewish State. Such a negation, obviously endangers our present and continued existence, and existence in the future even more.
Justice Rabbi Prof. Hillel Weiss - Speaker of the Court
Justice Rabbi Dov Stein - Secretariat

Thus any action by a Jew that brings honor, respect, and glory to G-d is considered to be a Kiddush Hashem, whereas any behavior or action that disgraces, harms or shames G-d and His Torah is regarded as a Chillul Hashem which means a “desecration of G-d.”

Why has European anti-Semitism/anti-Israel hate increased since Oct 7th, 2023? |

Firstly, let's take a look at medieval anti-Semitism:
Quote:'Historically, blood libels often took place close to Passover, when Jews were charged with using the blood of Christian children to bake matzahs. The proximity of such charges to Easter was thus also often associated with the continuing belief that Jews were responsible for the Passion and Crucifixion of Jesus. Blood libels, together with allegations of well poisoning, were a major theme in Jewish persecution in Europe throughout the Middle Ages and into the modern period. They were a central component in the development of modern antisemitism in the 19th century.
Blood libel accusations often led to pogroms, violent riots launched against Jews and frequently encouraged by government authorities.
Murder is expressly forbidden in the Torah, as are the blood sacrifices which were practiced by ancient pagan religions. In fact, Jewish dietary laws (kashrut), forbid the consumption of blood in food and require all blood to be drained from slaughtered animals before consumption. [...]'
Extract source:
https://web.archive.org/web/20250515080731/https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/blood-libel
Whenever Israel conducts any war of defense / deterrence in response to "Palestinian" Arab attack, Israel is typically falsely-accused of "genocide". I have discussed the pattern that these false-allegations have taken in printed sources from 1948 to 2022, according to the "Ngram Viewer", here:
"Pattern of false-allegations in printed sources against Israel of Genocide":
https://www.thehebrewcafe.com/forum/show...81#pid8881
When the Media in particular many European TV channels, have reported on the current war in Gaza, they typically report only from the "Palestinian" Arab side.
Pundits chosen to speak on air give an impression they have been pre-screened to accord with the Channel's pro-"Palestinian" Arab / anti-Israel bias.
These European channels air pro "Palestinian" Arab sob-stories.
While on most World news reporting these channels give the impression of Journalistic-impartiality, when it comes to reporting on Israel, since the Hamas-led attack and massacre of Israelis of October 7th, 2023, these European TV channels reporting on Israel has become an intensive news propaganda bias in favor of the "Palestinian" Arabs against Israel.
Could this then, be the reason why so many Europeans have become intensively anti-Semitic and anti-Israel?
The blood libels of old have been recycled into a new form, which now has false-accusations against Israel of genocide and of murdering children, in order to create hatred against Israel and against Jews.
(Israel does not target civilians and so certainly not children, as is shown by the evacuation orders for keeping civilians clear of combat areas, about which the Gazan "Palestinian" Arabs complain.)
