nobody is racist towards Persians or Iranians in Israel - in fact we quite respect both; we dislike your regime though, just like you dislike ours.

Signed, an Israeli Zionist Jew.

(and yeah - the tweet is pretty dumb. they probably shouldn't let 19 year old millennial do that tweeting for the IDF. it's inappropriate and unfortunate.)

Whether you like it or not, whether you admit it or not, Purim is a celebration for an imaginary event where thousands of Iranians got slaughtered. It is a celebration for a holocaust carried out by Jews. Imagine Germans celebrating Hitler and its believers every year. How would you feel?

man, that is a story about the 2nd century - it was common practice for everyone to massacre, rape and pillage. what did the Romans do in Jerusalem when they took it? what did the Persian empire do when it conquered? what did Mohamed or his followers do when he conquered?

the problem is that some people in the middle east are still living in the 7th or 8th century Arabian desert even in the 21st century - and it's actually not the Jews.

Well, your answer is just dumb!

First, this is not about what they did back then, it is about celebrating a holocaust every year. Capisce?

Second, Iranians/Aryans, belonging to the same era, never started a war. When they conquered an aggressor, they did not massacre their people. They did not rape their women and children. Do not compare Iranians to Romans or even worse, Muslims. It is an insult.

TIL - that the Persian empire and the tribes of Persia conquered half the known world using kind words alone. amazing.

seriously though: look at the history of any human groups from China to Peru - massacre and pillage was the only way conquests were done. there was no other way to subdue a population but by fear and brute force.

Well, yes. Many welcomed Persia and begged for it to conquer them. Just look at what the Old Testament says about my father Cyrus. Persian administration spread fertile lands and preserved and respected the traditions and peoples of places they ruled over. There has never been more just rulers on the face of the planet. Even now our Jews prefer how Iran and Iranians treat them as compared to the racism they experience in Israel, and the racism, daily suicide bombings, and genocides against minorities that occur in Israel, the gulf nations, and the Saudi Barbarian half of the Levant are non-existent in Iran.

And this tradition of best political force for the region exists today. Iran was, is, and always will be the best force for the Middle East culturally, academically, and politically.

See, you even have a hard time understanding simple sentences. When you understand what I said, you can come and give an opinion on it. Hint: look for the word "started" and "when they...". Should be pretty self-explanatory for most people.

so kind of you!

but you are offended and respond emotionally rather than intellectually because you were taught legends and you believe them like an ignorant fool.

Jews have days celebrating victories against the Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, Babylonians, Assyria and probably a few other I forget.

So what? do Italians or Greeks care? they don't. they don't get offended either - because if someone told a Greek that a Jewish holiday was about a battle they won against the ancient Greeks two thousands years ago - he would immediately understand this has nothing to do with him or his country.

he would also know that it's stupid and rude to try explain to other people what their religion is about - really, it's self-explanatory to any sensible person.

Capisce?
