Iran actually has a digital countdown clock which was unveiled in 2017, showing 8,411 days to Israel’s destruction.
Islamic antisemitism is engrained in mainstream Islam (see HERE, HERE and HERE), so it’s no surprise that Iran’s perpetual hatred would manifest itself in threats not just against the state of Israel, but against Jews in Iran. Ayatollah Khamenei has called Israel a “cancerous tumor” which “must be eradicated.”
As reported by The Hill, “40 years of Iranian threats against Israel and few pay any attention.”
Now the threat has extended to the 10,000 Jews in Iran, and again, the world will give it scant attention, despite the fact that Iran has a history of hostage-taking. Recall also the Hostage Crisis of 1979-80.
“Report: Iranian VP threatens to hold Iran’s 10,000 Jews hostage,” by Gary Willig, Israel National News, October 13, 2021:
Iranian Vice President for Economic Affairs Mohsen Rezaee warned that the country’s 10,000 Jews were hostage against Israel, Iranian opposition groups and the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) reported.
The “Iranian Regime Countdown” organization wrote a post on its Telegram account on Monday that Rezaee said in a speech that “the Israeli government knows very well that if it makes a mistake, the regime will treat the 10,000 Jews living in Iran differently.”
Rezaee, a former head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, made the remarks in an address to the members of the Tharollah Tehran organization.
According to Iranian Regime Countdown, this is the first time Iran has threatened the country’s Jewish community instead of threatening Israel directly.
Rezaee has made similar threats to take large numbers of hostages in the past. In June, Masih Alinejad, an Iranian-born journalist living in the US, reported that Rezaee had threatened to take 1,000 Americans hostage in order to blackmail the US into providing relief for Iran’s struggling economy….

Oh, those iranian ‘leaders” are such a bunch of kidders. Doesn’t his photo just make everyone want to give him a great big hug and wish him a happy terrorism day?

He thinks he’s Steven Seagal.

That’s funny. Thanks for the laugh. This site today has given me quite a few, much needed for sure.

My immediate question is what are 10.000 Jews doing living in Iran, the sworn enemy of Israel. They must realise they are hostages
gravenimage says
bill, Jews have lived in Iran for centuries–since before Islam. They are often prevented from leaving, as well, so they have no choice in the matter.
abu taleb says
The Islamists just want to find excuse to annihilate non muslims. Any excuse will do. Their evil prophet has given examples. An attempt to kill Muhammad (according to muslims of course) triggered a genocide toward the whole Jews community in Medinah (even though not at one time). Or, a rumour that the Christians at far away had wanted to attack muslims at Medinah made a long journey to Suriah which they found no army at all, but took the opportunity to rob the locals.
Just ask any Islamist, they will never say that it is the muslims’ fault when the muslims attack, kill, rape or rob etc non muslims. There is always excuses.
On the other hand, it always non muslims’ fault when something bad happens to muslims.
Fitna says
What’s funny is that whenever Iran is accused of being anti-semitic, they claim they have 10,000 Jews in Iran. Ofc now it becomes clear they’re just using them as hostages and human shields.
As for those Jews, they chose to remain in enemy territory. They had plenty of opportunity to leave, if not directly they could’ve found indirect means.
Israel should not let this deter them. The world would be a better place if Israel wipes out the Islamic regimes, Iranians hate them and so does everyone else except their fellow Jihadis.

Spot on, Fitna.

Iranian Vice President for Economic Affairs threatens Iran’s 10,000 Jews if Israel ‘makes a mistake’
………….
Iran doesn’t let Jews flee the country. This is for two reasons–so they can fleece them for Jizya, and so they can use them as hostages, as here.
God, I hate Islam.
Fitna says
Likewise Graven and good point on the jizya, who knows about other horrors that we never see or hear about, with these savages persecuting the Jews in Iran.
Israel needs to get off its hands and send these barbarians to meet their god Satan and free their own people.
What really bugs me is the hypocrisy of the world community. They allowed the Nazis to wipe out 6 million Jews and said ‘never again.’ But when faced with a potential new Holocaust in Iran but also the mideast since Muslims there want to wipe them out, they’re quiet as church mice or accuse the Jews of becoming fascists when in truth they are in a fight for survival.
I guess they’re only happy when Jews are dead or dying and they can cry fake tears-perhaps secretly they want them gone.
Fortunately Israel is a very strong nation-but it has terribly weak leadership, that’s the only thing holding them back from saving all their people and defeating the Islamic Hitlers of today.
gravenimage says
Thanks, Fitna. I’m not sure that Israel can do much about Iran (whose population is eight times that of little Israel’s). If they can stop the Mullahs from getting nukes this is a great deal, though.
tgusa says
These Iranian leaders sure have big mouths considering they fought Saddam and Iraq from 1980 to 1988 and ended up in a stalemate. What do you call the Iranian version of Baghdad Bob, Tehran Timmy?
Johnny B says
There are all these terrible regimes all over the Middle East who believe their evil actions are sanctioned by the Quran or the Hadiths and if you even dare to criticise Islam here in Europe you will be censored, called an Islamophobe, racist, Nazi and what not. Our leaders still insist it’s “a beautiful religion” and “the religion of peace”. This is one screwed up world already, pardon my French..
Fitna says
These same regimes have our leaders in their back pockets. No doubt Biden, Obama, Hillary, etc were paid millions to back the JCPOA and also to remove sanctions against them.
Obama sent pallets of billions of dollars to Iran’s regime, which is a crime to support/fund terrorism that little people like us would pay dearly for, I wonder how much of a cut Obama had wired to his secret bank accounts?
At least Trump could never be bought off, being a billionaire….but then he too was buddy-buddy with the Islamofascists, they probably promised to build Trump hotels in their countries.
Is it any wonder they wanted to muzzle Ed Snowden and Julian Assange (Wikileaks)? Because they probably exposed the true evil and corruption going on at the highest levels of gov’ts.
While Hollywood provides fakes stories of heroism and justice, making it seem western nations are above board or noble, in reality there’s far more scandals and selling out US citizens than they realize.
The mass migration of Muslims into Europe was also a very lucrative scam-follow the money, that’s what’s really leading to the rot and destruction from within.
Fitna says
*western governments
gravenimage says
Have you heard *this* from Obama?
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9004555/Obama-jokes-theres-not-office.html
He talks about using someone supposedly in power as a sock puppet and controlling them from his basement. Supposed to be a “joke”, but not really…
somehistory says
Thanks, g, for that.
I don’t believe for a minute that he was ‘joking,’ …he said something several times while still stinking up the Oval office about having a “third term,” and there was even the question on the web about our “approval” of a third term for him.
Every time I saw it, gagging mentally….waiting for the others to be over and done was torture.
And many believe he is the slime behind the old puppet, the one talking in biden’s ear.
gravenimage says
Agree, Somehistory.
Johnny B says
One of the “blessings” of multi-kulti is that the politicians have to serve everybody and ends up serving no-one but their own pockets. Everything can be justified now and for some reason politicians seem to profit the most from the great refugee-scam; also known as replacement migration within the UN-system..
somehistory says
What they are working for is to have two groups fighting to the death…literal death…while they watch and wait for it to be over.
One group: legal citizens who want things to be as the Constitution was designed to promote and protect and the other group: illegals with impure intent/mozlums.
