'Iran's Jews won't mark Yom Ha'atzmaut'


The Iranian
Jewish community will not mark
Israel's 60th Independence Day,
incoming Iranian Jewish
parliamentarian Siamak
Morsadegh said Wednesday.

Speaking to Reuters, Morsadegh said this was in
protest of Israel's responsibility for the
"murder of totally innocent Palestinian civilians."

"We are in complete disagreement with Israel's conduct,"
he said. "We are Iranians. We have no relations with Israel."

The Iranian Jewish leader told Reuters that Israel's
policies toward Palestinians, particularly Gazans,
demonstrated "anti-human behavior ...
they kill innocent people."

Morsadegh went on to claim that Jews in Iran enjoyed
freedom of religion and other rights.
"There are no specific problems for Jews in this country,"
he said.
