Iran Jewish MP raps Israeli PM’s ‘nonsensical’ rant

The Iranian lawmaker representing the country’s Jews has slammed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s rants against the Islamic Republic, saying he is “a bloodsucking” criminal who has a hand in the massacre of innocents and occupation of Palestinian lands.

“The Israeli premier has sunken in the quagmire of crime, and has never played any role beyond poisoning the [mental international] atmosphere, massacring innocent children and woman, and tyrannically occupying the lands of Palestinian people,” said the Iranian Jewish legislator Siamak Moreh Sedgh.

The parliamentarian, who also directs the Tehran Jewish Committee, an umbrella group of Jewish organizations that represent Iran-based Persian Jews, called the Israeli official “a tyrant,” who would manipulate religious values to enable carnage and occupation, and had chosen racism as his ideology.

“A person of such characteristics could never function as the spokesperson for a religion, whose most essential motto is ‘love your own kind as you love yourself.’”

Meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday, the usurper Zionist regime's premier claimed ancient Persia had made a failed attempt to destroy the Jewish people some 2,500 years ago, a legend commemorated through the Jewish holiday of Purim, which Israel started celebrating last Saturday.
Netanyahu has constantly referred to the legend as a basis of his anti-Iran arguments in his meetings with different world leaders.

Netanyahu has been selective in his recount of history, ignoring the Hebrew Bible which has repeatedly praised Persian King Cyrus the Great as the patron and deliverer of the Jews who put an end to their Babylonian captivity.

The Iranian MP said the remarks came as no surprise from “such racist and criminal person,” adding that his “nonsensical rant” failed to adversely affect the faith of devoted Iranian Jews in their homeland.

Netanyahu’s comments have likewise been met with backlashes from senior Iranian officials, including Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, and Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani, who have questioned the Israeli official’s knowledge of history and scripture.
