Iran's Islamic Jihadist Goal Of Destroying Israel Will Mean The Death Of Millions

     If the Islamic world does not separate itself from Jew hatred and intolerance for some or all religions other than Islam, there will be no end to the wars raging throughout the world. Iran wants Israel destroyed. To achieve this goal will mean the death and maiming of millions. If the conflict were only about settlements, or land, or occupation, it could be resolved. But because the conflict is about the refusal to accept the existence of a Jewish state, on the premise that there can be only Islamic states in the middle east and in many other places of the world, the region becomes condemned to endless violence and war.
      Over 90 per cent of the Jews that lived in Iran have already left, with many now living in Israel. The small number of Jews that are left in Iran are not persecuted like some other religious minorities (such as the Baha'is, who are ruthlessly suppressed). As long as Jews accept Islamic domination, they are left alone in Iran. Iran, true to the core belief of Islamic jihadists, cannot accept a non Islamic state called Israel. So they persist in the bloody effort to kill Jews. Like many who hate Jews, but want to hide their Jew hatred (or antisemitism), Iran prefers to call the Jewish men, women and children of Israel Zionists, which they believe gives them license to kill. It's easier to mobilize people and nations to war through the use of labels and slogans, rather than to perceive the enemy as human beings.
       People have the right to criticize the State of Israel. But the goal to destroy Israel and replace it with an Islamic state should not be ignored. There are many that purposely ignore the Islamic jihadist nature of this conflict. Doing so may suit their personal animosities and hatreds, but it does not serve the people of Israel, Palestinian Arabs, or anyone else.
