After October 7 and years of war, Iranians and Jews have found a common enemy - opinion

Hamas unleashed its unprecedented wave of slaughter, rape, and kidnapping, fully knowing the inevitable Israeli response and the devastating cost to Gaza. Yet, they did it anyway. Why?

The article highlights the tragic impact of the October 7 massacre on Jewish people and the broader implications for Israel and the Middle East. It points out that the event exposed the true nature of Israel's enemies, particularly the Islamic Republic of Iran and its proxy Hamas, who are unyielding in their pursuit of the Jewish state's destruction.

The piece emphasizes the importance of maintaining vigilance and understanding the unique mindset of these adversaries, who do not operate on traditional cost-benefit analyses but rather on theological imperatives of destruction and martyrdom. Additionally, the article discusses the rise of antisemitism in Western countries following the massacre and the unique biblical bond between Iran and Jews, which has led to a common enemy perception among Iranians.
