Iran has come out of the shadows and attacked Israel directly. **Read OP before posting**

I have two Israeli friends, both of whom don't live there any more because they say it's become a shithole. It ain't the Mecca of tolerance some on here would have you believe, especially with regards to race & ethnicity. There's a hierarchy of Jews over there and African Jews are treated the worst. There's internal white Jewish bigotry going on as well, with various strata of Jews looking down on others because they don't consider them to be "Jewish" enough.

As for being an Arab over there, that's another story altogether and not a pleasant one.

Israel: 9.8million people of whom 2.08mn are Arabs

Iran: 89.7mn of whom 9826 are Jewish as of 2016

Must be all the pleasantries

That's interesting. To read some of the comments on here you'd get the impression it was a Paradise for all.

The topic is Israel and Iran, not Hamas, not Palestine, not Gaza, not Ethiopia, not Saudi Arabia, not the UAE, not different "classes" of Jews

So why did you mention them in a post about Hamas? There is a clear attempt in that post at linking those countries with Hamas.

It looks like a "well they're all Muslims so they're all evil" trope. Or maybe you need to explain yourself better?

Sounds like every other country including our own
