'Iranian Jews protest Gaza slaughter'

Different groups representing Iran's Jewish community on Tuesday gathered in front of the United Nations office in Teheran in order to protest "Israeli war crimes and the slaughter of the innocent people in Gaza Strip," the Iranian IRNA news agency reported.

The protesters, led by the Jewish representative in Parliament, Siamak Mara-Sedq, carried placards with anti-Israel slogans in both Farsi and Hebrew, the report said.

"We are here to express our support and sympathy with the Palestinian nation," Rahmatollah Rafi, the chairman of Iran's Jewish community was quoted as saying at the rally.

Okay, so here is a conspiracy theory. Perhaps these Iranian Jews were forced to protest. Edited to make this more than one line.

Yeah. They better protest if they know what's good for them. If I were a Jew in Iran, I'd be protesting like a SOB!
