IRGC General Mohammad-Jafar Asadi: Why Do Iranian Jews Not Speak Out Against The 'Huge Massacre' Perpetrated By The 'Evil Jews'? They Should Come Forward And Take Action On The Ground

In a November 10, 2024 appearance on IRINN TV (Iran), IRGC General Mohammad-Jafar Asadi, deputy commander of Khatam-al Anbiya Central Headquarters, criticized Iranian Jews for not speaking out against what he called the "huge" massacre being perpetrated by "evil Jews" over the past year. Asadi urged Iranian Jews to come forward and take action "on the ground." He stated that while the term "Zionists" is commonly used, Zionism stems from Jews, whom he described as the "biggest enemies" of Muslims according to the Quran. He questioned why anti-Zionist Jews do not step up and help eliminate what he called a "cancerous growth," labeling this as a "mark of shame" on humanity.

Interviewer: "What is the situation of Hamas and Hizbullah?"

Mohammad-Jafar Asadi: "In my opinion, the situation is very good. Imam [Khomeini] said that what we have stems from Karbala and Ashura. For a whole year, the evil Jews have been perpetrating a huge Karbala-style massacre in the West Asia region. Why am I saying 'Jews?' Some people tell me not to say 'Jews.' Why shouldn't we? What are they if not Jews? What are they doing?"

Interviewer: "You are referring to the Zionists..."

Asadi: "The Zionists stem from the same Jews who did what they did to their Prophet Moses. We are not interested in discussing the history now..."

Interviewer: "But there are anti-Zionist Jews, whose line is very clear."

Asadi: "All the more so. Are they making themselves heard? Are these anti [Zionist] Jews making themselves heard? Where do they make themselves heard? Why don't they show themselves on the ground, and [help] to get rid of this cancerous growth, which has become a mark of shame on humanity, not only on the Jews? They are a mark of shame on humanity. There is no greater mark of shame.

"The most serious injustice in human history was committed by these evil [Jews]. We keep talking about 'Zionists' all the time. What is the source of Zionism? We also have the holy Quran that says that the Jews are our biggest enemies. I am talking on the platform of the Iranian broadcasting authority, and I know that some of the Jews living in our country might say that they are also Jews. Where are you? Why don't you raise your voice and cry out? The Zionists have left the Jews with no honor. Come to the forefront. Show yourselves on the ground."
