“In the Holy Quran, the Jews are referred to as the main enemies of Islam. God has divided the enemies of Islam into three categories: the infidels, the hypocrites, and the Jews, with the Jews being the most dangerous of them all. There are more than 500 verses in the Quran about the evil characteristics of the Jews. These people were not able to join the righteous path under any circumstance because of their incorrigible nature. The Jews consider themselves to be the superior race, which has given them the illusion that they must dominate the world and they continue to struggle day and night to achieve their big goal.”

This anti-Semitic outburst is part of a speech by a University professor during a three-day conference in Tehran in August 2018. The event was sponsored by government-funded organizations and Fars news agency affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards. This form of anti-Semitism with an “Islamic” theme, is promoted by the Iranian regime through its various organs, the State-controlled TVs and media, and social media platforms. It is also taught in Shia seminaries across the country and taught as a module at Tehran University.

The Iranian regime-sponsored anti-Semitism operates on several levels using different stereotypes.  As professor Bernard Lewis has explained in his study of Muslim Anti-Semitism, “European anti-Semitism, in both its theological and racist versions, was essentially alien to Islamic traditions, culture, and modes of thought. But to an astonishing degree, the ideas, the literature, even the crudest inventions of the Nazis and their predecessors have been internalized and Islamized.”

Under the banner of anti-Zionism, the Iranian regime promotes the European – Nazi stereotypes which depict the Jews as powerful and wealthy conspirators who control the global finance, dominate Western governments and media, and instigate crisis and wars to further their agenda.

According to the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, “there is a malicious and dangerous network in the world which is called “Global Zionism,” and the US is its agent.” He claims that “Zionism is a threat to all humanity. Today even western governments are under the influence of the Zionists. They too are suffering from the Zionist centers of power and wealth.”. The Hawzah.net, the main website of Iranian seminaries has more than 2000 articles and reports about Zionism.
