In a twitter message on Sunday evening, Zarif said, “to sell bigoted lies against a nation which has saved Jews 3 times, Netanyahu resorting to fake history & falsifying Torah. Force of habit.”
In an attachment to the post, according to ILNA, Zarif wrote “once again Benjamin Netanyahu not only distorts the realities of today but also of the past — including Jewish scripture. It is truly regrettable that bigotry gets to the point of making allegations against an entire nation which has saved the Jews three times in its history.”
“The Book of Esther tells of how Xerxes I saved Jews from a plot hatched by Haman the Agagite, which is marked on this very day; again, during the time of Cyrus the Great, an Iranian king saved the Jews — this time from captivity in Babylon; and during the Second World War, when Jews were being slaughtered in Europe, Iran gladly took them in,” Iranian foreign minister wrote.
EghtesadOnline: Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in reaction to recent anti-Iranian remarks of the Zionist regime Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Iranians have saved Jews three times in the history.
