You know how Iran insists it is only anti-Zionist, not antisemitic?
Iran's Supreme Leader's senior aide denounced this meeting of rabbis in a Shiite majority country:
Senior adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader warned on Saturday that Azerbaijan would damage the image of Shiites if it proceeds with plans to host a major rabbinical meeting.Ali Akbar Velayati said he hoped reports of the event were false, describing it as “anti-Islamic and against the dignity of Shiites.”
Tehran Times says he added, “This is the first time that such a transgression has been carried out by the government of Azerbaijan, and it is an anti-Islamic measure and an affront to the global standing of Shia Muslims,” he declared.
He wrote on social media that the people of Azerbaijan have been Muslim for nearly 1,200 years, stressing that they will not approve of actions that run against their faith and traditions.
It is not a conference of Israelis. It is not a conference of Zionists (although probably every attendee will be a Zionist.) It is a conference of rabbis.
And this is by itself prima facie evidence that the Islamic Republic is antisemitic.
