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
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.
Hinting mainly at Egypt and Saudi Arabia, the report said that Rafi went on to criticize "certain Arab governments for their inaction and silence towards Israeli inhuman acts and war crimes in Gaza and the entire Palestinian territories."

I am not surprised at all. My boss is an Iranian Jew (totally americanized now) and he travels back home frequently, they have strong roots there.
Also Iranian Jews watch Iranian and Arab news broadcasts. You can be sure they see a whole different "view" of this conflict compared to the sanitized propoganda shown in Israel and the U.S. Arab and Persian television is not afraid to show blood and guts and dead children (whereas Americans frequently love the IDEA of bombs and war, but real photos of the carnage and the aftermath is just plain barbaric).

What? They were targeting civilian areas and they telephoned some people to warn them? What did they say?

Hi everyone. I came to read the Israel hating rhetoric. I wasn't disappointed.
It's easy for Jews living at peace in Iran to arm chair quarterback Israel's decision to go to war(from a position of comfort with no missiles falling around them.....yet). In fact, if they didn't do it I can imagine what all the Iranians would be thinking, saying and doing. Could this be a case of "when in Rome do as the Romans do"? In other words, are they trying to be like Iranians in the hope that they won't come under ridicule.
Sorry to pee an your hate party.
