Iranian Jewish Member of Parliament in an interview with German news agency hailed the living condition for the Jewish community in Iran ranking it higher in comparison with those in Europe.

Siamak More Sadeq, representative of the Jews in Iran’s Parliament, in an interview with Deutsche Welle, Germany’s international public broadcaster, said Iran is opposed with Zionism and not Judaism stressing that the living condition of Jewish community in Iran is better than those in Europe, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).
 
Iranian MP praised the economic ties between the Jews and Muslims in Iran and said,” I say my prayers in Hebrew language and I am able to speak in English though I think Persian and migration to the Occupied Palestine is not among my options for life.”
 
“Zionism is different from Judaism and to kill the innocent people is not among teachings of our Prophet Moses (AS)” Siyamak More Sadeq said and added,” We reject the behavior of Israeli forces and in my view Jewish people should show more sympathy towards the Palestinians.”
 
He hailed the living condition for Jewish minority in Iran and said,” This is much better than so many people imagine because the Jews are recognized as a minority and are free to practice their religion.”
 
He referred to more than 20 active synagogues and 5 Jewish Halal slaughter houses in the Iranian capital of Tehran which is not what you can find in some European countries.
 
Iranian MP also highlighted the mutual respect between Muslims and the Jewish community in Iran and said in general the living condition of the Jews in Iran has always been better than those in Europe.
