Why are so many Iranians publicly supporting Israel, despite the risks?

We are seeing trends on “X” like #IraniansStandWithIsrael. Why does this major Muslim country have so many people supporting Israel?

Iranians in major cities like Berlin, Paris, Toronto, Rome and San Diego hosted pro-Israel rallies to show support for the Jewish people.

“They’re active on social media speaking out against Hamas, in favor of Israel and Israel’s right to self-defense,” Emily Schrader, an Israeli-American journalist, said. “Because they understand the reality of what Hamas actually is, of what Islamic Jihad in Gaza actually is, and they don’t want that for any other people.” “They’re our greatest defenders and their greatest allies. I have nothing but love for the people of Iran and I think I can speak for the majority, if not all of Israeli citizens as well.”

While Israeli-Iranian relations have deteriorated to the point of enemy nations, Schrader said the history of their friendship dates back farther than the current hostility for one another.  

Iran was the second Muslim country to recognize Israel as a sovereign state in 1949, and after the installation of a pro-Western Iranian leader in 1953, the two countries became strategic allies on issues involving trade and joint military projects. 

In nearly every protest in support of Israel, you will see Iranian flags from before the Islamic revolution that turned Iran into an Islamic terror state. 

The Islamic Revolution of 1979 resulted in the replacement of the Imperial State of Iran with the present-day Islamic Republic of Iran, and contributed to the rise of many Jihadi movements and conflicts between Islamic and Western civilizations.

After the Islamic Republic was established, Iran’s leadership adopted a strong anti-Israel stance, cut off all official relations with the former ally and declared it an “enemy of Islam.” The majority of Iranian people still favor freedom and democracy “but are brutally subjugated by an anti-Western religious theocracy.”

“The reality on the ground in Iran is that they’re very pro-Israel,” Schrader told Fox News. “They look to Israel as an example, and they want Israel to help them as well. So any attack on Israel, they take very personally.”

“The reality is we’re not going to see a change in Israel-Iran relations until there is a regime change,” Schrader said. “But when there is a regime change, there will be peace the next day. Iranians and Israelis will be the best of friends, publicly and openly once again.”
