Iran Jewish MP criticizes 'anti-human' Israel acts

Tehran lawmaker filling only seat allotted for Jews says Iranian Jewish community will not be celebrating Israel's 60th anniversary. 'We have nothing to do with Israel,' he says.

An Iranian Jewish leader on Wednesday said his community would not mark this week's 60th anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel, which he accused of "killing innocent" Palestinians

"We are in complete disagreement with the behavior of Israel,"

"We are Iranians. We have no relations with Israel. "

Judaism is one of three recognized minority religions in Iran.

The community has a member in the 290-seat legislature and its own schools

Four other seats are reserved for Christians and Zoroastrians

Iran's ancient Jewish community has dwindled by roughly 75% since the 1979 Islamic revolution but is still believed to be the biggest in the Middle East outside Israel,
