Today, over 24 hours after the assault, western media is only beginning to report what should be a major global story. Israel\u2019s responsibility for the crime is even less reported than the attack itself.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement admitting its role, the IDF did not apologize. Instead, it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/iran-claims-tehran-synagogue-badly-damaged-in-israeli-airstrike-israeli-official-we-dont-target-synagogues\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">expressed \u201cregret<\/a>,\u201d while in the same breath justifying the attack, saying it was targeting an Iranian militia leader nearby and the house of worship was \u201ccollateral damage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReports were received [note passive tense\u2013\u201creceived from whom?\u201d] that a nearby synagogue was also damaged [no, destroyed] in the strike. The IDF regrets [!] the collateral damage [!] to the synagogue and emphasizes that the strike was directed at a senior military target within the regime\u2019s armed forces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, don\u2019t blame us. We were gunning for the other guy.<\/p>\n<p>It further wanted it understood that it supposedly did all in its power to avoid civilian casualties, including using *precise munitions.\u201d As if this should somehow mitigate the crime:<\/p>\n<p>The army insisted that it took steps to \u201cminimize the risk of harm to civilians\u201d in the strike, \u201cincluding the use of precise munitions and aerial surveillance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.richardsilverstein.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/rafi-nia-synagogue-attack-e1775599790630.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-109442\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/rafi-nia-synagogue-attack-e1775599790630.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"499\" height=\"205\"  \/><\/a>Rafi-Nia destroyed Torah text<\/p>\n<p>The level of mendacity is strong in this one. You can\u2019t destroy a building which you claim you didn\u2019t intend to strike, if you\u2019re using \u201cprecise munitions.\u201d By its very nature, such munitions were far from precise.\u00a0 Unless, the IDF made a targeting error based on faulty targeting intelligence, which would be another unpardonable act of negligence.<\/p>\n<p>Worst of all\u2013it struck a target next door to a synagogue during Passover, the Festival of Freedom. A terrible irony apparently lost on the IDF.<\/p>\n<p>The destruction of the synagogue is not an unfortunate accident. Rather, it is a clear sign of the recklessness of Zionism. A clear sign that Israel not only detests Christians and Muslims in Palestine-Israel, but Jews as well. Not Israeli Jews, of course. But Diaspora Jews.<\/p>\n<p>Any so-called Jew who cannot apologize for destroying a synagogue is not a Jew. Rather he is a monster, a ghoul. But not a Jew.\u00a0\u00a0The gravest sin a Jew can commit is chilul Hashem, \u201cdesecration of Gods Name.\u201d The IDF not only desecrated a synagogue, it trampled God\u2019s name with every page of Torah it destroyed.\u00a0 And it is an anti-Semitic act.\u00a0 But why should we be surprised that Israel could be capable of such a crime?<\/p>\n<p>Zionism has no use for Judaism except as a tool to legitimize it. Almost from its inception, Zionism detested Diaspora Judaism. Little has changed.\u00a0 Herzl saw what he considered backwards, dirty, poor and \u201csuperstitious\u201d (i.e. religious) Eastern European Jews as the cause of anti-Semitism. Shipping them off to what was then Palestine would solve the problem.\u00a0 Other Zionists considered Judaism as a dying remnant of the Diaspora.<\/p>\n<p>Zionism weighs its interests: one is defending Israel and destroying its rivals; the other is an Iranian synagogue. It will sacrifice the synagogue every time.<\/p>\n<p>If Iran struck an Israeli synagogue, newspapers across the world would blare enraged headlines. UN Security Council meetings would be convened. Jewish Zionist groups would decry Iranian Jew-hared and terrorism. Instead, no one mourns on behalf of Iranian Jews. I guess some Jews matter more than others.<\/p>\n<p>Related<\/p>\n<p>Post navigation<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Members of the Iranian Jewish community inspect what is left of their synagogue in Tehran after Israel bombed&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":384510,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[37377,85,117780,46,183500,97,43,22869],"class_list":{"0":"post-384509","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-israel","8":"tag-anti-semitism","9":"tag-il","10":"tag-iran-war","11":"tag-israel","12":"tag-jews-judaism","13":"tag-mideast-peace","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-zionism"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=384509"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384509\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/384510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=384509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=384509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=384509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
