Iranian Jews in a Time of Protest

(Jerusalem Post) Annika Hernroth-Rothstein - I recently contacted one of my Jewish friends in Iran, who tells me they are safe, that the regime knows that Jews do not participate in these protests, that they never seek out conflict or trouble and wouldn't be part of uprisings against the ayatollah. My friend says that things feel much different now compared to what happened in 2009. "Everyone supports this now, even official branches, universities and public servants, and we feel it, we feel that this time it could actually happen, for real. It's like a bubble that is about to burst....People are even angrier now than in 2009, and not just because of poverty and corruption. People want to be free and everyone is screaming now, loudly, at the same time."
