> It's of note that while there about 20% muslims in Israel, there's about zero jewish person in Gaza (there are some israelo-palestinian though) and zero jewish person in Iran. Or close to that.

Not only are there Jews in Iran, they even have a seat permanently reserved in the Iranian parliament.

From 100 000 before the islamic revolution to 8 000 today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_Jews

The ethnic cleansing isn't totally complete, but it's quite close. It's nice that the Ayatolla made a fatwa to protect them though. But if I were Jewish in Iran I would expect that protection to fall the second the Ayatolla dies.

I just knew someone would reply with a comment like this but foolishly I decided not to get ahead of it.

Sure, there used to be more. Sure, there are obviously better places to be as a Jew.

But ... I replied to the comment that said "there are no Jews in Iran" . There are Jews living in Iran. That's it.

I bet there are hidden jews living in other muslim countries too. But that's not really the point. The point is the fear, intimidation, and murders.
