Iran have 1 Jewish politician in their parliament....

And there are 20000 Iranian Jews in Iran even if they are disciminated against......

Jews have been living in Iran in large numbers since Cyrus the Great freed them from slavery when he captured Babylon in 539BC. Members of the Jewish community in Iran today, for the most part, keep a low profile and many Iranians are unaware of their presence. Mr Motamed said there were about 14,000 Jews in Tehran, which has 20 active synagogues, 6,000 to 7,000 in Shiraz; 2,000 in Estafan and small groups scattered throughout the rest of the country.

He confirmed that Jews and other minorities were excluded from "sensitive" posts in the military and judiciary. And the authorities refuse to allow Jewish schools to close on the sabbath. But Mr Motamed said there had been improvements in other areas. Legislation introduced three years ago overturned a judicial practice of awarding more compensation to families of Muslim accident victims than to those of Jews. And when he complained in the Majlis about a TV soap regularly portraying rabbis as evil, he said the Speaker, Mehdi Karubi, had expressed support.

But then again if you are an Arab jew and you live in Israel....you still get shafted.......

Nor will it address the internal racism and hierarchy that afflicts the institution of Israeli citizenship, where Arab Israelis, including Arab Jews, Christians, and Muslims, suffer second class status, and where the income levels between Ashkenazi and Mizrahim continue to be stark and unjust, and where the founding narratives and the dominant culture are derived from the Aliyah from Europe.
