Iranian Regime's Redemptive Antisemitism

 

Prof. Litvak gives the answer to the question which is not often even asked - WHY does the Iranian regime want to destroy Israel and the Jews? The answer -  redemptive antisemitism. 

52:11 …And you also have another element -- that it is essential not only to destroy Israel but to fight the Jews, you know, to prepare the ground for the coming of the Messiah, that is, this is what the great Israeli historian Saul Friedländer  defined as redemptive antisemitism. That is, you redeem the world by persecuting the Jews, and today in modern Iranian Shia discourse fighting the Jews is essential to redeem humanity to facilitate the coming of the Hidden Messiah, of the Mahdi.
