Iranian Jewish community will not mark Israel's 60th Independence Day

The Iranian Jewish community will not mark Israel's 60th Independence Day, incoming Iranian Jewish parliamentarian Siamak Morsadegh said Wednesday.

Speaking to Reuters, Morsadegh said this was in protest of Israel's responsibility for the "murder of totally innocent Palestinian civilians."

"We are in complete disagreement with Israel's conduct," he said. "We are Iranians. We have no relations with Israel."
