IRAN & ISRAEL
47 years, Iranians have faced repression without support from Islamic states or global powers, driven by geopolitical interests and fear of popular uprisings. Only Israel has consistently distinguished between the Iranian people and the regime, openly supporting Iranians’ struggle for freedom.

در چهار دهه سرکوب، مردم ایران هرگز از سوی کشورهای اسلامی یا قدرتهای جهانی پشتیبانی نشدند، زیرا منافع سیاسی بر اصول انسانی غلبه داشته، در همهی این سالهای سیاه تنها اسرائیل میان مردم ایران و رژیم تفاوت قائل شده و آشکارا از خواست آزادی ایرانیان پشتیبانی کرده است!

On Migration
This episode draws a clear conceptual distinction between philosophy and theology. It argues that philosophy, in the Greek and Western tradition, begins with radical doubt, autonomous reason, and unrestricted inquiry, whereas what is often labelled “Islamic philosophy” largely operates within the fixed boundaries of revelation. Through historical examples, the discussion shows that Islamic intellectual achievements—while profound and sophisticated—are primarily theological in nature, aimed at defending and harmonising revealed truths rather than freely testing them. The episode concludes that philosophy, as an independent and critical discipline, belongs to a different intellectual lineage than revelation-bound theological systems.Keywords

The Stolen Identity: How Modern Arab Antisemitism Was Manufactured
This episode explores how modern antisemitism in the Arab world grew out of a manufactured Arab nationalism—engineered by political and religious leaders to mask economic decline, corruption, and authoritarian rule. It examines how entire national identities across the region were tied to the destruction of Israel, creating what can be called a “stolen identity.” Through historical analysis and cultural insight, the discussion unpacks the political manipulations that shaped collective consciousness for over 70 years and reveals how hostility toward Jews became a diversion from internal failures.

💬 Summary
In this episode, we take a deep dive into one of the most hotly debated questions of our time: Is Israel a colonial state? Step by step, we examine the evidence — the Jewish people’s indigenous connection to the land, the nature of Zionism, Israel’s legal and political structures, and its diverse society. Along the way, we tackle the recurring accusations of colonialism, criminality, and white supremacy, and we place Israel’s story in the much broader context of Christian and Muslim empires that truly practised conquest and colonisation across the Middle East and Europe. The episode argues that Israel’s trajectory is unique — not a project of empire, but the revival of an indigenous people returning to their ancestral homeland.
From Persia to Israel: A Conversation with a Pro-Palestinian
گفتگو با یک طرفدار فلسطین، بخشی از این نامه نگاری به فارسی است
Summary
This episode of Orientalistics dives into a fiery exchange between two worlds: one voice speaking from lived experience as an Iranian-born Jew standing with Israel, and another, a Persian leftist intellectual deeply committed to the Palestinian cause. Sparked by a provocative video from a well-known Israeli critic, our debate unfolds across Persian and English, exposing the raw clash between ideology and reality, conviction and experience. No filters, no easy answers — just the unvarnished tension of a conflict that refuses to fade.
