Iranian president Rouhani’s Rosh Hashanah greetings mocked by social media

Share:

Rouhani’s Rosh Hashanah greetingTwitter users ridiculed Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Sunday, after he posted a message wishing Jews well for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, celebrated on Monday and Tuesday.

“May our shared Abrahamic roots deepen respect & bring peace & mutual understanding. L’Shanah Tovah. #RoshHashanah,” the Iranian leader wrote on his Twitter page. The message was accompanied by a photo of four Jewish men wearing prayer shawls and holding prayer books while standing near a Torah scroll.

Yair Rosenberg, a journalist for Jewish magazine Tablet, was quick to point out the inherent hypocrisy in Rouhani’s greeting:

A number of other social media users pointed out that for most Jews, the Iranian regime’s constant threats to destroy Israel would likely not be considered peaceful.

    The biggest insult from Rouhani is to his own people that are forbidden to use the social media that he uses routinely.
