00:00I'm currently in the Lewinsky market of Tel Aviv.
00:03You can also call it a little Tehran in Tel Aviv.
00:06Because many shops here are spice shops and these shops are owned by people.
00:12Those who have migrated from Iran, from Tehran, from bazaars of Tehran.
00:17And in fact, they are those who have come to this country after 1979.
00:22Many of them are Jews of Iranian origin, but they have migrated to Israel.
00:29So many people in this market are from Iran, though they are Jews from Iran.
00:34Those who have migrated to Israel.
00:37And let's see these shops.
00:39These are like, you know, the spices shop.
00:43You see all those spices.
00:44And this will remind you of shops in maybe Old Delhi area or maybe in any part of India as
00:51well.
00:51Isaac, what do you feel that, you know, your home country or the country where your parental roots are there
00:59is being bombed by the country where you are living right now?
01:02What are your thoughts about that?
01:04First of all, I think that the regime is very dangerous for all the area.
01:10Not Israel.
01:12It's more powerful for us to get rid of them.
01:17First of all.
01:18Second of all, it's going to be like a nuclear war.
01:22And Israel is afraid of this, you know, because Israel, they cannot have, lose any war.
01:30Any war.
01:31If we lose, you're not going to interview me.
01:34That's the point.
01:36And that's the conclusion for our Jewish, because we are Jewish.
01:43So everyone hates us.
01:45You know why?
01:45Ask me why.
01:47Because of the brain, you know.
01:49So you heard these are the Iranian origin shopkeepers.
01:53They are basically Jews from Iran, those who have migrated to Israel, to Tel Aviv.
01:59And in fact, as he told me, that around 100 shops are being owned by people from Iranian origin.
02:06And they are running their businesses here.
02:09And they want, they think, that there should be a change in Iran.
02:14And we have another person from Iran who has migrated to Israel.
02:19What are your thoughts that, you know, a country of your root is being attacked by the country of your
02:24residents?
02:25And a lot of conflict is going on in the region.
02:28What are your thoughts on that?
02:29To my opinion, it's not the people.
02:31It's the regimes.
02:32It's fanatic regime.
02:34And I believe that once this regime will pass away, we will be more than good friends.
02:44In this market, you can see all authentic Iranian spices.
02:49And I am here in Tel Aviv, Slewanski Market, which is also known as Small Tehran inside Tel Aviv.
