Iranian Newspaper Endorses Hitler’s Antisemitic Claims Ahead of October 7 Anniversary
Jomhuri Eslami invokes Hitler to attack Jews collectively. Its editorial turns allegations against Israel into an argument for antisemitic hatred.
Iranian newspaper Jomhuri Eslami published an editorial endorsing Hitler’s antisemitic claims about Jews on October 6, 2026, the eve of the third anniversary of the Hamas-led October 7 attack on Israel. The Persian text explicitly targets Jews as a people while using accusations against Israel to justify its argument.

The text presents Jews as inherently dangerous, without a homeland and bent on dominating the world. It endorses those claims rather than examining them critically. In its conclusion, the paper argues that Israeli conduct validates Hitler’s accusations completely, then calls for hatred of Zionism to intensify until its eradication.
That progression matters. Claims about a government’s actions become accusations against an entire people, including Jews with no responsibility for those actions. References to Zionism do not remove the explicitly anti-Jewish language elsewhere in the editorial.
A purported Hitler quotation, not authenticated history
The editorial attributes a passage advocating the massacre of Jews to Hitler and follows it with approving arguments. Israel News Pulse has not authenticated the alleged historical quotation. The Online Hate Prevention Institute previously identified a similar supposed Hitler quotation about sparing some Jews as fabricated.
The distinction is essential: the newspaper’s publication of these words is documented; their attribution to Hitler is a separate claim. An invented quotation can still carry a genocidal message. Reporting on that message must not give it a false historical pedigree.
Why this is antisemitism
Criticism of Israeli policy can address particular decisions, officials and military operations. This editorial instead treats Jewish identity itself as evidence of collective guilt. Dehumanization, a supposed worldwide conspiracy and approval of Hitler’s judgments are central to its case.
The timing adds significance for Israeli readers, but the date alone does not establish why the editors chose to publish it. Nor does one newspaper’s editorial establish what all Iranians believe or prove that a government official commissioned the text.
The newspaper’s own stated standards
Radio Farda previously reported funding from Ali Khamenei’s office. Those reported institutional ties provide context; they do not turn this editorial into a formal government announcement.
The paper’s ethics code promises respect for ethnic groups and minorities. Its endorsement of collective accusations against Jews sits in direct conflict with that commitment. The central issue is visible in the argument itself: hostility to Israel is being used to legitimize hatred of Jews.
