Siamak Moreh Sedgh, who also serves as director of the Tehran Jewish Committee, is a frequent critic of ‘the Zionist regime’

The designated representative of the Iranian Jewish community in Iran’s parliament lambasted Israel’s actions in Gaza on Monday, and drew comparisons between the Jewish state and Nazi Germany.

“The Zionist regime’s crimes are reminiscent of the actions taken by the German Nazis during the first and second world wars,” Siamak Moreh Sedgh told Fars News Agency.

The legislator added that Israeli treatment of the Palestinians reminded him of the Saddam Hussein’s crimes against Iran and Iraq’s Shiite community.

In Iran, five seats in parliament are reserved for recognized religious minorities — one for a Jew, two for Christians and two for Zoroastrians. Moreh Sedgh, a 50-year-old physician, who also serves as director of the Tehran Jewish Committee, has represented his community in parliament since 2012.

Moreh Sedgh has criticized Israel on numerous occasions, and has dubbed the Jewish state’s treatment of Palestinians “inhuman.”
