波斯与犹太:民族和国家关系的演变

Persians vs. Jews:The Evolution of Nations and States

公元前538年,波斯帝国居鲁士皇帝释放犹太"巴比伦之囚",由此拉开了波斯人和犹太人交往的帷幕,并且奠定了双方关系发展的良好基础。即使在漫长的犹太人流散时期,波斯统治者对其辖下犹太人也基本采取宽容政策。1948年以色列成立后,伊朗和以色列分别成为波斯人和犹太人占主体的唯一国家。巴列维国王时期伊以之间建立了较为默契的双边关系。但是随着1979年宗教色彩浓厚的伊朗伊斯兰共和国成立,伊以国家关系和波斯—犹太民族关系均陷入严重对峙,并一直持续至今。

The Persian emperor Cyrus＇ release of the Jews from the latter＇s＂Babylonian captivity＂in 538 BC began a history of peaceful relations between the Persians and the Jews.Even during the Jewish Diaspora,their Persian rulers treated the Jews with a policy of toleration.After Israel was founded in 1948,Iran and Israel had maintained tacit bilateral relations for many years.Unfortunately,with the founding of the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979,the Iran-Israeli relation has been in hot water.
