Actually, Iran has the 2nd largest population of Jews in the Middle-East, next to Israel, of course. Its possible that these could be 2 Jews, not a Jew and a Muslim. Of course, there's no solid proof either way with just the picture, but I wanted to give my 2 cents.

Uplifting and depressing at the same time. Uplifting because it's unlikely, and depressing because it's unlikely.

I'm Polish, my fiancée is Iranian. We just yesterday got job offers as teachers in Dubai, and will soon move in together. We couldn't be happier!

I'm Jewish and my wife is Lebanese. I don't find anything unlikely about this picture.

You two finding each other gives hope to other passport collectors. There are hundreds of us out there!

Two Homo Sapiens adults in reproductive age, what's so unlikely about it?

Evernoob · 5 months

Why?

Most people realise that the citizens of any country just want to go about their lives without being blow'd up or shot just like the citizens of the next one, and that it isn't those people's fault that some politicians got together and decided to declare war on each other.

TurtleFlip · 5 months

This is highly relevant. A very poignant movement that sprung up recently, with citizens of both countries trying to reach out to each other despite their government's animosity.

Also fitting is this quote I just absolutely love from Marjane Satrapi, the author of Persepolis

If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it’s that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.

For a full read of where that quote came from, the article's here

I think it applies to all countries, especially Israel and Iran.

What is so strange? What I would call strange is a Nazi and Jew falling in love, not this. We see Christian and Muslim marrying each other out love. We also see that countries make no difference, like Chinese and Japanese marrying each other and Indian and Pakistani. Heck even American and Iranian.

Also, Wonder Showzen anyone?

This is only "unlikely" for people who assume that Iranians (or Israelis) are raving lunatics. No, they're just ordinary people. In fact Iran has a very large Jewish population.

thesorrow312 · 5 months

Not unlikely at all. Many iranians hate the islamic republic and have nothing against jews. The middle class especially. The people who support them are the ignorant poor.

We persians freed the jews after Cyrus conquered Babylon, they are our bros.

Islam can suck a dick.

Excuse me for being crass, but I don't fucking care.

This is a picture of two people who love each other. As long as they aren't related to each other too closely, why should we care?

I wish them good tidings and a happy life, where ever they go. It's sad that the nationality of either is such a consideration. I raise my glass to your futures together.

rafalski24 · 5 months

There is actually a fairly vibrant Jewish community in Iran. Iran even lets them drink alcohol, which is illegal to the everyone else.

notsoregularjoe · 5 months

Who gives a fuck? Are we pre-determined not to fall in love with someone of opposite gender, because of a different passport??

If it was a man and a jellyfish, or a woman and am ottoman. That would be unlikely. This is natural.

TheBoyWhoDid · 5 months

If only we lived next to nice Zionists like this. I'm from Palestine and sadly, when we go visit we live close to cruel Zionist always marching the streets with their guns and uniform. But, when we go to Jerusalem we meet all these very nice people and have good convo's. This is why It's wrong to hate a whole race after a group of people.

She must be so tired of hanging out at his place. Iran, along with many Arab nations, doesn't take too kindly to that passport.

"Now I'm not racist, but..."

I'm certainly very naive/untrained when it comes to visually differentiating certain ethnicities

Without the passports in the picture I would have thought it was an "I'm punching out of my weight division" post...but well done either way

I'm glad I live somewhere (Australia) where I have the luxury of not freaking out over a pairing of people from (almost) neighboring countries

Now, I don't recommend either of you take any visits to Iran in the foreseeable future.

SekondaH · 5 months

What a load of bull. Most Israeli's (of any religion) have no problem at all with their Persian (of any religion) Neighbours and they don't give a care at all about the land dispute with Palestine or their free. And vice versa.

This type of arty nonsense oh gosh look at us overcome adversity actually makes me sick and you should be ashamed of your karma whoring to the ignorant. All this does is point out who gullible we are for assuming they are a Jew & Muslim because we apply a stereotypical national identity, even though being Iranian or Israeli doesn't make you either or. For all we know they are Atheists and since this is a "religious war" this photo is irrelevant.
