Collateral Damage Torah

Text on the meme

THE FIVE BOOKS OF TORAH WITH HAFTAROTH HEBREW TEXT AND PERSIAN TRANSLATION

A damaged Torah book lies in the foreground amid the rubble of a destroyed building, with a crushed car, construction machinery and people in the background. The joke is darkly ironic: the image is paired with a claim that a synagogue in Tehran suffered “collateral damage” during a military strike, making the destruction of a sacred Jewish text the punchline.
