I think your notion that genetics, religiousity and nationalism have some sort of causal link that is in any way relevant to the political facts at hand. It doesn't matter whose Mama fucked whose Papa in some great antiquity to me. I'm not really interested in games of 'No True Jew'.
If Iran really wanted to turn the Jews toward Middle-East concerns and causes, rather than Western ones, Iran could just embrace Israel and work to broker a lasting peace with Hezbollah. That would make Israel their new best friend and Iran and Israel could probably work together to make a better, stronger, and more peaceful middle-east. If of course, it's not about Islam as you say. For if it were about Islam, then the Iranians would probably worry about how their Sunni neighbors might see an alliance with Israel. The Jews were not always hated in the Islamic world. There was a time where the Islamic world was friendlier to the Jews than the Western one.

The right of return for the Jews was as ridiculous in 1948 as the right of return for Palestinians is today. It doesn't matter what truth there is to the historical myth. Israel is a fact now.

I am sure that on a long enough timeline the country of Israel will no longer occupy the land it occupies. But on a long enough timeline the country of Iran will no longer occupy the land that it occupies. Same can be said for any country.
