The Iran-backed terror militia Badr has launched a furious campaign against a newly opened museum of Iraqi Jewish heritage in Baghdad, calling it a Zionist foothold and a security breach, and demanding punishment for everyone who helped establish or approve it. The Shamash Jewish Museum opened last month in the restored building of a Jewish high school founded in 1928, and more than 1,000 Iraqis have already visited its exhibition. The threat carries weight in Iraq, where a 2022 law makes promoting normalization with Israel punishable by death.
