Abstract
The political myth of Judaism from ancient times onwards has been established around subjects like "diaspora", "exile to Babylon" and "Resh Galuta" etc. Judaic political successes owe to these very notions. The question is whether this political structure has affected Iranian intellectual's thoughts. Yes. In Qajar period, Mirza Malkom Khan's Thoughts like "religious reforms", "the law idea" and "materialistic approach towards religion" resemble the structure of Talmudian Judaism. Having an important role in the formation of ancientism of Pahlavi regime and promotion of masonary in Iran, Foroughi's thoughts have many affinities with Judaic notions like "incarnation of Judaic souls" and "racism". Javad Tabatabayi digged a deep cleavage between modern and old political thoughts and criticized unfairly the Iranian political thoughts. This emulates Judaism's narcissism, Judaic acute nostalgia about "David's kingdom" and "their pretence to be victim" in institutions such as Sanhedrin. The result is that in all three periods of contemporary history of Iran, a great part of intellectual spheres has a lot of similarities with Talmudian Judaism and inflicted a destructive and irretrievable effect on the Iranian culture and politics.
