Like really Cyrus freed many jews from Babylon and other kings fought for jews, but why?
Why did the persians helped jews so much?

To create loyal vassals or hurt an enemy empire

Because Persians were Gentles that accepted a single God. So God inspired them to liberate the Jewish people.
Angel Cox
this is the answer, it happened all throughout history for many small ethnic groups, you're just more familiar with jews because of your religious background
Jonathan Bailey
but why with the jews?

The persians were so gentle while controlling half population of world they outlawed slavery and brought human rights to this world.
Aaron Gonzalez
This was a mistake, not every ethnicity deserves human rights, fuck that swindler-slaver race known as the jews.
Oliver Walker
Why do Americans help Jews so much?
Dylan Stewart
You know what's a bigger mistake that persian people are making right now?
They don't care about their culture and heritage instead they value some shitty religion that was forced to the persian countries..

Cyrus was tolerant towards many another groups within his empire.
If he wasn't tolerant of various kinds of people he conquered, his empire was going to dismantle.
Christian Stewart
And now Israel want to attack Iran
tolerating Jews is a mistake

Because they were the only war like vassals. They also gave refuge to Nestorians and Manichaeans but those weren't inclined to to do any fighting, probably part of the reason why they eventually got tired of them. On the other hand a Jewish ally in southern Arabia went to war with Roman Ethiopian allies. Israel even supported Iran up to the war with Iraq but had to stop doing so due to realpolitik.
Juan Cruz
Holy shit so he was dead the whole time

Because they were worried about Egypt. It's a big, powerful sub-unit of the empire, a lot of wealth, but a culture that goes back forever and they might decide they don't want to be ruled over by your Indo-European asses.
So, ideally, you want a friendly people nearby the Egyptians to help you project force, someone you can trust to at least help provision any army you need to send down there to crack heads should the Egyptians get uppity. The Sinai peninsula is closest, but nobody lives there, so what's the next closest thing? Israel/Canaan/Palestine. Ergo, try to make sure that the people who live there like you and are in your debt.

That's a fake translation, fucko.

Cambyses ordered that the amount of donations and funds for Egyptian temple priests to be restricted according to a demoitic source. Xerxes in an Old Persian inscription commissioned by him bragged about chasing off 'demons' / 'false-gods' in the conquered lands of his empire and that he destroyed their temples for Ahuramazda.
Their subjects are also depicted as being yoked and bound in their reliefs.

Because Cyrus was a nice guy.
he's probably be kicking himself in his grave over that decision based on how Israel repays the Iranians today .
Camden Cooper
>Iranians today totally have no link with the ancient PErsians because they were totally genocided and replaced by the ayyrabs cause thats how conquest works
ok
