Supreme Leader: Occupying regime openly committing crimes

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, April 14, IRNA
Palestine Conference-Supreme Leader
Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said in his key note address here Friday at International Palestine Conference, "The occupying regime of Palestine commits crimes openly and quite proudly in occupied territories.

After welcoming the distinguished guests of the conference, the Supreme Leader said that occupation of the Holy Qods is the gravest problem facing the Islamic world today, asking the guests of he conference to seek a way to solve this problem.

Congratulating the auspicious birth anniversary of Great Prophet of Islam (PBUH), the Supreme Leader considered designation of the current Iranian year as the Year of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) as a source of inspiration for the Muslims throughout the world, particularly in Palestine.

"The Islamic awakening, that is main characteristic of the contemporary era, is best observed in Palestine today," added the Supreme Leader.

Ayatollah Khamenei said that throughout the past sixty years that has passed since the establishment of the usurper Zionist regime the Palestinians have undergone various tests, ranging from homelessness, living as refugees, destruction of their houses, being massacred, expecting assistance of international bodies, and getting engages in loss-loss talks.

The Supreme Leader said that the result of all those developments is the coming into the scene of the new Palestinian generation that is determined to liberate their motherland.

"The Jihadi groups emerged in Palestine and Lebanon and the culture of Jihad and martyrdom was revived as the power of nations in the region as a decisive and endless source," added the Supreme Leader.

Ayatollah Khamenei referred to repeated retreats of the enemy, such as abandoning its arrogant motto "From Nile to Euphrates", that is today coupled with setbacks of its staunch supporter, the United States, that is "more hated in the region and the world than ever before."
The Palestinians' jihad is a part of the Jihad of the entire Islamic Ummah today and those that warn the Muslims of the power of the enemy are mistaken, since the cost of remaining silent would be heavier than the cost of brave confrontation with the enemy, aid Ayatollah Khamenei.

The outcome of the historical experience, is the emergence of new and brave generation in Palestine while the opposite party is going on a different direction. It embarked on ruthless aggression and military attacks on the neighboring states cherishing the idea of 'from the Nile to Euphrates' and launching political and economic campaign against the Muslim nations by taking advantage of weakness or betrayal of certain leaders of Islamic nations.

The UK and US always shamefully extended support for crimes of the occupying regime and helped the usurper regime confront the Palestinian people.

"It is true that Palestine is now the scene of the worst possible tragedy and murder against Palestinians. Let's imagine Palestine in 1940s. It was a territory in the heart of Arab nations.

It was a weak state and its neighbors were at the service of colonialists. They got the territory from its real owners and established a puppet regime backed by the Zionists from the US. The occupying regime did not pay attention to numerous resolutions of the United Nations Security Council and invaded Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon.

"Now the Zionist regime impudently speaks about murder and assassination of Palestinians, and notorious terrorists come to power there one after the other, with the criminal of Sabra and Shatila was the last one to take power in the occupying regime," the Supreme Leader said.
