Quds Day

Quds Day, the day dedicated to the Palestinian struggle for independence, was celebrated on Friday by the Iranian regime with rallies, as every year, and with anti-Zionist and anti-Israeli lash-outs, as usual. The only thing unusual was the crowds, which seemed smaller than in the previous years, after the regime took precautions in order to avoid the celebration turn into a anti-governmental protest.

The Quds Day was an opportunity for the president of Iran to restate his convictions regarding the state of Israel. He said that the Holocaust was a “big lie,” invented to convince the people of the world to create the state of Israel, a thesis he has expressed in more than one occasion, and even organized an international congress in Tehran on the scene, following the famous world scandal of the cartoons published in Denmark, in which the Prophet of Islam was being ridiculed.

Ahmadinejad added this time that even though the Palestinian National Authority gets its chance to demand statehood by the UN General Assembly, and a state of Palestinians is recognized, it still does not mean that “those who intent the annihilation of Israel” would stop fighting against the Jewish state.

He said that the creation of the state of Palestine could not satisfy the desire of the nations in the region to see Israel removed from their zone. “Don’t think that your existence will be recognized with the recognition of Palestine,” the Iranian president has warned, adding that “you don’t have any place in our region and among our nations,” and that Israelis wouldn’t be able to continue their lives in the territories of the new state.

International media reports that he spoke ones more about whipping Israel out, words ascribed to him in one more occasion, when he was quoted as saying that Israel must be whipped out of the map of the world.

In a later statement, Ahmadinejad said then he had never said such a thing, and that it was a mistranslation of his words and a lie told by the Western countries. He added that in fact he spoke of the end of the Zionist government, not of the state of Israel.

Quds Day was first introduced in Iran in 1979, when the country went under the rule of the Islamic revolution, and is celebrated each year on the last Friday of the Ramadan. It is an yearly celebration of solidarity with the Palestinian people and an yearly expression of Iranian hatred toward Israel and its control over Jerusalem.

The celebration is being celebrated in many Muslim countries, and was first conceived by ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
