Continue resistance against Israel, Iran’s leader tells Hamas
December 16th, 2009 - 12:33 am ICT by IANS ( 1 comment )Tehran, Dec 15 (DPA) Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, called on the Palestinian militant group Hamas Tuesday to continue resistance against Israel as the only way to save Palestine, state media reported.
“The only way to save Palestine is resistance and victory belongs to those who believe in God and Jihad (holy war) in God’s way,” the Ayatollah told visiting Hamas politburo head Khaled Meshaal.
“Iran considers the Palestinian issue as its own and regards supporting this movement as its Islamic duty,” added the Iranian leader.
Khamenei, who, according to Iran’s constitution, has the final say on all state affairs, said that the future of Palestine was bright despite all the hardship and oppression.
“One of the main reasons for the enmity of the world’s arrogance against Iran is the Palestinian issue,” Khamenei said. “And if Iran would have made concessions over Palestine, they would have less enmity with us.”
Some observers believe that even the nuclear dispute with Iran could be settled if Iran acknowledged the sovereignty of Israel and stopped support for the anti-Israeli militant groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
“But we will continue this support and make no concessions at all,” the ayatollah added.
Meshaal was quoted as saying that Hamas would never bow to political and military pressures, adding that resistance is part of the main strategy of Hamas.
The Hamas politburo head also reiterated once again that, if Iran was attacked by Israel over the nuclear dispute, then Hamas would stand beside the Islamic state.
In a meeting Sunday with Meshaal, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad promised Hamas continued support in its fight against Israel until what he called the “imminent collapse of the Zionist regime
(Israel).”
Meshaal said in the meeting with Ahmadinejad that Hamas would continue its fight against Israel and its supporters “until final victory.”
Ahmadinejad has several times stressed that, as Israel was on the verge of elimination, Palestinians should stay vigilant and prepared for the liberation of holy Quds (Jerusalem).
Iran does not acknowledge the sovereignty of Israel and supports the Hamas movement. It has, however, stressed repeatedly that its support for Hamas is of a spiritual, and not material, nature.

ayotollah chomeini, machmoud amadinijad,ghadaffi, adolph hitler and ivan the terrible etc etc all belong to the crockodile predator branch of homo sapiens all natural born killers all natural born predators who i am sure form a genetic type just like pigs that carry trichinella spiralis and killed millions throughout history(measly pork). they are everywhere and even have their jewish supporters who belong to the satmar and natura carta sects in israel. here i met over 20 sephardic jews who supported the assassination of rabin by yigal amir. these type of cockroaches also infest our planet(with apologies to the cockroaches who really clean up human dirt). read about the lubavitcher rebbe yosele schneersohn who was rescued from the warsaw ghetto by nazi officers aome of which were mishlings. even he committed a hillul hashem saying that the jews deserved the holocaust and hitler was a divine messenger of hashem because the jews failed to observe the torah. these fanatic extremist types generally sincere suicidal and murderous exist everywhere in all religions and in all shapes and colours and should be punished according to the extent of the evil they so sincerely espouse. they are often revered teachers in the islamic madrases who pervert their own children. on an individual level which can be called psychosis or madness even charles manson that LSD acid freak who degutted sharon tate and murdered her baby belong to this type of dangerous human being and are usually serial killers. this kind of evil has and will always be part of our lives and must be fought with all our heart and mind. on this question i part with buddhism which views all this evil as karmic not to be fought as the real world is considered maya which is a total corruption of buddhas way of being and thinking. unfortunately dutch a khmer rouge murderer and a born again christian will not be convicted in a cambodia court of law. certainly the opposite of the lord gautama buddhas dying exclamation be wise and mindful in all action.dr adam rosenblatt psychiatrist, on line free lance international journalist. mb. bs. md.
