In a rare addresss, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, vowed that Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza would emerge with new leaders and not back down, after a wave of Israeli strikes that killed the groups’ senior figures.

Despite Khamenei’s appeal for Muslim unity, the speech made little effort to build unity with moderate Arab leaders, instead praising the Hamas attack on 7 October last year, in which 1,200 people were killed and that triggered the war in Gaza, as a ‘legitimate act’ and insisting the root of the region’s problems lay in foreign interference and Israel’s actions

@sexynelson100
Are people so blind and ignorant to forget all the crimes that Israel have committed over many decades..
How can anyone defend what Israel has done and continues to do. You really think Israel cares about the West ?
They just want others to fight and die for their wars. Israel is not a normal society. They will turn against the West.
Never forget the USS Liberty and King David hotel terrorist attacks on the US and UK that were carried out by Israel.

Thank you, Guardian, for circulating this. Obviously the Hamas action in October 2023 – targeting umpteen innocent civilians – was barbaric and unforgiveable. But apologists for Israel's expansionist war, and the outrageously disproportionate death toll, would do well to consider the burden of Khamenei's tirade: the Palestinians are the world's most contententious dispossessed people. (And there's PLENTY of those).

I mean bro you can still support the Palestinian cause, but Oct 7 was condemned as a war crime by almost every human rights organization. The same ones that condemn Israel
