Senior Cleric Slams Israeli Crimes Against Palestinians

 The text of Senior scholar Grand Ayatollah Hussein Nouri Hamedani’s message to the 8th American Human Rights Conference from the Perspective of the Iranian Leader of the Islamic Revolution at the University of Tehran is as follows:

In the name of God

Greetings to that honorable assembly;

The Holy Quran, in general, clarifies the policy of Muslims and the Islamic community with The US and Israel, which represent a section of Jews and Christians and are a manifestation of oppression to humanity, but in this crucial situation that has been going on for more than 9 months since Israel’s brutal attacks on Palestine and Gaza, Some Islamic countries not only do not reconsider their relations with America, which supports Israel, but instead of helping the people of Gaza, they send supplies and facilities to Israel.

The world is witnessing the genocide of the oppressed people of Gaza, thousands of innocent children died unjustly more than 40 thousand people of Gaza were martyred, more than 100 thousand people were injured and disabled, and about 2 million people were displaced from their homeland. The oppressed people of Gaza have neither access to fresh water nor enough food, and international aid is distributed in a very restricted way under the Zionist regime.

Where is the human conscience? Praise be to God, freedom-loving people and the public opinion of the world have become aware of the atrocities and crimes of The US and Israel in Palestine, and today the most important scientific centers and universities of Europe and America have become the scene of demonstrations in support of the Palestinians and the condemnation of the crimes of the Zionists, but the alliance of America and Israel means that no matter how many Zionists kill people and commit crimes against humanity, the bond of friendship between The US and Israel is always maintained, and according to this, America is the criminal that prevents the Security Council and the United Nations from issuing resolutions to order a ceasefire in Gaza and the Israeli government is successively equipped and armed.

What do The US and Zionist regime want from the lives of the oppressed Palestinian nation?

They have razed the entire land of Gaza to the ground, and according to experts, they have so far caused explosions and destruction equal to the size of four atomic bombs that were used in Hiroshima, which may take tens of years to rebuild. The displaced people are in ruins, the whole world witnessed these atrocities and so far no nation has been oppressed like the people of Gaza.

There are countless examples of American atrocities in the world and it is impossible to list them in one meeting. From Japan to Vietnam and the African Sahara and North and South America, the people of the world have witnessed the barbaric bombings by Americans and the killing of thousands of people all over the world and in Islamic countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, North Africa, and other regions. But today, the voice of the oppression of the people of Gaza is the loudest, and we hope that the divine promise will come true and the oppressors will be punished for their criminal acts.

The oppression of the Great Satan to the nation of Iran and the Islamic Republic has always continued in various forms. One day, with the support and arming of cowardly terrorists, more than 17,000 people of our innocent people were martyred, and of course, in huge explosions like the June 27, great people such as martyred Ayatollah Dr. Beheshti, and President Rajaei and Prime Minister were assassinated. They assassinated the beloved minister and many officials of this nation, and after the terrorists fled from Iran, they placed them under their protection in bases in Iraq, France, and Albania, and they are still the foot soldiers of the criminal US administration.

The formation of the International Conference on American Human Rights is an opportunity to show America’s anti-human rights behavior in the world, and especially this year, this conference should be the voice of the oppressed people of Palestine and Gaza.

The Supreme Leader’s letter in two stages breathed a new spirit into the youth of America and Europe in the issue of supporting the Palestinian people, hence the elites and intellectuals should pay more attention to this message.
