Iran publishes book on how to outwit US and destroy Israel

While Secretary of State John Kerry and President Obama do their best to paper over the brutality of the Iranian regime and force through a nuclear agreement, Iran’s religious leader has another issue on his mind: The destruction of Israel.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has published a new book called “Palestine,” a 416-page screed against the Jewish state. A blurb on the back cover credits Khamenei as “The flagbearer of Jihad to liberate Jerusalem.”

A friend sent me a copy from Iran, the only place the book is currently available, though an Arabic translation is promised soon.

Obama administration officials likely hope that no American even hears about it.

‘Reclaiming Muslim lands’

Khamenei makes his position clear from the start: Israel has no right to exist as a state.

He uses three words. One is “nabudi” which means “annihilation.” The other is “imha” which means “fading out,” and, finally, there is “zaval” meaning “effacement.”(continued)

>>”The other is “imha” which means “fading out,” and, finally, there is “zaval” meaning “effacement.”(continued)”<<

Neither “imha” nor “zawal” are persian words.

“Imha” is Turkish I believe (Khamenei, ethnically, is actually an Azari Turk himself). “Zawal” is an arabic word.

I think it is interesting that those 2 words are used - seems to me they are meant to have ‘a broader appeal’, to the muslim world.
