Tehran, Iran, Sep. 04 – Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the jihad against Israel must continue and be strengthened, Iran’s semi-official daily Jomhouri Islami reported on Sunday.

“The only way to fight the Zionist enemy is to continue and increase resistance and jihad”, Ayatollah Khamenei said at a meeting on Saturday with secretary general of the Palestinian group Islamic Jihad, Ramadan Abdullah, the hard-line daily Jomhouri Islami wrote.

Iran’s official policy is to call for the annihilation of the Jewish state. The country’s clerical rulers have been strongly opposed to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ attempts to reach a comprehensive peace settlement with Israel. In August, Israel removed Jewish settlements from the Gaza Strip after decades of occupation.

Khamenei said that the Israeli withdrawal was “the valuable victory” of jihadist groups, whom he urged to continue their struggle.

“The Zionist enemy’s retreat from Gaza is insignificant if you compare it to the demands and rights of the Palestinian nation. But it was a great victory over the enemy and supporters of the Zionist regime. It showed the desperation of the occupiers of Quds (Jerusalem)”, Khamenei said.

Khamenei added that “the failure of the United States in Lebanon and Iraq, and in its political confrontation with Iran” were all signs of “the enemy’s front losing strength”.

Is the US losing strength?

[wagglebee]

Guess what Khamenei?
You're probably next!

I must have missed the failure of the US in Lebanon and Iraq. When did that happen? Seems to me both countries have recently had pretty fair elections and sent the extremists packing...

[TBP]

TheU.S. is not losing strength, but as in Vietnam, we are pursuing a no-win strategy. Now we must redouble our efforts. do some bombing. Take out terrorists in large, massive chunks. Make it clear that you do not mess with the United States of America.

Really? I guess the fundamentalists from the United Iraqi Alliance (or whatever its name was) did not get a majority of the seats. I guess they did not put "No law shall contradict Islamic principles" in the constitution. (Imagine if the First Amendment said: "No law shall contradict Christian principles.") I guess a Hezbollah endorsement did not mean a sure-winner in Lebanon. Gotta love these Muslims, they love freedom and hate extremism.

[DoraC]

It really is time to take out the murderous dictatorship in Iran, the no. 1 sponsor of terrorism in the world.

[Doug Loss]

And how does any of that constitute failure on our part? They held fair elections and those parties won. They (the gov'ts) aren't fighting us or anyone else except their own internal extremists. The Lebanese have expelled the Syrians. Seems to me we're succeeding.

Just because you don't like who they elected doesn't mean the elections weren't free and fair.

[SandRat]

You just go ahead and think that and preach that. Try something stupid and we got something first designed by Prof Oppenheimer and since greatly improved upon for you.

[DoraC]

Of course it was not a failure on our part. But you said: "and sent the extremists packing". Yeah, the bombing extremists, but not the supposedly normal extremists who want to establish a theocracy.

[mcg2000]

The rest of the world views it in much harsher terms because they cannot imagine handling a crisis (such as this) on their own.

[kublia khan]

Would some one please call a politician or a self appointed intellectual, I need to know if this is one of the peace loving Muslims I here so much about but never see or is one of the other variety. I'm confused

And the band plays on while they plot to destroy western civilization and the state of Israel.

[snarks_when_bored]

I'm surprised Khamenei found the time to make this foolish statement...are his aides having trouble rounding up 10-year-old boys for the old buggerer?

Iran’s official policy is to call for the annihilation of the Jewish state

The Jews made a mistake back in 638 A.D. when they laughed Muhammad out of Mecca ... they should have killed him. But hindsight is 20-20. Who would have thought anyone would actually take seriously the rantings of an illiterate, epileptic pedophile? Their mistake was they didn't take into consideration the dementia of a population which was, and continues to be, the product of incest.

[M. Espinola]

Khamenei, we had Katrina but you diaper headed jihadists have killer earthquakes, which you are about due for.

[freedom44]

In order for that Constitution to get passed it has to be ratified by the Iraqi people - forget about that ever happening.
