Iran's Raisi backs Palestinian self-defence, warns Israel

President Ebrahim Raisi said on Sunday that Iran supports the Palestinians' right to self-defence and warned Israel must be held accountable for endangering the region, a day after Hamas attacked Israel.

“Iran supports the legitimate defence of the Palestinian nation," Raisi said, quoted by state television.

"The Zionist regime (Israel) and its supporters are responsible for endangering the security of nations in the region, and they must be held accountable in this matter."

He urged Muslim governments to "support the Palestinian nation" while praising "resistance" efforts by Hamas and Islamic Jihad as well as in countries including Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq.

Raisi had spoken earlier with leaders of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, official media said.

State news agency IRNA said he had "discussed the developments in Palestine" in separate phone calls with Islamic Jihad secretary general Ziyad al-Nakhalah and Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh.

Nazis blaming those they attacked = blaming the victim

Russia did the same thing after it attacked Ukraine

Simply in the name of self defense, Israel should completely destroy Hamas and any notion of a palestinian “state”. The West Bank and Gaza should become, again, purely Israeli regions. The word “Palestine” should be removed from the language. Anyone who displays the hamas flag should be deported/imprisoned.

Israel must totally terminate these aggressors.

Another reason to impeach Biden but the RINO party continues to sit on its butt completely neutered.

These idiot Muslims seem to forget Israel has nukes and if threatened with extinction would probably use them.
