A round of applause is due to Biden’s handlers for this development. This is always the fruit of appeasement: emboldening of the aggressor.
Meanwhile, note yet again that Khameneni frames the Israeli-Palestinian conflict wholly in Islamic terms, yet Islam is the one aspect of the conflict that Western analysts never take into account. Find out that why that foredooms all their “peace initiatives” to failure in The Palestinian Delusion.
“Ayatollah Khamenei: Balance tipped in Islam’s favor, Zionist enemy in decline,” Press TV, May 7, 2021:
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has marked the International Quds Day, saying Israel is not a country but a terrorist base against the people of Palestine and other Muslim nations.
“Since the first day, the Zionists turned the usurped Palestine into a terrorist base. Israel is not a country, rather it is a terrorist camp against the Palestinian nation and other Muslim nations,” the Leader said on Friday.
“Fighting against this despotic regime is fighting against oppression and terrorism. And this is a collective responsibility,” Ayatollah Khamenei added.
The Leader voiced confidence that the downward movement of the Zionist regime has already started and “it will never stop”.
Ayatollah Khamenei said the issue of Palestine continues to be the most important and active issue for the Islamic Ummah collectively.
He said the policies of the oppressive and cruel capitalism “have driven a people out of their homes, their homeland and their ancestral roots and instead, it has installed a terrorist regime and has housed a foreign people therein.”
The following is the full text of Ayatollah Khamenei’s speech:
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and peace and greetings be upon our Master and Prophet, Ab-al-Qassem Al-Mustafa Muhammad, upon his pure and immaculate household, upon his chosen companions and upon those who follow them until the Day of Judgment.
Palestine is the most important issue for the Islamic Ummah
The issue of Palestine continues to be the most important and active issue for the Islamic Ummah collectively. The policies of the oppressive and cruel capitalism have driven a people out of their homes, their homeland and their ancestral roots and instead, it has installed a terrorist regime and has housed a foreign people therein.
The logic behind the establishment of the Zionist regime
Can one find a logic weaker and shakier than that of the establishment of the Zionist regime? On the basis of their claim, the Europeans oppressed the Jews during the Second World War, therefore they believe that the oppression against the Jews should be revenged by displacing a nation in West Asia and by committing a horrible massacre in that country!
This is the logic which western governments have relied on with their wholehearted and blind support for the Zionist regime, thereby disproving all their false claims about human rights and democracy. It has been 70 years now that they have been sticking with this laughable and at the same time tragic story and every now and then, they add a new chapter to it.
Fighting against the Zionist regime is a collective responsibility
Since the first day, the Zionists turned the usurped Palestine into a terrorist base. Israel is not a country, rather it is a terrorist camp against the Palestinian nation and other Muslim nations. Fighting against this despotic regime is fighting against oppression and terrorism. And this is a collective responsibility.
Weakness and discord in the Islamic Ummah prepared the ground for the usurpation of Palestine
Another noteworthy point is that although that the usurping regime was established in 1948, the ground for occupying that sensitive Islamic region had been prepared years before that. Those specific years coincided with the active interference of westerners in Islamic countries with the purpose of establishing secularism and excessive and blind nationalism and also with the goal of installing despotic governments who were infatuated with or controlled by the West.
Studying those events in Iran, Turkey and Arab countries stretching from West Asia to North Africa reveals this bitter truth that weakness and discord in the Islamic Ummah paved the way for the disastrous usurpation of Palestine, allowing the world of arrogance to deliver that blow to the Islamic Ummah.
Westerners and Easterners colluding with one another over the matter of usurping Palestine
It is instructive that at that time, the capitalism and communism camps colluded with the rich Zionists. It was the English who masterminded the plot and who persisted in it and then, Zionist capitalists executed it with their money and weapons. The Soviet Union too was one of the first governments that officially recognized the establishment of that illegitimate regime and later on dispatched a large number of Jews to that area.
The usurping regime was actually an outcome of that situation in the world of Islam on the one hand, and of a European plot, invasion and transgression, on the other.
In the present time, the balance has been tipped in favor of the world of Islam
Today, the situation in the world is not like those days. We should keep this reality within sight. Today, the balance of power has swung in favor of the world of Islam. Various political and social incidents in Europe and in the United States have laid bare the weaknesses and the deep structural, managerial and moral conflicts among westerners. The electoral events in the US and the notoriously scandalous failures of the hubristic and arrogant managers in that country, the unsuccessful one-year fight against the pandemic in the US and Europe and the embarrassing incidents that ensued, and also the recent political and social instabilities in the most important European countries are all signs of the downward movement of the western camp.
On the other hand, the growth of the Resistance forces in the most sensitive Islamic regions, the development of their defensive and offensive capabilities, their growth of self-awareness, motivation and hope in Muslim nations, the increasing tendency to follow Islamic and Quranic slogans and the growth of independence and self-reliance in nations are auspicious signs of a better future….
Palestine and Quds has been described in the Holy Quran as the “Holy Land”. It has been tens of years now that the most impure and malicious human beings have been occupying this pure land: they are devils who massacre honorable human beings and then they confess to it with complete shamelessness. They are racists who have been harassing, for more than 70 years, the main owners of the land by murdering, looting, imprisoning and torturing them, but, thank God, they have not been able to break their willpower.
Palestine is alive and it continues to resist and it will finally overcome the malicious enemy with God’s assistance. Holy Quds and the entire Palestine belongs to those people [the Palestinians] and they will regain its possession again: “Nor is that for Allah any great matter.” [The Holy Quran, 14:20]….
Move forward in the Name of God and know that: “Allah will certainly aid those who aid His cause” [The Holy Quran, 22: 40]….

Absolutely hilarious. Utter fantasy.

He’s pointing a finger at Israel, while the other nine are pointing back at him.
His is the terrorist state. His is the ideology/religion of oppression, barbarity, demonism,
His evil reign and that of the whole of islam…in every corner, every hamlet, every village, every large city and every hole-in-the wall or cave…will soon be annihilated by One this creepy, double-ugly fool denies and about Whom he tells absolute lies.
It will be a day of good riddance to evil rubbish.

Except, Mr Ayatollah, that few outside your country believe in the shi’a sect that you follow. Yeah, Bahrein, Azerbaijan and Iraq do, but your Houthi puppets don’t, and neither do Arab shi’a in Saudi Arabia, Egypt or other countries

Daniel Triplett says
American bank robbers, extortionists, rapists, and pedophiles know what they are doing is immoral and wrong, but they do it anyway because on balance, the self-perceived reward and gain they get from their actions is worth the immorality and guilt.
Western Kafirs tend to think the rest of the world, and the Ummah, share the same worldview and morality as we. So, we assume the Ummah knows what they are doing is wrong and immoral, but they do it anyway because the reward they gain is worth the guilt and immorality they feel because of their actions.
But this isn’t the case at all.
The Ummah feels no guilt or shame at all because of their actions or worldview. They’re unburdened with any immorality or crises of conscience.
In the minds of Iranians and the Ummah at large, THEY are moral and righteous in their actions and pursuits. Divine even. In their minds, they honestly believe THEY are the moral and righteous people, and you and I are the bad people — the immoral evil people disrespecting ourselves and God.
So, any such exercise where we try to “reward” them with cash, military weapons, or treaties, so that they see the error of their ways, is all just counter-productive delusional fantasy.
We want to convince ourselves that the Ummah is “turning away from their bad behavior” due to incentives we’re offering them “to do the right thing.” But in their minds, they’ve been doing the “right thing” all along. So, any such hudna, for our part that has been foolishly continuously entered repeatedly across 1400 years, is really just a delusional exercise in self-extermination.
Per Islamic Doctrine and Law, we’re 1400 years into a zero-sum Global War of Islamic Manifest Destiny, which will never end until the world is either 100% Islamic, or 0% Islamic.
somehistory says
Good detectives must put themselves into the mind of the serial killer if they hope to stop him from doing what he enjoys. They don’t become killers, but they know what to expect because they learn the thinking processes of the serial killer mind.
I believe you have put yourself in the mind of the mozlum…not to become one, but to see why things don’t work as they might for non-mozlum warmongers, rapists, rapers of children, etc…..offers of rewards as you describe, etc.
The average detective never has a serial killer case to solve. Some have a serial killer in their jurisdiction, but don’t realize it. It takes some real detective work to figure it out and to be able to solve the case. There are said to be about 100 serial killers in the U.S. killing at any given time. One of my professors who knew several, said their are many more than that.
mozlums, like serial killers, must be understood to be defeated, and the ones attempting to defeat them, must know what is and isn’t a viable weapon.

Good analysis, Daniel.
Wellington says
I agree, gravenimage. And Daniel Triplett’s on point comment can be extrapolated to fit any totalitarian ideology, every one of which functions in a Bizarro World of the immoral posing as moral.
This is why comparisons of Islam to, say, Nazism are so very often so very accurate. For instance, Hitler, Himmler, Heydrich et al. thought they were doing the world a favor by exterminating Jews.
Showing contempt for freedom is another feature of every totalitarian belief system Here Islam is no different from Nazism—and Marxism.
Up is down and bad is good—classic Bizarro World thinking which is the essence of all totalitarianism.

From our informed point of view, as Daniel Triplett has laid out so well, rewarding them is “counter-productive delusional fantasy”.
From their point of view any “rewards” given them by us are blessings from Allah; not really from us immoral disbelievers at all – only given through us by the will and power of Allah; not to our credit at all.
Allah will ultimately take everything from us whom he hates and give it to those who are his submissive believers. Exactly as Daniel expresses so concisely – Islamic Manifest Destiny, 100% for Allah.
Islamic Manifest Destiny ! Excellent way to put it !

Yes of course, any accommodation or appeasements or reward from us to them is simply what they believe is due to them and confirmation of their morally corrupt cause and of course in the process we are corrupted by doing so.

No mention, of course, from this old rag headed dude about the islamic warriors conquering the Jews, and Christians, that lived all over the Middle East, long before islam reared its ugly belief system upon the World, even Afghanistan was a Buddhist Nation until islamic savages started cutting off the heads of people who would not follow this evil Fascist Religious Cult.
I guess being such a silly old fart like this dude, he has to believe his own lies about History, and I often look into the eyes of these islamic “scholars” and I see only pure hate, no love, compassion, tolerance or understanding, just hate of anybody who doesnt follow him, which reminds of a certain dude that turned up in Germany all those years ago.
