Only "resistance" saves Palestine: Fearless Leader
Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday said "resistance" was the only way to save Palestine as he kicked off a two-day summit organized by Tehran in aid of Gaza and Palestinians. He said that said U.S. President Barack Obama was pursuing the same "wrong path" as George W. Bush in supporting Israel and described the Jewish state as a "cancerous tumor." The comments by Khamenei, who has the final say on all policy in Iran, are likely to disappoint the new U.S. administration which has been seeking to engage Iran but has called on Tehran to "unclench its fist." "Even the new president of America, who has come to power with slogans about changing Bush's policies, is defending state terrorism by talking about unconditional commitment to Israel's security," Khamenei told the conference. Khamenei's latest salvo comes as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with Palestinian leaders in West Bank during her first visit to the region since taking office.
