A senior Iranian cleric has urged the Muslim states to support the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip by sending them weapons to defend themselves.
"The oppressed Palestinian people can stand up to Israel if they receive political and financial support and also weapons," Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani said in his Friday prayers sermons. "Over the past week, the Palestinain people in the Gaza Strip have found a large number of supporters, many of who are interested in launching Jihad against Israel," IRNA quoted the former Iranian president as saying.
He noted that Tell Aviv is suffering from delusions of grandeur, adding that Israeli tanks cannot break the resistance of Gaza.
But they could do a nice facsimile of it ...
"Israel thinks it is more powerful than Arab states and other regional countries, while it has no weapon but the weapon of brutality," said the chairman of Iran's Expediency Council.
Citing that Hamas' newly developed home-made rockets are capable of destroying Israeli tanks and hit targets deep in the southern parts of the occupied territories, Rafsanjani said that Israel is covered with fear and enjoys no peace of mind.
He also warned against any Israeli ground incursion into the strip, which he said would be repelled by Palestinian resistance.

He'll no doubt be happy to know the IDF has anticipated his request and is sending weapons at selected Palestinians. Loud reports suggest they're being received.

Maybe that's how Rafsanjani plans to send weapons to Gaza -- by fax.

Well .... remember that radioactive ship that was intercepted off the Somali horn?
Iranian, reportedly destined to be a dirty bomb on Israeli shores.
Yeah, by ship, offloaded onto small boats that will run the Israeli blockade, or through Egypt and then tunnels if any are left, or over the border dessert at night.

What kind of weapon protects you from a JDAM coming through your bedroom window?
multiculturalism combined with PC indoctrination have led to the kinds of spineless leaders that will protect these sacs of fecal material from a JDAM through said window. The KGB began building that shield more than 5 decades ago and even tho the soviet empire fell, the academic fifth columnists in the west have worked continuously to finish that work.

How about Israel sends a few weapons to Rafsanjani? They have at least two submarines in the Red Sea that can lauch Tomahawk cruise missiles. Tomahawks can, and frequently do, carry nuke warheads. A nice midnight sunrise over Qom would probably do wonders for the combined IQ of Iran.
