Iran's leader calls for Jihad against Israel

Jumpin' Jihad


TEHRAN (AFP) - Iran's supreme leader hailed Palestinian militants for "expelling the Zionist regime from Gaza" and called for the "continuation and fortification of resistance and Jihad," or holy struggle.

"The only way to confront the Zionist enemy is the continuation and fortification of resistance and Jihad," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was quoted as saying Saturday in a meeting with the militant group Islamic Jihad's secretary general Ramazan Abdullah.

"Although the retreat of the Zionist regime from Gaza is short of Palestinian rights and demands, it is however a big victory that shows the inability of the occupier regime of Qods (Jerusalem)," the ISNA news agency quoted Khamenei as saying.

He added that "with the cooperation of Jihadi groups", further "success is also possible in other parts of the occupied territories".

Iran is frequently accused of funding and supplying Palestinian militant groups, but the clerical regime says it only provides "moral" backing. Tehran also refuses to recognise Israel

#1  You know, Israel should really take that as a formal declaration of war and beat the crap out of them, destroy their infrastructure as a warning and when people scream, point out that Iran declared war by calling for Jihad acted in accordance with that.

Course nuking Tehran would be funnier and more along the lines of what I would do, but I'm a mean and vicious Imperialist Warmonger.
