Palestinians must decide fate of Palestine: Ayatollah Khamenei
2018-06-11
[PRESSTV] Fearless Leader of the Islamic Revolution
...Iran's doddering head theocrat...
Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei
...the successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and the actual dictator of Iran...
says the fate of Paleostine must be determined by Paleostinians, including Moslems, Jews and Christians, who originally lived in the historical land of Paleostine.

"Today, democracy is a modern method, which is accepted by the entire world. We said that to determine the fate of the historical country of Paleostine, they must refer to the people of Paleostine and this proposal has been registered at the United Nations
...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks...
as the Islamic Theocratic Republic’s opinion," Ayatollah Khamenei said in a meeting with a group of university professors and academics in Tehran on Sunday.

The Leader added that a poll must be conducted among Paleostinians, who have lived there since 100 years or 80 years ago, including Moslems, Jews and Christians, and whether they live inside or outside the occupied territories.

"Then whatever they said [and voted for] it must be done. Is this a bad idea? Aren’t European countries ready to understand this?" the Leader asked.

#6  I think the idea accelerated after the Yom Kippur War when the Arab states gave up on trying to kill Israel directly and needed to pretend Israel was the bully.

#5  CrazyFool. Arab-Israeli war was in 1948. I think the Pals were invented soon after.

Prussians and Silesians need not apply (even thought they lost a war a mere 3 years prior to the failed Arab-Paleo war on nascent Israel).

#3  Did the 'Palestinians' even exist 80 years ago? Weren't they made up by the UN in order to have something to hang around Israels neck like a weightstone?

#1  "The Leader added that a poll must be conducted among Paleostinians, who have lived there since 100 years or 80 years ago" Yes, let's poll the 80 year old Palestinians and get their opinions because the young ones have rocks for brains.
