Nationwide arming of Palestinians, the definitive solution to the liberation of Palestine

More than 70 years have passed since the occupation of Palestinian lands. During these years, many efforts have been made on different fronts, particularly on the political front, to take back Palestine from the clutches of the occupiers. However, every effort has failed to restore the occupied territories for one reason or another. Although the Zionists have continuously tried to annex the Gaza Strip and the West Bank to the occupied lands and many incursions have been carried out against these territories, what has obviously prevented the success of all these incursions is a process that started with the Intifada and the military confrontation using rocks and bottle bombs, and today it has led to a confrontation with rockets and even missiles. In this Op-Ed, the author investigates the role of the armed resistance in the fight against the usurping Zionist regime.

Which final solution?

More than two decades ago, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution put forth a logical solution to the issue of Palestine, one that is based on international law, “Conduct a referendum among all the original people of Palestine, including Muslims, Christians and Jews, to decide the political system of Palestine.” This solution has been repeated so many times in his speeches in recent years and in the statements of other officials of the Islamic Republic that it has come to be known as “the official initiative of the Islamic Republic for resolving the issue of Palestine.”

The Coronavirus: The response of Western families vs. Muslim families

The word “Covidivorces,” which refers to divorces resulting from Covid-19, is a new term that has recently been added to dictionaries.[i] Covidivorces is defined to be a kind of divorce that comes about in today’s world due to issues arising from the coronavirus. Based on a Euronews report, the first instance of this kind of divorce was registered between a couple in New York this year on the 27th of March. Later on, China and France expressed concern about this being a crisis. A few weeks later, the French government announced that in the wake of the orders to stay at home, domestic violence had increased by 32 percent. The government assigned specific hotels to host the victims of this kind of violence. Eventually, after this crisis had spread throughout the world, the U.N. Secretary General called for support for women and children during the quarantine.[ii] The Economist reported about America that although other crimes have decreased these days, domestic violence has increased significantly.[iii] These reports are small examples of the thousands of reports, statements and expressions of concern in this regard, which circulate in news sites and official news networks, and they strengthen the idea that the coronavirus has challenged the foundation of the family institution. In this Op-Ed, the author investigates the reasons behind this crisis:

How to stop the Zionist regime from occupying the West Bank

After the announcement that the city of Bayt al-Muqaddas (Jerusalem) is the capital of the occupying Zionist regime and the subsequent relocation of the U.S. embassy to this Palestinian city did not draw a decisive response from the global community and the world of Islam, in the second step, the Zionist regime attempted to put a veneer of legitimacy on the occupation of the Golan Heights by way of U.S. recognition of this occupation. Now, in the latest step, it has tried to legalize the annexation of the West Bank by making it a law in the Knesset. The chain of actions aimed at occupation by the Zionist regime is moving in a direction that further proves to the world the regime’s lack of respect for international commitments. Having started with this introduction in this Op-Ed, there is first a review of the various dimensions of the plan to annex the West Bank to the bogus country of Israel, and next the consequences of this plan for the Palestinians and the region at large have been described. At the end, this article discusses the solution to this problem.

On the occasion of the 12th of Farvardin–the anniversary of the formal establishment of the Islamic Republic due to winning 98.2 percent of the votes in the national referendum in the year 1979–Khamenei.ir is publishing the following op-ed on the status of political independence in Iran before and after the Islamic Revolution.

How is today’s India different from Gandhi’s India?

Imam Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, issued a message on March 5, 2020, condemning the massacre of innocent Muslims in India. Describing the recent killings as “heartrending” to Muslims, His Eminence demanded that they be stopped and that the Indian government stand up to the extremist Hindus and the parties supporting them. The following is the viewpoint of Abulfazl Zare’i, the former political consultant to the Iranian Embassy in India, which he has shared with KHAMENEI.IR. In this essay, he endeavours to get to the root of the violence against Muslims in India. Inspired by the Leader’s message, he examines the crimes committed by the extremists in India under the support of the Indian government.

Where and when has Iran cornered the U.S.?

In his annual meeting on the anniversary of the capture of the American spy den (embassy) in Tehran, the Leader of the Revolution made a speech, referring to the U.S.'s old hostility against the Iranian nation and held, “You can see that the U.S. has taken every possible measure within this period of time [the past 41 years], especially against the institutions that were established following the Revolution, including the Islamic system itself. They oppose the Islamic system that rose up from the Revolution. They have shown as much animosity as they could. Of course, we were not passive or inactive in responding. We have done all we could to counter the U.S., and in many cases, we managed to corner and debilitate our opponent. The U.S. wasn’t able to defend itself well. This is clear, as the world can see.” The website of KHAMENEI.IR is publishing an analytical essay, written by Mahdi Faza'eli, political analyst and media expert, on this part of the statements of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution.

Why is Iran’s involvement in the region more important than ‘the most essential matters of the country’?

Opening relations to the east makes Iran a commerce hub in the region: analyst

With economic sanctions and wars waged against the republic since 1979, Iran is fully aware of the potential economic boom deriving from a steady development of the country and its resources. Opening relations to the east will also make Iran an important hub in the region for commerce in terms of imports and exports. As Ayatollah Khamenei has indicated clearly, this hypothesis needs to be developed in a correct way to maintain Iranian interests central. In this process, lessons from history come useful.

Since 1979, Iran has championed the cause of Palestinian self-determination

After the Palestinian resistance, it was the Islamic Republic of Iran, which drove this slow but steady tide against the racist state. Lebanese Sunni scholar, Sheikh Ahmed al-Zein, pointed out that it was Iran’s leader Imam Khomeini who ‘moved the focus onto Palestine, not out of hatred of Judaism but to safeguard human dignity, to safeguard justice, and in rejection of aggression, racism and extremism’. Since 1979, the Islamic Republic consistently elevated and championed the cause of Palestinian self-determination.

When it comes to power and profits, any promises U.S. makes are worthless

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) overthrew the government of Mohammad Mosaddeg, despite U.S. assurances of assistance to him. He instituted democratic reforms, cutting the power of the brutal, U.S.-supported Shah. Additionally, Iran is an oil-rich nation, and that natural resource was coveted by the United Kingdom and the U.S. When it comes to power and profits, the U.S. has no regard for human life, human rights or self-determination. And any promises it makes are worthless. If Dr. Mosaddeg stood in the way of unfettered access to Iranian oil at whatever price the U.S. wanted to pay, then his government had to be eliminated. In 1953, he was overthrown by the U.S. government.

The Supreme Leader clearly refers to the non-trustworthiness of the US of A and her vassal allies, i.e. the European Union and her member countries, foremost, Germany, France and the UK. And he is of course right. Western ‘partners’ are almost unilaterally not reliable.
