Deir Yassin Massacre

The nations of our region will never forget the Deir Yassin tragedy: Ayatollah Khamenei

April 9th marks the anniversary of Deir Yassin massacre which took place in 1948 when Zionist agents attacked the Palestinian village of Deir Yassin and killed innocent children, women and men. On the 68th anniversary of the tragedy, khamenei.ir publishes a review of Ayatollah Khamenei's remarks on the event.

The historical memory of the nations of our region will never forget how colonial governments organized ruthless terrorist organizations such as the World Zionist Organization and more than ten similar other organizations and how they gave rise to the Deir Yassin tragedy and similar events in order to occupy Palestine and to force its oppressed people out of their homes.

Since its establishment up until today, the Zionist regime has openly continued its terrorist activities inside and outside Palestine, and it has shamelessly announced them. Current and previous leaders of the Zionist regime openly take pride in their history of terror and - in certain cases - their participation in terrorist activities.

The regime of the United States of America is another example, a regime that has left a long trail of terrorist activities as well as financial and arms support for organized terrorists in the regional countries. Deadly raids of drones on defenseless families in the villages and underprivileged areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan, which have turned weddings into mourning ceremonies on many occasions, the Blackwater crimes in Iraq and the killing of Iraqi civilians and prominent figures, supporting bombers in Iran, Iraq and Pakistan, assassinating nuclear scientists in Iran with the cooperation of MOSSAD, shooting down the Iranian passenger plane in the Persian Gulf and killing around 300 innocent children, men and women - these are examples of this disgraceful and unforgettable trail of crimes.
