The Office of the Supreme Leader

Islamic umma must generate waves of wrath

In the wake of the Saturday atrocious attacks by the Zionist regime against the Gaza Strip in which dozens of innocent people, including children fell martyrs, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei the Leader of the Islamic Revolution issued a message Sunday evening.

The full text of the message comes in the following.

Bismillahe Rahman-e Rahim

Great Islamic Umma,
Dear Iranian nation,

The bloody events in Gaza are so gory and heartrending that it could not be conveyed through pen or tongue. The naive children or innocent women and men having already endured months of hermetic siege are now slain in their homes; before the eyes of their parents the blossoming children are perishing in the rancorous blaze of callous usurpers, ditto parents before the eyes of their naive children whereas those who profess civilization and humanity have sat watching the colossal human tragedy with ultimate audacity, even some sit pleased with impudence.

The world of Islam is by no means excused to remain tight-lipped towards the rare atrocity.

The Islamic umma is expected to generate waves of wrath and the Islamic leaders must slap the wrath of their nations in the face of the Zionist regime.

The hands of the American government are soaked with the blood of the innocent Palestinian people. This is the support of the arrogant and rogue state which has emboldened the Zionists to commit the unforgivable crimes.

The Islamic nations and governments must make the voice of the innocent Palestinians heard throughout the world and let their reposing consciousness wake up.

Has the American nation realized that their authorities have sacrificed all human sanctities for the sake of the Zionists? Have the European nations got aware how far their politicians have gone under the reign of the Zionist capitalists?

It is not accidental that in simultaneity with those military ferocities, the most sacred Islamic sanctities are left at the mercy of profanity in some other corner of the arrogance-dominated areas of the world. There certain malicious pens backed by some devil policies are insulting the Mercy for the World People (a title for Hazrat Muhammad S.A.) to whom, the venerable, and to his Divine message the whole human being is indebted.

Yes. The holy Islam by its freeing message and anti-oppression note could resurrect dignity in the nations, setting off alarm in the midst of the domineering powers and triggering fire of rancor in their hearts against the Muslim nations depicted in their wayward moves.

The rogue dominance-seekers should mind that they are not able to put out the ever-lightening flame of Islamic awakening through savagery or violence. The epic resistance of the Palestinian nation and the stunning valiance of their men and women, both young and old, in the face of the blood-thirsty Zionists provides evidence to that claim.

The ultimate result of the conflict would be the triumph of the truth over the false as He said 'then We took vengeance upon those who committed crimes; and it was ever a duty incumbent upon Us to help the believers' (30:47).

I offer greetings to the Gaza people, to its innocent and persevering men and women, to its naive children and to the withered blossoms. I pray God to confer patience and deliverance on them and make them the victors.

Greetings to you and Mercy of God
Sayyed Ali Khamenei
