The Supreme Leader of Iran, Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei, has written an open letter to American students, commending their solidarity with the oppressed Palestinians.
In this letter, Imam Khamenei addresses the issue of Palestine and acknowledges the widespread support for the Palestinian cause among students on university and college campuses across the United States.
The letter from Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei to American students, praising their defense of the Palestinian people was as follows.
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the MercifulI am writing this letter to the young people whose awakened conscience has moved them to defend the oppressed women and children of Gaza.Dear university students in the United States of America, this message is an expression of our empathy and solidarity with you. As history unfolds, you are standing on the right side of it.You have now formed a branch of the Resistance Front and have begun an honorable struggle against your government’s ruthless pressure—a government which openly supports the usurper and brutal Zionist regime.
The greater Resistance Front, which shares your understandings and feelings, has been engaged in the same struggle for many years. The goal of this struggle is to end the blatant oppression inflicted on the Palestinian nation by the brutal Zionist terrorist network.
After seizing their country, the Zionist regime has subjected them to the harshest of pressures and tortures.The apartheid Zionist regime’s genocide today is the continuation of extreme oppressive behavior which has been ongoing for decades.
Palestine is an independent land with a long history, comprised of Muslims, Christians, and Jews.After World War II, the capitalist Zionist network, with British assistance, gradually imported thousands of terrorists into this land.
These terrorists attacked cities and villages, murdered tens of thousands, and pushed many into neighboring countries. They seized homes, businesses, and farmlands, formed a government in the usurped land of Palestine, and called it Israel.
After England’s initial help, the United States became the greatest supporter of this usurper regime, providing it with political, economic, and military support. In an act of unforgivable recklessness, the United States even aided the regime’s production of nuclear weapons.
The Zionist regime has used an iron-fist policy against the defenseless people of Palestine from the beginning, intensifying its brutality, terror, and repression in complete disregard of all moral, human, and religious values.
The United States government and its allies refused to even frown upon this state terrorism and ongoing oppression. Today, some remarks by the US government regarding the horrific crimes taking place in Gaza are more hypocritical than real.
The Resistance Front emerged from this dark environment of despair, and the establishment of the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran expanded and fortified it.The global Zionist elite, which owns or influences most US and European media corporations through funding and bribery, has labeled this courageous, humane resistance movement as “terrorism.”
Can one call a people a terrorist nation for defending themselves on their own land against the crimes of the occupying Zionists? And is helping such a nation and strengthening it an act of terrorism?The oppressive leaders of global hegemony mercilessly distort even the most basic human concepts.
They portray the ruthless, terrorist Israeli regime as acting in self-defense, yet they portray the Palestinian Resistance, which defends its freedom, security, and right to self-determination, as terrorists!I assure you that today circumstances are changing.
A different fate awaits the important region of West Asia. The people’s conscience has awakened on a global scale, and the truth is coming to light.Moreover, the Resistance Front has grown in strength and will become even stronger.
And history is turning a page.Besides you students from dozens of American universities, there have also been uprisings in other countries among academics and the general public.The support and solidarity of your professors are significant and consequential developments. This can offer some comfort in the face of your government’s police brutality and the pressures it is exerting on you. I too am among those who empathize with you young people and value your perseverance.The Quran’s lesson for us Muslims and all of humanity is to stand up for that which is right: “So be steadfast as you have been commanded” (11:112).
The Quran’s lesson for human relations is: “Do not oppress and do not be oppressed” (2:279).The Resistance Front advances by a comprehensive understanding and the practice of these and hundreds of other such commands – and will attain victory with the permission of God.
My advice to you is to become familiar with the Quran.
This letter is a strong statement of support and solidarity from Imam Khamenei to American students advocating for the Palestinian cause.
