Supporting Palestine must turn into public culture

Secretary General of Iran-based Society in Defense of the Palestinian Nation (SDPN), Zahra Mostafavi says the Palestinian issue remains a major cause of the Islamic Revolution.

She made the remarks in a ceremony for the opening of the SDPN office in Isfahan central Iran.

“The mission of supporting the Palestinian nation needs a long-term cultural work and must not be confined to specific events, like the International Day of Quds rather it must be pursued through universities, schools, and even household meetings until its turns into a public culture,” Mostafavi said.

She then touched on the dangers of Israel for the regional economy, saying the world colonial powers aimed to set up a barrack in the region through the creation of Israel.

“They sought to incite insecurity in the region and were successful. The insecurity has prompted the regional states to export oil at low costs to the Western industries and purchase their weapons; at the same time, it ends up in the plunder of top regional youths for whom the west has paid nothing,” Mostafavi deplored.

“The insecurity caused by Israel has kept the regional states from attending to their development infrastructure,” she added.

The SDPN secretary general deplored “the extreme passive stance of the Muslim community towards Israel,” adding “the Zionist regime is a test for the reaction of the community.”

The SDPN secretary general said the Palestinian nation had taken to the field despite all the existing problems including the disarmament of the West Bank, the 12-ear siege on Gaza and the treason of the Arab governments.

She said the nation would also counter the new Israeli conspiracy against the al-Aqsa mosque.

She said everyone was supposed to help the nation and the inaugural of the SDPN office in Isfahan was a step in performing the undertaking.
