Quds Day, time to see Israel to perish

Mehdi Shakibayi:

When the great founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran designated the Day of Quds as a major initiative to globalize the Palestinian issue and have Israel to perish, fewer people imagined that the goals would be materialized in three decades.

Imam Khomeini knew the driving factors behind survival of Israel and accordingly devised a solution to materialize the goals.

The regime was established under the "Jewish National Land" manifested in the British Balfour Declaration (1917). The British authorities issued the declaration to attract international support for the establishment of a national homeland for the Jews and managed to attract world support for the occupation of Palestine under the declaration and the Holocaust myth.

The declaration soon turned into sanctity in the west so that no one dared expressed doubt about the true intentions behind it.

Following the formation of Israel in 1948, several other factors were devised to support Israel, including creation of regional security alliances and international military and financial supports. 'Israel' has survived despite all its contravention of international conventions due to the three supportive factors.

The late Imam in the 1970s took aim at the same factors. He globalized the Palestinian issue and helped the world people to know about the big oppression unleashed against the Palestinian people. The Quds Day declaration then contrasted the Balfour Declaration.

Imam Khomeini also put on agenda to push curtains aside from the face of the reactionary regional rulers who backed Israel. This dealt a blow to another source of support for Israel.

It was then that numerous resistance movements took form in the region and the Islamic Awakening was gradually tore apart the security alliances Israel enjoyed.

The regime now only relies on western support. But this sole source of support too is no more available for free as the west is now grappled with financial crises.

Israel's international status has been marred following the regime's military aggressions in recent years, namely in 2006 against Lebanon, in 2008 against Gaza and in 2010 against the international fleet of freedom. The regime is also grappled with an internal economic crisis.

On the other side however, Palestinians are more hopeful than ever and Muslim populations are getting freed from their dictators. They have pinned hope in a model of life presented by the Holy Koran.

On the 32nd anniversary of the declaration of the Day of Quds, it is no longer an impossible dream to see Israel to perish. The world nations now are realizing the rightful stand of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the late Imam Khomeini and seek to follow in the footsteps of the divine man.
