Qodsna interviewed with Mark Glenn on the occasion of the International Quds Day. The full interview comes as follows:<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Oodsna: The Islamic Republic of Iran has defined support for the cause of Palestine as one of its priorities since the first day of the victory of the Islamic Revolution. As you know, Imam Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Revolution who designated the last Friday of holy month of Ramadan as the International Quds Day and had a special view on the Palestinian issues as well as fighting against the Zionist regime and described Israel as a "cancerous tumor". What was the goal of Imam Khomeini in designating a special day for the Palestinian people?<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mark Glenn: In terms of Al Quds–Jerusalem–and the sacred day which Imam Khomeini, may he rest in peace, set aside for its remembrance, it is of paramount importance that ALL peoples in every corner of the globe understand exactly how DANGEROUS to the continuance of all life on earth is the presence of what is termed ‘the Jewish state’, or as is often said in certain circles, the ‘Zionist entity’.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Despite what has been a very cunning propaganda\/disinformation campaign aimed at deluding the Gentile Christians and Muslims whose roots in Al Quds are deep and who possess the only legitimate claim to its holiness, the creation of the Zionist entity was never about creating a mere ‘homeland’ for the Jews.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Nor was it limited to 'settling' some small sliver of land on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
As made crystal clear in the various ‘prophetic’ writings which the Jews have used as their recipe book in cooking up this apocalyptic stew to serve to the world, it was FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OF ITS UNHOLY BIRTH about creating a totalitarian political\/economic system that would rule the world with a rod of iron and with Jerusalem Al Quds as its headquarters.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Having said this, Imam Khomeini, may he rest in peace, in establishing a yearly day at the end of Ramadan where all Muslims devote and consecrate themselves to the liberation of Al Quds from the clutches of Satan’s children have in effect sanctified themselves to the salvation of the entire human race which is, as I already stated, mortally threatened with extermination if the Jews succeed in getting Jerusalem completely within their devilish grasp.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Qodsna: A genocide is underway in Gaza. The Palestinian death toll in the Gaza Strip from ongoing Israeli attacks during the 6 months has risen to 33,000 women and children. Israel waged its brutal war on besieged Gaza on October 7 after Hamas carried out an unprecedented operation against the occupying entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people. Do you believe that Israel committing genocide in Gaza?<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mark Glenn: the first thing that needs to be understood is that the Jewish State, driven by her Judaism\/Zionism, does not view non-Jews as human beings. This is not something that began with Herzl, Ben Gurion, or even Netanyahu himself, but rather is something deeply embedded within Jewish religious thought going back thousands of years. The rabbis of the Jewish state, as well as many politicians such as Ben Gvir, Smotrich and others, have made clear that their Judaism views Gentiles as impure animals and that Jews are morally obliged to murder them, and especially in ‘purifying’ the land that was stolen from the Palestinians, Lebanese, Jordanians, Syrians, etc. of last century.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Having said this then, the current genocide taking place in Gaza must be understood within the context of the religious teachings\/beliefs that are driving all of this, just a few of which are reprinted below–<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
'When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are to possess and drives out the many nations larger and stronger than you, and when the Lord your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy. Do not save alive anything that breathes...Do not intermarry with them...Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons...Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and burn their idols in the fire, for you are a people holy to the Lord your God who has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession...' --Book of Deuteronomy<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It is these deranged and diabolical beliefs that are driving the current Genocide, and again, as already stated, they did not begin with Herzl, but rather are thousands of years old in their existence. Not until rational people begin to understand this fact and deal with it in a rational manner will there be any solution to the problems existing not only in the Middle East, but throughout the world where the Jews maintain and wield their power.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Qodsna: How do you assess the social awareness in your country about ground facts concerning Israel’s war crimes and its occupation practices?<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mark Glenn: I would like to provide an optimistic appraisal of the general ‘social awareness’ of Israel’s war crimes\/Genocide, but unfortunately, the facts on the ground simply won’t allow for this. The American people are without a doubt, generally the most ill-informed people on the planet when it comes to world politics, and especially what is going on in the Middle East. This is due to 2 main factors–<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
1. Near-complete control of the media by organized Jewish interests who paint the Jewish state and her people as the eternal and innocent victims and with Muslims as terrorists,<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
And–<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
2. Jewish control of the Christian churches in America, where week after week, the American people are told that the Jews are ‘God’s chosen people’ who were given the Holy land as a ‘promise’ and they it is their right to do whatever is necessary in possessing it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Yes, there are protests taking place, but statistically speaking, the numbers are so small as to be almost non-existent. The American people are sleepwalking right into WWIII and for the most part, are unaware of this fact.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Indeed, it is a grim picture, but this does not release us from our duty in exposing the unbridled evil that is both the Jewish state and her people, and with God’s help, our meager efforts in this regard will be rewarded with eventual victory over Dajjal and the kingdom of evil he intends to build.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Qodsna: Many experts believe that Iran's Islamic Revolution played a significant role in Islamic awakening and led to the revival of the Palestinian issue and the formation of Islamic resistance movements. What is your opinion about this?<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mark Glenn: That Iran’s 1979 Revolution is right now playing a MAJOR role in the resistance to Satan’s kingdom on earth—the Jewish State–is not as much a theory as it is a statement of irrefutable fact.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Were it not for ‘1979’, it is somewhere between probable and definite that the present ‘Zionist entity’ would not be the small sliver of land in historic Palestine that at present represents her place on the map, but rather, would be the sprawling land mass stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates as the architects of this evil empire envision, and with all of the Arab Middle East GONE and replaced with the name ‘Israel’.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It has only been through the brave and honorable resistance-–much of which Iran has spearheaded—that has taken place since the godless and unholy resurrection of the Jewish state from her divinely-adjudicated 2,000-year-old grave that explains why today there remain nations with names such as Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, the KSA, etc. Were it not for Iran, all of these nations would be gone, devoured by the Jewish state and renamed ‘Israel’.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
2-Iran's Islamic revolution occurred in a situation where Palestine is in its worst condition. Now the Palestinian resistance groups, which are inspired by the Islamic revolution of Iran, are in a position of superior power after the Al-Aqsa storm and have dealt such a blow to the Zionist regime that the destruction of this regime is imminent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Qodsna: Considering the heavy defeat of the Zionist regime and the international isolation of Zionist regime among the people of different countries of the world, how do you see the future of the regime after the Al-Aqsa storm operation?<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mark Glenn: I know there is the belief on the part of many that the Zionist entity is on its last legs as represented by the international condemnation against her and all the subsequent isolation, but I personally do not see this as an indicator that she is going to fall anytime soon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Yes, there were previous times where Israel played the political game and made sure to maintain support from as much of the world as she could, but now is a different day. As the present carnage in Gaza is demonstrating, there is a new political mindset that has taken over, and this mindset welcomes the moral outrage and the condemnation that has been forthcoming out of all of this. With every massacre and with every outrage, it’s almost as if she is goading the rest of the civilized world and saying ‘this is who we are, this is what we do, and there is nothing that anyone can do to stop us, not even the world’s lone superpower, the US’.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Therefore, I believe that it is a mistake to assume that she is in her death throes and the moment. She still has a lot of fight left in her, which begs the question– ‘what is it she is planning to do in the near future—a new pandemic, a computer virus that will collapse\/paralyze the world’s economies, or worse-–the use of her nuclear weapons—what tricks does she have up her sleeve that she is planning to utilize in bringing the rest of the nations of the world into compliance with her plans?’<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
3-The leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has called upon Muslim countries to severe their political and economic relations with the Zionist regime, and to cut off Tel Aviv's vital arteries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Qodsna: What is your opinion and what solutions do you suggest to achieve this goal?<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mark Glenn: As much as this represents the only rational and moral solution to the present crisis that began in 1948 with the unholy resurrection of the Jewish State, nevertheless, absent these other nations aligning themselves with economic\/military powers such as Russia and China, such a move is fraught with serious dangers. Every government, every leader in the region, from the KSA to Egypt to Jordan, Iraq, Turkey, and Lebanon, is one hair’s width distance away from either a coup or an assassination, and they all know this. If they were to make one tiny move in attempting to extricate their countries from the domineering ‘ownership’ of the Zionist\/American hydra, they would see what was done to Iraq and Libya done to them as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
This does not mean however that it should not be done. Sometimes the only way to defeat an overwhelmingly powerful aggressor is to give up one’s life, just as the Palestinians have been doing for decades, and perhaps this is the only way forward for the nations in the region. The alternative is to die a coward’s death, with no honor, no dignity and to be remembered as merely a gear in Satan’s machinery of death, destruction, and oppression, certainly not something that any self-respecting human being wants written on their gravestone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Resistance is the only option. May God give all people of good will the strength to do what must be done, lest, as both Jesus Christ and Mohammad warned about these days of Anti-Christ\/Dajjal, ‘no flesh will survive’.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
