Imam Khamenei: Defending Palestine is Defending the Truth
Local Editor
Leader of the Islamic Revolution His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei said defending the Palestinian nation is tantamount to defending the truth.
The Imam's remarks were made as he met with university professors and scientific elites in Tehran on Wednesday on the verge of International al-Quds Day, which falls on Friday June 23rd and will be marked in Iran and several other countries.
"The Quds Day is very important. It is not just that we are defending an oppressed nation that has been driven out of its home. We are actually fighting against an oppressive and arrogant political system," Imam Khamenei said.
His Eminence went on to note that today, defending Palestine is tantamount to defending the truth.
"Today, fighting against the Zionist regime is fighting against the [global] arrogance, [and] is fighting against the [entire] hegemonic system," the Imam stressed.
Referring to UNESCO's Sustainable Development Agenda, also known as the 2030 Agenda, and efforts to implement it in Iran, Imam Khamenei said various aspects of this document must be explained to the Iranian nation, because "this is a very important issue."
The 2030 Agenda was among UN's upstream documents, which are aimed to impose an intellectual, cultural and practical system on the world, the Imam noted.
Stressing that UNESCO is just a tool to promote such documents, the Imam said, "There are hands behind the scenes of the United Nations, which formulate an intellectual and cultural and practical system for everything that world nations have [and insist] that nations must act upon them."
"This is wrong and faulty. What right do these [international bodies] have to express opinions about countries and their traditions and beliefs [and tell them] that they must act in this way or that way," the Imam asked.
Imam Khamenei also noted that those who say such documents are not "binding" are simplistic, because every one of their provisions, which are not enforced, will be considered as a negative point for countries that have accepted them.
