Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday lashed out at the U.S. for supporting Israel – which he labeled a “terrorist” state – and charged that the modern-day state of Israel established in 1948 was a “fake nation” made up of people from Europe and America.
In a series of Twitter messages marking the so-called “Naqba” (“catastrophe”) – the Palestinian view of the anniversary of the establishment of the state of Israel 66 years ago – Khamenei repeatedly used the term “fake” to describe Israel:
“Palestinians’ homes & land were given by force to ppl [people] from Europe, U.S. etc. & they fabricated a fake nation in #Palestine.”
“#Israel was initially established thru oppression, massacre & lie; an invader aided by UK expelled #Palestinians out of their homes.”
“During the over half a century since the existence of #fake Israeli state, suppression, lies & deception have been central to Israel’s survival.”
“Then the U.S. president shamelessly says that: to prevent terrorism we cooperate with Israel!”
