Supreme Leader Says Thought of Greater Israel is Dead

Not to worry. Allah, and the Palestinian people have ended any dreams Israel may have of Greater Israel from the Nile to the Euphrates, according to The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei speaking at the Third International Conference on Quds"


"It appears as if the following words of God were addressed to them:

"Allah has promised you abundant spoils which you will capture.

"He has expedited this one for you, and withheld men's hands from you, so that it may be a sign for the faithful, and that He may guide you to a straight path. And other [spoils] which you have not yet captured: Allah has comprehended them, and Allah has power over all things. (48:20-21)

"On the opposite front, the forces of falsehood, having faced repeated retreats and having lost vain hopes of the earlier years, alter in disunity, uncertainty and bewilderment.

"The United States, itself, their principal supporter, is confronted with insolvable problems in the Middle East and faces mounting hatred of the region's nations or rather the entire world.

"The Nile-to-Euphrates agenda is slashed to that of security within the wall that the usurper draws around itself, knowing no other means to confront the arisen Palestinian nation except tanks, bombs, prisons and bulldozers.
