    Quds Day is an Iranian export, Ayatollah Khomeini first called for it in 1979 to mobilize Muslims worldwide in support of Palestinians and against Israel.

    Al-Quds is the Arabic name for Jerusalem, and the event always falls on the final Friday during Ramadan.

    In Iran, it’s an official holiday marked by mass rallies.

    This year’s ceremony coincides with Israel’s military assault on Gaza.

    “The larger the turnout on this year’s Quds Day, the greater the expression of support for the oppressed people of Palestine,” Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said.

    I have an Iranian friend who told me that they threaten everyone to join the rally and shout these slogans or face punishment or death etc. Even the Jews are forced to scream death to Israel and Iran. That’s the tactic they use to get all these people on the streets.

    Amazing how they scream about the “Poor innocent children” supposedly being hurt by Israel…yet they have no qualms about posing these innocent children with rifles In Their hands. Have no doubt , these innocent children are being raised as future terrorists.
