TEHRAN- A top Iranian general has said that American officials hold a discriminatory view towards the people of Gaza and Palestine.

Speaking at a ceremony on Saturday, the senior military advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi emphasized the importance of generating knowledge and theories rooted in the Islamic Revolution, seeing it as a cornerstone for modern Islamic civilization in the present century.

He stressed the need to align the production of such knowledge with the country's requirements for policy-making, planning, and implementation.

General Safavi also highlighted Yemen's adoption of a new strategy challenging both the United States and Zionists.

Turning attention to Israeli barbarities, he deplored the significant loss of life, with over 21,000 martyrs and 50,000 wounded in just three months. He emphasized that this issue extends beyond the confines of Gaza and Palestine, characterizing it as a "global" concern.

Expressing concern over what he labeled as "racist attitudes towards oppressed Palestinians," General Safavi remarked that Palestinian Muslims are perceived differently than their American and European counterparts.    

"All those who believe in humanity, see this cruelty and brutality,” the general said, adding that the United States, often vocal about human rights, now holds a racist and apartheid perspective. 

In a critique of Zionist teachings, the senior military advisor highlighted the Zionist teachings, saying, “See how Zionists view non-Jews. In their teachings, they consider non-Jews to be animals.”
