TEHRAN Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, rethrew his weight behind the current Palestinian Intifada (uprising) in the occupied lands, saying it will continue until the Palestinian nation achieves victory.

"It is a human, religious, wise and historical duty for all the Muslim nations to support the oppressed Palestinian nation as much as possible for them," Ayatollah Khamenei told the crowd at Tehran's Mosalla (grand prayer ground).

He said that the Palestinians are falling victims to the most savage atrocities by the Zionist regime.

The Leader termed as an "not interpretable sweet dream" that the Zionists think they can forever have sovereignty over the usurper lands of Palestine.

"Those who thought they can make Palestinians ignore their basic rights by exerting pressure and force are sailing into uncharted waters," Ayatollah Khamenei told the worshippers.

The ayatollah also warned against groups involved in waging psychological war and rumormongering, saying they are behind problems in the country.

He called on main apparatuses in the country to set aside their differences and fight "poverty, corruption and discrimination."

The Leader also ticked off political factions locked up in a war of attrition in the society. He warned that nobody in entitled to disparage the Parliament (Majlis), the Judiciary, the Guardian Council, a watchdog body which screens all laws to ensure they do not contradict Islamic principles and the Constitution and the Expediency Council, which is the final arbiter between the GC and Majlis in case of discrepancies.

The Leader Ayatollah Khamenei said later on Wednesday that establishment of the so-called Zionist regime in the Palestinian territory, the heartland of Islamic world, is a most malicious ruse of the imperialism to create division in the Islamic ummah.

"If the Islamic ummah were unified, the enemies could never repress the Palestinian nation so fiercely in their homelands," Ayatollah Khamenei told ambassadors of the Islamic states on the occasion of the Eid-ul-Fitr, marking the end of the holy Muslim fasting month of Ramazan.

He said: "It is an Islamic and humanitarian duty for the Muslims worldwide to support the Palestinians."

The Leader likened the Zionist regime to a "cancerous tumor" which, he added, poses a big threat to all Islamic states. He said that Israel should be wiped off the face of the earth.

In the meantime, President Mohammad Khatami who was also present at the meeting, pointed to religious, ethnic and racial divisions among the Muslim nations and noted that the Global Arrogance (an allusion to the United States) is undertaking relentless efforts to disrupt the unity among the Islamic states. He also praised the Muslims worldwide for their participation in the mass rallies on the last Friday of Ramazan, this year December 22, observed as the International Qods Day.
