He says he has a “a profound obligation” because he feels the Iranian nuclear program could threaten the Jewish state.
Says Jews are an ancient people, and many have “tried to destroy the Jewish people.”
He references the story of Purim, and the story of Queen Esther.
“The plot was foiled, our people were saved.”
“Today the Jewish people face another attempt by yet another Persian” leader to “destroy the Jewish people.”
The supreme leader in Iran “spews the oldest hatred of anti-Semitism” on the newest technology.
