Zarif defends ‘final solution’ anti-Israel poster
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif is defending an anti-Israel poster shared by the country’s supreme leader, which Netanyahu and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have said advocates for the genocide of Jews in invoking the term “final solution.”
Zarif claims the slogan, “The final solution: Resistance until referendum” shows the Islamic Republic is seeking a referendum at the ballot box for the Palestinians, and accuses the West of being anti-democracy.
Iran funds terrorist groups sworn to Israel’s destruction, including Hezbollah and Hamas. It also hosts an annual Holocaust denial cartoon contest.
“Disgusting that those whose civilization found a ‘Final Solution’ in gas chambers attack those who seek a real solution at the ballot box, through a REFERENDUM. Why are US and West so afraid of democracy? Palestinians should not have to pay for your crimes, or for your guilt,” he tweets.
