Antisemitism – A Rising Theme For Iran’s 2016 Qods Day | MEMRI – The Middle East Media Research Institute

On July 1, 2016, the Iranian regime marked the 37th Qods (Jerusalem) Day, as it has since Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, designated it on the last Friday in Ramadan. In addition to the regime’s usual messages stressing the need for the annihilation of the State of Israel, this year antisemitic messages stood out in statements by senior Iranian officials, in newspapers such as the regime mouthpiece Kayhan, and on signs carried in regime-organized marches.
