Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader, has published a book that discusses how to destroy Israel and outsmart the U.S.
The book is titled “Palestine” and was obtained by Amir Taheri at the New York Post. Taheri, himself Iranian born, claims that he got the book from a friend in Iran, the only place that the book is currently available.
“Palestine” is 416 pages long and calls Khamenei “the flagbearer of Jihad to liberate Jerusalem.”
He says that Israel does not have a right to exist:
“He uses three words. One is “nabudi,” which means “annihilation.” The other is “imha,” which means “fading out,” and, finally, there is “zaval,” meaning “effacement.”
Khamenei follows the Islamic principle that lands at one point was owned by Muslims should be brought back under Islamic control. He calls Israel a “special case” and refers to it as a “cancerous tumor”:
The first is that it is a loyal “ally of the American Great Satan” and a key element in its “evil scheme” to dominate “the heartland of the Ummah.”
The second reason is that Israel has waged war on Muslims on a number of occasions, thus becoming “a hostile infidel,” or “kaffir al-harbi.”
Finally, Israel is a special case because it occupies Jerusalem, which Khamenei describes as “Islam’s third Holy City.”
Khamenei doesn’t advocate for an all-out war against Israel. Instead, he wants to create “Israel fatigue” by having low-scale warfare waged against Israel by its terror proxies- such as Hamas and Hezbollah- and wants to recruit terrorists in the West Bank to attack Israel.
“We have intervened in anti-Israel matters, and it brought victory in the 33-day war by Hezbollah against Israel in 2006 and in the 22-day war between Hamas and Israel in the Gaza Strip,” Khamenei bragged.
Ultimately, Khamenei’s goal is to have the constant death threats incentivize Jews to leave Israel. He then wants the international community to take up a “practical and logical mechanism” to end the conflict by having Palestinians and their descendants throughout the world vote on a referendum to turn Israel, Gaza and the West Bank into the nation of Palestine. Jews from other areas of the world would be excluded from the vote, which Taheri estimates would mean 8 million Palestinians would get to vote vs. 2 million Jews.
Khamenei also denies the Holocaust in his book, calling it a “propaganda ploy.”
“If there was such a thing, we don’t know why it happened and how,” Khamenei writes.
Well it happened because Adolf Hitler was an anti-Semite who rose to power and committed genocide against the Jews.
The book is basically an expanded version of a tweet that Khamenei sent out back in November 9, the 76th anniversary of Kristallnacht:

— Khamenei.ir (@khamenei_ir) November 9, 2014Should the Iran deal be approved by Congress, it will further embolden Khamenei 's plan. It is contingent on Iran's terror proxies, and some of the $150 billion given to Iran in the deal will be used for Hamas, Hezbollah, etc., as Susan Rice has admitted. John Kerry has also admitted that the conventional weapons available to Iran under the deal may be used to kill Americans or Israelis.
In addition, if Iran were to get a nuke- and that's all but guaranteed under this deal- then it will be a lot harder for Israel to fight back against Iran's plan. As John Bolton said:
"The world's main funder of terrorists having nuclear weapons gives them impunity from retaliation for their terrorist-sponsoring activities," he said. "Think back to 9/11. If al-Qaida and the Taliban had had nuclear weapons back then, would we have been so quick to overthrow the al-Qaida/Taliban regime in Afghanistan? I don't think so.
Taheri concluded his piece on Khamenei's book by saying, "This is what Iran’s leaders are preaching to their people and their allies in the Middle East. Do we really want to give succor?"
