To Support Palestinian People, Razavi Pilgrims Gathered at Razavi Holy Shrine.

This special program was held on Monday 24th of Ordibehesht/ 14th of May known as Nekaba Day (Establishment Anniversary of the Zionist Regime). This ceremony was held with presence of pilgrims and citizens in Imam Khoemeini (A.S.) portico. 
Holding various protests and gatherings every year on May 15th, Palestinians condemn Zionists’ activities and call this day of Nekbah. This year, pilgrims of the Razavi Holy Shrine got together and chanted the slogans of death to Israel and death to America for the first time.
This gathering in which young and elite cultural activists were present, Mahdi Rasouli Sherbaf and Abbas Heidar Zadeh had their epic eulogies and, also in continuation of this ceremony, Hujjat al-Islam wa al-Muslimin Dr. Abd Khodaei had his lecture. At the end of the ceremony the final statement was read”. 
Noting that the 70th year of occupation of Palestine and dear Quds suggests the crimes of Israeli regime, Dr. Abd Khodaei stated, “Al-Quds mosque is one of the holiest places which have been attended to by the followers of Ibrahimi religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam throughout the history. This holy mosque is located in the Levant and city of Jerusalem and based on the historical evidences Hazrat Davoud (A.S.) was the first person to construct a temple at the location of this mosque and this building was completed later by Hazrat Soleiman (A.S.)”.  
He went on to say, “Some wars escalated in most Islamic countries and most parts of Europe. These political conflicts led to an apex in the importance of Jerusalem and it became a real concern for all the Muslims. Therefore, in dealing with and analyzing the status of Jerusalem, the political value and importance of this city have to be taken into consideration seriously”. 
This religious expert reiterated, “The Jews had disrespected this place during British guardianship. They also brought the issue of ownership and said that this place belongs to them. This act caused Palestinians’ movement against them. Ruthless slaughter of Palestinians, one-sided stances of British government in favor of Jews all led to the formation of an international Fact Finding committee.
 Finalizing its investigations, the committee emphasized that ownership of this place belongs to Muslims. The committee’s views were announced on January 1930. Despite these findings, the Jews still believe that the mosque has been built on the debris of Soleimon’s temple and continue their struggle to destroy it”. 
Noting that the motto of occupying Israel is from Nile to Euphrates, he stated, “This malign regime was trying to develop its land day to day. Taking the advantage of Iran’s Islamic Revolution and calling the last Friday of Ramadan as al-Quds day and also inviting all the Muslims for marching on this day, Imam Khomeini (R.A.) reduced the increasing power of Israel”. 
Dr. Abd Khodaei stated, “This occupying regime was defeated in its attack to Lebanon and Hezbollah could push it back from the Lebanon’s territory in 2000. We will see the destruction of this regime soon, God willing”.
