Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is urging Palestinians to launch another violent intifada targeting Israelis, according to Reuters.
Speaking at a recent conference in Tehran, Khamenei called for Israels destruction and referred to the Jewish state as a cancerous tumor.
by Allahs permission, we will see that this intifada will begin a very important chapter in the history of fighting and that it will inflict another defeat on that usurping regime, Khamenei said, according to a transcript of the remarks featured on his website.

The Palestinian intifada continues to gallop forward in a thunderous manner so that it can achieve its other goals until the complete liberation of Palestine, headded.
For years, senior Iranian figures have called for Israels destruction. These statements, however, are not just rhetoric to invigorate domestic audiences. Iran has invested considerable resources to prop up terrorist proxies, including Hamas and Hezbollah, in order to militarily confront Israel. Iran also finances and explicitly encourages Palestinians to engage in individual terrorist initiatives.
Furthermore, sanctions relief in the 2015 Iran nuclear deal enabled Iran to enhance its terroractivities, and to increase funding for Palestinians who attack Israelis. Last year, the Iranian ambassador to Lebanonconfirmedthat every Palestinian terrorists family will receive $7,000 for attacking Israelis, and $30,000 if a familys home is demolished by the Israel Defense Forces. Financial transferswillbe distributed through the Palestinian branch of Irans 25-year-old Shahid Institutions.
The martyrs blood will release the entire Palestine, from the river to the sea, Ambassador Mohammad Fathali said.
In January 2016, Hezbollahs Unit 133 tried tocoordinate a Palestinian terrorist cellin the West Bank, sending operatives there $5,000 to buy weapons to kill Israeli soldiers. Its believed that Hezbollah was trying to escalate Palestinian violence into a full-fledged uprising.
Acting on Iranian orders, Hezbollah directed and coordinated dozens of Palestinian terrorist cells during the Second Intifada. And from 2002 to 2007, Irans Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Hezbollahdirected and coordinated dozens of Palestinian terrorist networks, mostly cells that were part of Fatahs Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. Throughout the 1990s, Hezbollah (at Irans behest) also worked to cripplethe Oslo peace process and damage the Palestinian Authority.
Ayatollah Khameneis latest call for the Jewish states destruction is much more than political bluster. His remarks were intended to ignite widespread terrorist violence.
