IRIB: "after the World War II, the big powers staged theatrical play to bring Jews to Palestine"

The Minister dispenses some Islamic Guidance in the form of a history lesson:

Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance Mohammad-Hossein Saffar Harandi said on Sunday that after the World War II, the big powers staged theatrical play to bring Jews to Palestine.

Saffar Harandi made the remarks in the seminar on 'Shaping Zionism' at the technical and engineering college of Kermanshah.

He said that both the Western states and even the former Soviet Union regarded their Jewish communities as problematic creating nuisance and looked for ways to send them elsewhere.

"The former Soviet Union followed a double track approach in dealing with departure of Jewish community to Palestine. It helped the departure to have a base in the Middle East to check the Arab states and Palestine liberation movement both during and after occupation of Palestinian territory by the Zionists," he noted.

"The former Soviet Union had successfully attracted most of the Palestinian nationalist groups campaigning for liberating their homeland with socialist beliefs."

Saffar Harandi said that at the same time the Middle East countries were divided into two groups, certain states were under domain of the US and others were under influence of the former Soviet Union.

He said that the same perspective was still the case until the Islamic Revolution culminated in Iran and since the Islamic Revolution was cultural by nature, the nations in the region simply got message from Iran.

He said that Iran was a base for the US and the Islamic Revolution changed the balance prompting the big powers to orchestrate a war on Iran.

"It was the first time America and the former Soviet Union formed an alliance to impose war on a developing nation."

Iranian nation powerfully defended their territorial integrity in front of all world big powers during the Iraqi-imposed war (1980-1988), he said.
