“Death to Israel & America” Echoes in the US
By: Kayhan Int’l Staff
The slogan “Death to America” voiced for the first time by the North Koreans during the savage US bombing of their country (1950-53), and popularized by the Iranian people as prime victims of US terrorism, along with another popular slogan “Death to Israel”, has today spread far beyond Asia to the US itself.
On the Last Friday of the blessed month of Ramadhan, these two slogans echoed vociferously in Michigan during rallies marking World Qods Day in support of the persecuted Palestinian people.
The US-backed genocide in Gaza has shocked the civilized world to such an extent that people of other faiths, especially Christians and Jews, have joined Muslims in censuring the Joe Biden regime and calling for end of the so far 6-month long holocaust that has seen the illegal Zionist entity cold-bloodedly massacring today almost 34,000 people in addition to reducing to rubble the infrastructure.
It was thus natural for protestors fed up with the brutality of the Zionists and the Washington regime to shout “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” in Dearborn.
Tarek Bazzi, a Michigan-based activist, praised the Father of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini (RA) for calling the US regime “Great Satan” for crimes against humanity.
When asked why he was equating the US with Israel, he pointed out: It is the United States government that provides the funds for all the atrocities against the Palestinian people,”
The activist went on to quote the American Martyr Malcom X, who had said the US is “one of the rottenest countries that has ever existed on this Earth,” while arguing to eliminate the unjust system in Washington.
He said referring to President Biden: “It’s not just Genocide Joe that has to go, it is the entire system that has to go. Any system that would allow such atrocities and such devilry to happen and would support it – such a system does not deserve to exist on God’s Earth.”
Bazzi then turned his attention to the illegal Zionist entity whose very existence is a blot on human conscience, telling the audience that if some naïve and deceived persons were to say “Israel has the right to exist,” then the answer to them is the slogan “Death to Israel” as “the most logical chant shouted across the world today.”
The rally responded with the loud chants of “Death to Israel”.
Another speaker at the Dearborn rally was Michigan Iman Usama Abdul-Ghani, who as an American citizen called Israel an “evil settler colonialist project” and a “cancer”, while applauding those who are willing to publicly criticize the country.
Protesters were then heard chanting “Free Palestine, from the river (Jordan) to the (Mediterranean) sea,”
These events in the US are only the tip of the iceberg of the public anger at the tyranny of the successive regimes in the White House and their involvement in the Zionist entity’s holocaust of the Palestinians.
