RAFSANJANIIt has been 30 years since Free Thinkers and Enlightened Seekers of Justice followed the call of Imam Khomeini and went on the streets to protest the occupation of Jerusalem, which has become a symbol for the oppression and assault of oppressed people by an absolutely illegitimate, fraudulent, and usurping Government.  They made their displeasure known in the face of the horrendous crimes and injustice of a certain minority wanting an international totality [of power]. We witness how the shouts of protest and this meaningful participation is like an earthquake shaking the web-like foundations of tyranny & oppression, healing the wounded body of noble Islam.

People in Islamic Iran and other Muslim countries of the world will be commemorating this day while the world's oppressive leaders are abusing the dispute among the Mujahidin of Islam, sinking their teeth into the dispute of the fighters of Palestine itself, by spreading religious and social discord.

God forbids us, interpreting this most important day...[and] denouncing oppression, to cause it to be forgotten in midst of these disputes. That would pour water into the mills of those who have always intended to erase this common holy place from Islam.

God willing, Your unprecedented great presence in Islamic and non-Islamic countries, in all cities and villages of our dear Iran will be shedding light on the Overlooked, who think that the passing of time has covered up the Palestine issue. And To You I Say: The Night Is Darkest Before Sunrise.
