Supreme Leader Ali Khamenehi’s representative in Khorasan South Province has called Jews humanity’s greatest problem because they aim to “pillage” the world.
“Consider the most difficult problem for Islam and humanity as a whole. This is corroborated by documents. The most difficult problem has been the Jews.… They are more evil than Satan,” said Ayatollah Alireza Ebadi in a public address aired on Khorasan Jonoobi TV May 7.
“They [the Jews] have taken control of the world in a technical way. They give particular attention to military warfare, propaganda warfare, and psychological warfare. They spread doubt and [wage] cultural warfare. This is how they can achieve their main goal of pillaging the world,” he said.
Ebadi went on to claim “the Zionists” control France and appoint the US president.
This is not the official view of Shia Islam, which recognizes Jews, as well as Christians and Zoroastrians, as “people of the book” or followers of holy writ. The Islamic Republic’s Constitution provides official protection to those three faiths, though discrimination does exist officially.
