"Quds Day is not a day to just defend a nation that's been forced out of their home; it's when we fight an oppressive arrogant system.""There is no doubt that we will witness the demise of the Zionist entity [Israel]," read a post on his Twitter account Thursday.The demonstrations are well-known for particularly angry scenes, including burning Israeli and American flags as well as threatening speeches and chanting against western countries.At a 2016 Al-Quds Day event in Tehran, General Hossein Salami, deputy chief of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, boasted that "in Lebanon alone over 100,000 missiles are ready at all times to fly... at the heart of the Zionist regime.""Tens of thousands of other missiles... have been planted across the Islamic world and are awaiting orders so that with the push of a button a sinister and dark dot on the political geography of the world disappears forever."On Sunday, despite pressure to ban the event, hundreds took part in London's Al-Quds Day march. Some paraded Hezbollah flags and held banners reading "Zionism is racism." One speaker at the event declared that "Zionists" were responsible for the recent Grenfell Tower fire in London.#QudsDay rally is important. Today defending Palestine is defending the Truth; fighting Zionist regime is fighting hegemonic arrogant system
