Zionist crimes surpass all crimes ever committed

In attacking the innocent people of Gaza and killing thousands of women, children, and even the ill and pregnant, Zionists have put every criminal in history to shame, said an Iranian lawmaker.
In an exclusive interview with Iran Daily, Asghar Salimi maintained that Israel’s crimes in Gaza have shown the brutal nature of the regime to the world.
“For years, the Zionists tried to hide behind the Holocaust, present themselves as oppressed, and repeatedly claimed to have been the victims of a Nazi genocide,” he stated.
However, he added, this time, the people of the world were able to closely follow the developments of the war on Gaza and see for themselves who is committing genocide thanks to the free media outlets.
Salimi also pointed out how the artificial military grandeur of the occupying regime was shattered by the October 7 attack of Hamas and the subsequent assault of Israel into the besieged enclave.
“The world saw with its own eyes how the regime that tried time and again to introduce itself as the region’s top military power and sheriff can’t take a step without the support of the United States and has grown desperate in attacking a small force in a small-sized area, so much so that it was forced to take measures that are inhumane and against international law.”
The actions of the Israeli regime in Gaza have been so inhumane, the MP noted, that it elicited cries of protest and calls for immediate cessation from everyone, even those who had always been close friends and accomplices of the regime.
Under the current circumstances, Muslim countries need to act fast and put pressure on the US, whether it be political, economic, or security pressure, to halt Israel’s military operations, Salimi stressed. He described the outcome of the summit held by Muslim countries on the issue to be “disappointing” so far.
“Unfortunately, some Islamic countries are not even willing to condemn the crimes of Israel verbally,” he maintained, contributing to the fact that Israel is brutally targeting Gaza and not adhering to any humane and international norms.
What has been clear as day during the war on Gaza, he said, is that “if it weren’t for the support of the US, the Zionist regime would have no power” to continue the war.
