Antisemitic conspiracyAntisemitic Anti-Zionism
English translationIf religion calls man to learning, it does not mean that man learns and benefits only himself, becoming selfish. This is wrong. Others - we learn from others. Others learned. The Jews learned in these countries, but they benefit their countries. They benefit their community. They are among the strongest small group. 13 million people in the world - you know? 13 million Jews in the world. These today form a power wherever they settle. Their votes raise and bring down presidents of republics. Their banks move the world. Why? Because these - their voice is one. While our voices are scattered. You think them united, but their hearts are scattered. This verse is of course about the Jews. But now it has turned around, it has become about us. About us.
Original, Arabic
إذا كان الدين يدعو الإنسان إلى التعلم لا يعني بأن الإنسان يتعلم وينفع نفسه يصير selfish. هذا خطأ. الآخرون نتعلم من الآخرين. الآخرين تعلموا. اليهود تعلموا في هذه البلاد ولكن ينفعون بلادهم. ينفعون جماعتهم. هم من أقوى مجموعة قليلة. 13 مليون واحد بالعالم تعرفون؟ 13 مليون يهودي في العالم. هؤلاء اليوم يشكلون قوة أينما حلوا. أصواتهم ترفع وتنزل رؤساء جمهوريات. بنوكهم تحرك العالم. لماذا؟ لأن هؤلاء صوتهم واحد. ونحن أصواتنا شتى. تحسبهم جميعاً وقلوبهم شتى. هاي الآية باليهود طبعاً. لكن الآن انقلبت صارت علينا. علينا.

English translationFor example, someone attacks the late Imam, Imam Khomeini, may God be pleased with him, saying, "Why did he kill people and get involved in such-and-such?" If this man had done nothing but revive Islam when it was almost forgotten, that alone would be enough/everything. That's it. [Because] the region had been living in a deep slumber, a deep sleep, and this man came and infused the soul/spirit into this nation, and it began to move.

يتهجم على الإمام الراحل الله الإمام الخمينة الله عليه الإمام يقول هذا ليش قتل الناس ودخل كذا هذا الرجل لو لم يضم بشيء إلا أنه أحيى الإسلام بعد أن كاد أن ينسى انتهى كل شيء انتهى لأنه كانت المنطقة عايشة في سباة عميق في نوم عميق وجاء هذا الرجل بحث الروح في هذه الأمة بدأ التحرك
