The terrorist group al-Qaeda celebrated anti-Israel protests occurring on U.S. college campuses.
The group said that “every Muslim was happy” about the developments in a statement.
“We were happy, and every Muslim was happy, with these revenge attacks and operations carried out by the youth of the Islamic nation, especially the heroes of the revenge action in the land of Canaan,” the statement read.
The statement then called for the “youth of our nation to follow this blessed path…outpace them with the number of operations and the force of strikes and to fill the hearts of the children of Zion with terror in retaliation for the blood of our oppressed people in Gaza.”
“While we support the assassination of the infidel Zionists and the beheading of them, we also appreciate and value the movement of Western demonstrators and sit-in students from Western universities, who through their sit-ins and protests expressed their rejection of the genocide taking place in Gaza,” the terrorist group noted.
“Let the people of Islam be encouraged to create groups that master the art of disciplining Jews, Americans, and those who are allied with them,” the statement added.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei similarly sent a letter honoring American college students who participated in campus protests.
“Dear university students in the United States of America, this message is an expression of our empathy and solidarity with you. As the page of history is turning, you are standing on the right side of it,” the letter, posted online, states.
The letter describes Israel using an “iron-fist policy” against Palestine, which has increased in its “brutality, terror and repression in complete disregard of all moral, human and religious values,” Khamenei claimed.
“History is turning a page,” he wrote.
“The support and solidarity of your professors is a significant and consequential development,” the letter adds. “This can offer some measure of comfort in the face of your government’s police brutality and the pressures it is exerting on you. I too am among those who empathize with you young people, and value your perseverance.”
Iran’s Supreme Leader concluded the message by writing: “My advice to you is to become familiar with the Quran.”
