Declaration of the Quds Day by Imam Khomeini

Bent on the destruction of Palestinian freedom fighters, Israel has been ceaselessly bombing their houses and homes in South Lebanon.
 
I call on the Muslims of the world as well as on all Muslim governments to join forces to cut down this usurper and its supporters. I invite Muslims all over the globe to consecrate the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan- which is a `day of fate' and which could also become the day on which the fate of the Palestinian people might be determined- as `Quds Day' and to proclaim the international solidarity of Muslims in support of the legitimate rights of the Muslim people (of Palestine) I pray to the Almighty for the victory of the Muslims over the infidels. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
 
Rouhullah Mousavi Khomeini
