Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani lashed out at Israel for its crimes against the Palestinians in their own territories and the support provided by the western countries for this regime, and said the Zionist regime represents the modern face of fascist racism.

“The Zionist regime represents the modern face of fascist racism, and we see again how the West and the US see themselves indebted to this regime and have pioneered in all-out support for Israel and this ridiculous comedy has repeated behind the same ridiculous face of supporting the human rights at the international level and massacring the Palestinian nation in their homes,” Larijani said, addressing an open session of the parliament in Tehran on Sunday.

He hailed the resistance shown by the Palestinian and Lebanese fighters against the Zionist regime’s racist behavior, and said, “The West won’t respect the Palestinians’ rights except through resistance.”

Larijani described resistance as the key of success and victory over the Zionist regime’s greediness, and said the diplomatic visits and maneuvers of the western officials to the occupied territories won’t benefit the Palestinians.

In relevant remarks in September, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani warned the regional states to be vigilant about the plots hatched by Washington and its allies, saying that the US-led West is seeking to strengthen Israel and weaken the resistance front.

"It is clear to all of us that the West has a decision for the entire region and doesn’t like our region in its present shape and this is the reason that the British and the French are returning to the region after years," Rouhani said.

"A study of the (present) conditions in Libya, Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq and Syria shows that the West has made a chain of them and seeks to strengthen Israel and weaken the resistance front," he said.
