Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei took to Twitter on Monday to rally against the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the nation’s most prominent pro-Israel lobby, and promote conspiracy theories about Zionist control over Western governments.
Khamenei, who regularly calls for the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people, promoted anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about AIPAC amid the group’s annual D.C. confab, which attracts thousands of pro-Israel supporters from across the country.
"Zionists’ hegemony over US officials is such that these poor ppl have to show consideration for #Israel& cover up its crimes," Khamenei wrote in one tweet, along with the hash tag, "ShutDownAIPAC."
"Once ppl in West #realize their problems stem from Zionist domination over govts, great social movements will give #birth to a new world," he wrote in another tweet.
Khamenei then celebrated a rise in hatred toward Israel, which also has been accompanied by several anti-Semitic attacks across Europe.
"Increasing global hatred of #Israel is a sign of divine help," he wrote. "Today Israel is more isolated&its supporters are more embattled #ShutDownAIPAC."
