Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, purports to be God's representative on Earth. Yet his actions are often more devilish than divine.


New Anthem, Salam Farmande
Like Hitler, who used music to introduce children and juveniles to Nazi ideology and policy, Khamenei is using a pop song, Salam Fermande, to create a youth army of martyrs. 
“Me, the little me, will become your general,” children sing to the Imam, promising him to rise up, to sacrifice everything to him, and to become his Ghasem Soleimani, the Revolutionary Guard’s Quds Force commander who was killed by the United States in Baghdad in 2020.

Poster Produced in Khamenei's Office


Publishing a poster that calls for a “Final Solution” for Israeli Jews, Khamenei is the rare leader who, in 2020, uses the phraseology of the most widely-despised political figure of the modern world, Adolf Hitler. He is also the only head of state who openly and officially denies the Holocaust, the extermination of six million Jews by Nazi Germany during the Second World War.

"As Jews we cannot but compare Iran to Nazi Germany."
The world has no choice but to compare the threat posed by Iran now to that of Nazi Germany before the Second World War, President Shimon Peres told U.S. President Barack Obama in Washington on Tuesday.  "Iran is a threat not just to Israel, but to the whole world. As Jews, after being subjected to the Holocaust, we cannot close our eyes in light of the grave danger emerging from Iran," Peres said.  "If Europe had dealt seriously with Hitler at that time, the terrible Holocaust and the loss of millions of people could have been avoided. We can't help but make the comparison."
