TEHRAN (FNA)- Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces General Hassan Firouzabadi underscored that the slogan “Death to the US” chanted by Iranians is meant at the 1% capital holders and Zionist Americans ruling the world's unjust system, and not the American people.See? They don't want to murder 300 million Americans - only those that are arrogant, capitalist and who support Israel, which he estimates is only 3 million!
“The slogan “Death to the US” doesn’t mean death to the 99% of the US people,” Firouzabadi said, addressing a national meeting of police commanders here in Tehran on Monday.
“When we say “Death to the US”, we mean death to those one percent who are arrogant, capitalist and Zionist Americans,” he added.
His remarks came as Iranians in different cities across the country took part in massive rallies on Monday chanting "Death to the US" to mark the anniversary of the US embassy takeover in 1979.
Tens of thousands of Iranians from all walks of life, including school and university students, commemorated the National Day of Campaign against Global Arrogance and the National Student Day.
Participants in the annual rally in front of the former US embassy in Tehran known by the Iranians as "the den of spies" vowed to follow the path of the late founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, and renewed allegiance to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei.
Unfortunately, the latest Gallup poll finds an all-time high of 64% of Americans who are sympathetic towards Israel, which comes out to 200 million Americans who deserve to die. But still - this is a great improvement over the previous Iranian demands of death to all Americans. Those 114 million of Americans who might survive Iran's selection process should be enough to give Rouhani a Nobel Peace Prize next year.
This also gives great hope to the Roger Cohens and Max Blumenthals and Walt/Mearsheimers in the US who are trying their hardest to end up in the privileged minority of American Jews whom Iran would allow to live.
