Quiggin Report #12 - Happy Al Quds Day!

Al-Quds (Arabic for Jerusalem) Day has been held on the last Friday of Ramadan in the Islamic Republic since the 1979 revolution. It was created as a counter to Jerusalem Day, held this year on May 24th, on which Israelis celebrate the reunification of the city after Israel’s victory in the 1967 Six-Day War. Iran has sworn the destruction of the Jewish state, and backs militant groups with similar ideologies such as the Gaza Strip’s Hamas and Lebanon’s Hezbollah. Flags and clothing bearing the insignia of both organizations were wore by many in the crowds. These Islamists are continuously staging anti-Jewish movements particularly problematic in Toronto, Canada and London, England. The Iranian government uses surrogate mosques, usually Pakistani, to funnel foreign money and pay protesters to attend these demonstrations to show perceived power and influence by the Iranian regime. These organized demonstrations are an increasing headache to western governments.
