Stating that "if our meetings do not benefit the people of Gaza, I do not know what reward and benefit we will gain from these programs," he added: "Well done to the awake students of Western countries, whom the rulers of the Muslim world should be ashamed of." Pointing out that they face thousands of problems but still support Palestine, he said: "Given that Islamic societies have the ability to provide all kinds of support for Gaza, in the beginning they only condemned it, but now they do not do the same condemnation."

 

Mr. Ghaffari also added that Imam Hussein (AS) signed with his own blood the refusal to submit to humiliation 1,400 years ago, and we must also stand and fight against the oppressors of the age, and the only way for us to win is in our unity and solidarity.
