TEHRAN The Zeinab (SA) Society has issued a statement inviting Iranian women and children to gather in front of the Palestinian Embassy in Tehran to show their support for the oppressed Palestinian nation.

The statement reads, "The Zeinab (SA) Society recognizes the Intifada as a great and honorable movement of the Palestinian people and the pride of the Islamic world. The society condemns any kind of harshness toward Palestinian women and children."

It said victory is with the Palestinians.

The statement continued, "We wish to be martyred along with our Palestinian sisters to save holy Qods from the Zionist regime. If the Leader orders jihad, we will repeat the events of Khordad 15, Shahrivar 17, and the eight-year Sacred Defense."

The society called on the Islamic world to unite to destroy the Zionist regime.

The Zeinab (SA) Society statement concluded by saying, "Our lives, wealth, and children are worthless to us in comparison with defending Islam, justice, and freedom. The U.S. and Israeli criminals should know that we will not give up until we reach our goal."
