(August 5, 2022 / JNS) Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was denounced by Deborah Lipstadt, the U.S. Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism, on Thursday for tweeting about “Zionist merchants.” His post accused Western powers of being a “mafia.” “At the top of this mafia stand the prominent Zionist merchants, and the politicians obey them,” he tweeted. “The U.S. is their showcase, and they’re spread out everywhere.” In response, Lipstadt denounced the tweet on behalf of the United States. “This rhetoric is unacceptable—not to mention dangerous—especially from a head of state.” It must cease,” she tweeted.
