'Death To Palestine, Wait, I Mean Israel'


This video doing the rounds is from an unnamed city in Iran on Quds Day, when the government traditionally organizes anti-Israeli demonstrations. (Ayatollah Khomeini designated the last Friday of the month of Ramadan as Quds Day.)

It's par for the course at first, with the chant leader shouting "Death to Israel," and the others repeating it after him. But then there's a bit of confusion, when he shouts "Death To Palestine," and everyone repeats it once again.

The chant leader quickly corrects himself and throws in a "Death to the U.S." for good measure.

-- Golnaz Esfandiari
