"Today is Al-Quds Day, it was started by Ayatullah Khomeini, one of the first things he did after the Iranian revolution was to impose boycotts and sanctions on the apartheid state of Israel and the apartheid state of South Africa. South Africa's apartheid state is history, now we have got to turn on the apartheid state of Israel - we have to impose our own boycotts.."
