Supreme ruler Ayatollah Khamenei of Iran has published a book on how to destroy Israel, arguing that his position is based on “well-established Islamic principles.”

The 416-page book is entitled “Palestine,” The New York Post reports. An item on the books’ back cover describes Khamenei as “The flagbearer of Jihad to liberate Jerusalem.”

The book is only available in Iran, the Post reported Saturday.

From the outset, Khamenei makes clear that Israel does not have a right to exist as a state.

He crystalizes his argument with three key words throughout the book, according to the Post.

They are “nabudi,” which means “annihilation”; “imha,” meaning “fading out”; and “zaval,” which means “effacement.”

The ayatollah also described Israel as “adou” and “doshman” — or “enemy” and “foe,” the Post reports.

Khamenei called anti-Semitism as a European notion, according to the Post, and claimed that his perspective is based on “well-established Islamic principles.”

These include the idea that land that falls under Muslim rule, even briefly, can never again be ceded to non-Muslims, the Post reports.

“What matters in Islam is ownership of a land’s government, even if the majority of inhabitants are non-Muslims,” according to the report.

Khamenei also argues that Israel is a special case because the nation is a loyal “ally of the American Great Satan,” meaning the United States; because it has warred against Muslims on many occasions; and because Israel occupies Jerusalem, which Khamenei describes as “Islam’s third Holy City.”

The ayatollah also conveys that one of his “most cherished wishes” is to one day pray in Jerusalem, the Post reports.
