The chapter approaches the Palestinian issue, as central topic to the rhetoric of the Islamic Republic, although his support for the independence cause has ideological roots that date back well before 1979, manifesting in certain political-religious circles in Iran. Despite a context of profound ethnic-confessional diversity, Sunni Arabs versus Shiite Persian, the anti-imperialist and anti-Zionist stance and the ideal of supporting Palestinian self-determination have provided post-revolutionary Iran with the opportunity to embody the role of supporter of selfdetermination and defender of oppressed peoples, a role dear to Ruhollah Khomeini.

Il contributo affronta il tema della questione palestinese come questione centrale per la retorica della Repubblica islamica, anche se il sostegno alla causa indipendentista presenta radici ideologiche che risalgono a ben prima del 1979 manifestatesi in taluni ambienti politico-religiosi dell’Iran. Pur in un contesto di profonda diversità etnico-confessionale, arabi sunniti versus persiani-indoiranici sciiti, la postura anti-imperialista e anti-sionista, l’ideale di sostegno all’autodeterminazione dei palestinesi hanno fornito all’Iran post-rivoluzionario l’occasione di incarnare quel ruolo di sostenitore dell’autodeterminazione e difensore dei popoli oppressi tanto caro a Ruhollah Khomeini. Al di là del pur fondamentale sostegno economico e militare fornito da Teheran ai palestinesi negli ultimi decenni, l’influenza più importante è riscontrabile nell’aver contribuito a favorire lo sviluppo di un approccio religioso-militante alla causa, con Hamas, a scapito di un approccio più laico ed esclusivamente indipendentista tenuto dall’Olp di Arafat. Ciò ha indubbiamente portato a radicalizzare e a rendere più violenta la lotta, così come a permeare le strategie messe in campo dal gruppo palestinese a radicalizzare il messaggio politico-religioso e le tattiche di azione di contenuti che fino agli inizi degli anni Novanta erano aliene al mondo della militanza sunnita.

Abstract
The chapter approaches the Palestinian issue, as central topic to the rhetoric of the Islamic Republic, although his support for the independence cause has ideological roots that date back well before 1979, manifesting in certain political-religious circles in Iran. Despite a context of profound ethnic-confessional diversity, Sunni Arabs versus Shiite Persian, the anti-imperialist and anti-Zionist stance and the ideal of supporting Palestinian self-determination have provided post-revolutionary Iran with the opportunity to embody the role of supporter of selfdetermination and defender of oppressed peoples, a role dear to Ruhollah Khomeini. Beyond the fundamental economic and military support provided by Tehran to the Palestinians in recent decades, the most significant influence is found in having contributed to fostering the development of a religious-militant approach to the cause, with Hamas, at the expense of a more secular and exclusively independence-oriented approach held by Arafat’s PLO. This has undoubtedly led to a radicalization and increased violence in the struggle, as well as permeating the strategies employed by the Palestinian group with political-religious messages and tactics that were alien to the world of Sunni militancy until the early 1990s.| File | Dimensione del file | Formato | |
