Iran’s Supreme Leader has a special Christmas message for his English readers, with his own version of “What Would Jesus Do?”.
If #Jesus were among us today he wouldn't spare a second to fight the arrogants&support the oppressed.#Ferguson #Gaza pic.twitter.com/P0N8jmKyQU

Apparently, Jesus’s priority today would be for a battle against the oppression of Israel:
On birth anniversary of #Jesus, we see Zionists’ atrocities before which no follower of #Moses, Jesus or #Muhammad (pbut) can keep silent.

It’s time for all caring Muslims, Christians & Jews to obey the prophets & truly honor #Jesus' birthday by standing up agnst Israeli crimes.

And Jesus would also be alongside African Americans — and the Supreme Leader — against the oppression of the US establishment, complete with the latest Twitter hashtags:
#Jesus like all prophets was herald of monotheism& human dignity; nowadays humanity needs this message more than ever.#Ferguson #Gaza

Unconcerned abt the teachings of #Jesus, arrogants have tightened the living sphere for nations and oppressed ppl. #BlackLivesMatter

The Supreme Leader’s campaign was not taken up by his President, Hassan Rouhani, who preferred to focus on the upside and leave out the Zionists and the racists:
May Jesus Christ, Prophet of peace & love, bless us all on this day. Wishing Merry #Christmas to those celebrating, esp #Iranian Christians.
