An Iranian protester holds up a picture of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in front of the Palestinian flag during a rally in Tehran.
Iran's leader said on Wednesday that President Barack Obama is pursuing the same "wrong path" as his predecessor George W. Bush in supporting Israel and described the Jewish state as a "cancerous tumor."
The comments by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei are likely to frustrate the new U.S. administration which has been seeking to engage Iran but has called on Tehran to "unclench its fist."
"Even the new president of America, who has come to power with slogans about changing Bush's policies, is defending state terrorism by talking about unconditional commitment to Israel's security," Reuters reported Khamenei said at a conference on the Palestinian issue in Tehran.
"Another big mistake is to say that the only way to save the Palestinian nation is by negotiations," Khamenei said.
"Negotiations with whom? With an occupying and bullying regime, who does not believe in any other principle other than force? ... Or negotiations with America and Britain who committed the biggest sin in creating and supporting this cancerous tumor ... ?" he added.
"The way to salvation [for Palestinians] is standing firm and resisting," the supreme leader said.
Khamenei also said the Holocaust was used to "usurp" Palestinian land and said the West and Israel showed the weakness of their cause by not allowing anyone to question the Holocaust.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who previously drew fury from the West by saying the Holocaust was a "myth," told the conference: "The story of the Holocaust, a nation without a homeland and a homeland without a nation ... are the big lies of our era.

...wonder how the rookie prez will handle this news...
Call these people and let them know he is "The Won"!!!!!
If Obama sits down with him and has a cigar and cognac with him...
So, are France and Germany going to put out a warrant for his arrest for Holocaust denial? Will the Brits arrest him if he tries to fly into Heathrow, like this fellow last year? . . . No? . . . Are you saying that would require logical consistency and testosterone?
The curious thing about these "Holocaust denial" police is that they go after only nerdy white folks from free countries. Not the lunatics preaching in mosques down the street in Paris and Berlin. Not Rev. Wright or Screwey Louie Farakhan over here. Not Ahmadinnerjacket from Iran. And not Hitler himself, if he somehow came back. They'd praise him for his message of "hope" and "change." 'Cause they're cowards.
They admire Hitler for the holocaust they claim never happened, and promise to deliver another holocaust, a real holocaust this time, as soon as they can do it.
Good thing Khamenei isn’t Catholic. Otherwise what he said could be construed as anti-Semitism and make liberals mad. But as it is it’s simply “charming.”
Come on, these guys are just Persian idiots,. They are just talking. There is no need to worry your fool little conservative minds with their drivel. Really. We will take care of it. They are not a threat.

How long until Bebe nukes these fools?
