Tehran (dpa) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Saturday that the Palestinians and "other nations" will eventually remove Israel from the region.
Addressing a mass demonstration in Tehran - one of many organized throughout Iran to commemorate the 27th anniversary of the Islamic revolution - he once again questioned the Holocaust "fairy tale".
"We ask the West to remove what they created sixty years ago and if they do not listen to our recommendations, then the Palestinian nation and other nations will eventually do this for them," Ahmadinejad said in a ceremony marking the 27th anniversary of the Islamic revolution.
"Do the removal of Israel before it is too late and save yourself from the fury of regional nations," the ultra-conservative president said. He once again called the Holocaust a "fairy tale" and said Europeans have become hostages of "Zionists" in Israel.
He also accused Europeans for not allowing "neutral scholars" to investigate in Europe and make a scientific report on "the truth about the fairy tale of Holocaust."
"How comes that insulting the prophet of Muslims worldwide is justified within the framework of press freedom, but investigating about the fairy tale Holocaust is not?" Ahmadinejad said.
"The real Holocaust is what is happening in Palestine where the Zionists avail themselves of the fairy tale of Holocaust as blackmail and justification for killing children and women and making innocent people homeless," Ahmadinejad said.
The president said that the results of the parliamentary elections in Palestine and the victory of the Hamas group "clearly showed what the people really want."
"You (the West) want democracy but do not respect the outcome," Ahmadinejad said, referring to the election results in Iraq and Palestine.
"It seems that you (the West) only want that form of democracy whose results just repeat your standpoints and only follow your policies," he said.
Ahmadinejad once again called on the West to adopt the "simple option" and allow Palestinians to voice their political will through a referendum.
Mass demonstrations organized by the state were held throughout Iran on Saturday as the nation commemorated the 27th anniversary of the revolution that established the Islamic Republic in Iran.
According to state media, hundreds of thousands of people came into the streets to show their solidarity with the government over pursuing the country's nuclear programmes and voice their protest against publication of cartoons deemed insulting to the Prophet Mohammed.
While chanting "Death to America", "Death of Israel" and "Nuclear energy is our undisputable right", the crowd walked toward the Azadi (Freedom) Square in Tehran where Ahmadinejad held his annual speech.
In his speech the Iranian president warned that in case of harsh measures against Tehran over its controversial nuclear programme, the country would revise its commitment toward the Nuclear Non- Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
"The policy of Iran has so far been pursuing nuclear technology within the framework of the NPT and IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency)," he said.
"But if you (the West) continue efforts to deprive the Iranian nation from this (nuclear) right, then we would reconsider this policy," he warned.
Ahmadinejad asked the crowd in the Azadi square to tell the world its message and show its willingness to continue the nuclear programmes despite Western pressure.
"The era of military force is over, today is the era of nations, logic and worshippers of God," the president said.
He also referred to remarks by United States President George W. Bush who had said that the Iranian people were different from the Islamic government in Tehran, saying there was no distinction.
"Look, this is the third generation standing here and they are even more religious, more informed, more enthusiastic and more resistant (than the first generation) to defend the ideals of the revolution," Ahmadinejad said.
The president also referred to the cartoons and called it a "Zionist plot" against not only Muslims but also those genuinely committed to Christianity and Judaism.
"Those who insulted the prophet should know that you cannot obscure the sun with a handful of dust. The dust will just get back and blind your own eyes," he said.
The crowd replied to his remarks with "Death to Denmark" slogans.
Sure sounds to me like he is declaring war on the Israeli's in the name of the Palestinians, and himself.
Those good people of Iran I have heard about who dont agree with this buttface better act soon or it will be too late.
"The era of military force is over, today is the era of nations, logic and worshippers of God," the president said.
Gee, if the era of military force is over, how come he wants nukes?
Cork-sucker.
Mebbe we should start calling him "Always Abdul"? he he
I am almost to the point of "Kill them ALL and let GOD sort them out"!

This man gets more bold with each passing day and can you blame him? He says and does OUTRAGEOUS things and Western countries and the UN just wring their hands and talk of diplomacy and appeasement.
Wake up, world, this man is a dangerous raving lunatic.

His room temperature assumption over/under is 45 days.
The sooner, the better!
My gut tells me that Iran/Syria are much further along with "the bomb" than we realize. Probably aided by material and technology transfers from Iraq while the West "let diplomacy take its course."
Boy he wants those 72 virgins bad, doesn't he?
Not to mention the "Bush Lied" mantra.
Sorry, Mr. Big Mouth- you're irrelevant.
The Cockroach That Roared will probably get squashed sometime before Easter.
