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.
GOD bless you and the murdered MARINE!
Since we already paid for them, I would really like to see at least one MOAB do its thing! Then nuke the bastards!
LLS
Yes, but he wants someone else to pull the trigger.
Hey Iran maniacs.
Bring it on! You are so on the wrong side of future history.
Not really. It wasn't Baal talking to Moses.
It's time to let Israel have it's way with The Middle East and remove the Muslim scum
You just have at it there, zippy.
Whatever smoothes the ride on the Hell-bound Express for you.
that HAS been their plan for all these years--at least he speaks the truth--he's laying it all out(like Hitler did in the early 1930's)take heed
Isn't this dude going to visit Cuba in the near future? We need to take advantage of the opportunity.
The one bright spot is Europe looks like idiots for appeasing this guy, and that can only help in the long run.
The problem is that the Middle East never got the the post-WWII 'NEVER AGAIN!' memo. They weren't affected by what we call 'the World War' as much as Europe or America and certainly no any more than by all their other wars of the past 1,000 years. While the West does everything to stick to the promises of its memo, ME doesn't care about Western Civilizations's history. They're living their own, baby!
I mentioned on another thread that i cannot recall seeing a national leader lay out so clearly in advance that he IS going to go to war since Germany/1930's. The resemblance is uncanny.
The 2 plane crashes, one full of journalists and the other full of military leaders, in this context looks more like house-cleaning than anything else.
I think what Ahmadinejad means is Israel will be moved. He had better read up a little about the 5 day war.
Ahmadinejad: Israel 'will be removed'
I think what Ahmadinejad means is Israel will be moved. He had better read up a little about the 6 day war.
Wow, this guy is most definitely nuts. The Holocaust is a fairy tale? I just spent time on another thread checking out a holocaust site, yesterday. Mengele's name popped up.
Anyway, this guy shouldn't be allowed to have hard candy, a driver's license, nevermind a nuke! I wonder what the average Iranian is thinking about this guy?
"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."
All he is lacking is a "NUKE ME" tattoo on his forehead.
At some point very soon, Israel is going to be finished listening to his overt threats, and will act definitively to solve the Iran problem, at least for a while.
Stand by for high winds and heavy seas when they do.
