"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.
"Remove Israel before it is too late and save yourself from the fury of regional nations," proclaimed Ahamdinejad to a crowd of hundreds of thousands of Iranians, according to state media.
Once again, the Iranian president called the Holocaust “a fairy tale” and accused European nations of being held hostage by “Zionists” in Israel. He said “neutral scholars” should be allowed to investigate in Europe and report on “the truth about the fairy tale of the Holocaust.”
Ahamadinejad compared the Holocaust to the caricatures of Mohammed that ignited a wave of violent protests around the Islamic world. "Now in the West insulting the prophet is allowed, but questioning the Holocaust is considered a crime," he said. The cartoons, he said, were part of a “Zionist plot.”
“We ask, why do you insult the prophet? The response is that it is a matter of freedom, while in fact they are hostages of the Zionists. And the people of the U.S. and Europe should pay a heavy price for becoming hostages to Zionists,” he expounded.
Chastising the West for not recognizing the Hamas victory in parliamentary elections in the Palestinian Authority, Ahmadinejad said, “You [the West] want democracy but do not respect the outcome. It seems that you [the West] only want that form of democracy whose results just repeat your standpoints and only follow your policies.”
The current president of the European Union, Ursula Plassnik, who also serves as Austria’s foreign minister, condemned Ahmadinejad’s latest threat to destroy the Jewish state. “That this type of completely unacceptable remarks are continually being repeated does not mean we should accept them in silence,” she said.
Plassnik also said that the land of Israel should be divided between Arabs and Israelis, living side-by-side in two states, without violence or terrorism.
Right before Ahmadinejad’s speech, which also focused on Iran’s “inalienable” right to develop nuclear power, the crowd chanted “Death to America,” “Death to Israel,” and “Nuclear energy is our inalienable right.”
After Ahmadinejad declared that dust will blind “those who insulted the prophet,” the crowd cried, “Death to Denmark.”
