Ahmadinejad attacks Israel over War Crimes

Islam Times reports from Al-Manar: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad blasted Israeli inhumane crimes, insisting that the era of the Zionist regime and its allies is inching towards an end. "Your [Israelis and their allies] time is over… You should respect the Palestinian people and go back to your own home," Ahmadinejad said during an international conference on Palestine in Tehran on Sunday.

Ahmadinejad made his remarks at a conference called "National and Islamic Solidarity for the Future of Palestine" where he declared Israel the reason for instability in the Middle East. Also in attendance at the conference were Hamas Politburo Chief Khaled Meshal, Islamic Jihad leader Ramadan Abdullah Shallah and the head of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine General Command, Ahmed Jibril.

Ahmadinejad stressed that Zionists are the root cause of all wars, terror acts, crimes and destruction in the world. "Their presence even in one inch of the region's soil causes threat, crisis and war," he said. "The only way to confront them is through the heroic resistance of the Palestinian youths and that of the regional nations."

"You have no repute among the regional nations…You should recognize that regional nations are wise. The Zionist regime will face no other fate than collapse if it continues its aggression," he added. Ahmadinejad said that Israel has no mission but occupation, aggression and spreading warmongering policies, adding, "Anti-terrorism slogans are just pretexts for presence in the region and support for the Zionism."

He emphasized that the Zionist entity is on the decline and has reached an impasse, calling on the Palestinians and regional nations to strengthen their unity to achieve victory over Israel. "Unity and readiness of the Palestinian people are the only ways to control this evil demon and send it to the bottom of hell," said the Iranian president.

He expressed Iran's full support for the Palestinian resistance against Israel.

Ahmadinejad reiterated that the European and American people intend to put an end to Zionist thoughts and added, "If the European governments and the US have doubts about this fact, they should allow their people to express their views about the fake Zionist regime in a free referendum."
