Hizbullah backs Ahmadinejad”s Geneva speech
Hizbullah issued a statement Wednesday expressing support for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad”s controversial speech at the UN”s conference on racism in Geneva on Monday.
"Iran”s position protected the Palestinian people in the face of the Zionist enemy," Hizbullah”s statement said. It also criticized the position of Arab countries as favoring Israel, and questioned why human-rights activists in the West ignored "Israeli crimes committed against Palestinians every day."
Iran”s president accused Israel Wednesday of mass murder and ethnic cleansing against the Palestinians, two days after his denunciation of the Jewish state as racist prompted a walk-out from the UN meeting on race.
Ahmadinejad told a conference in Tehran on Israel”s "genocide and war crimes" in Gaza that Iran had asked Interpol to arrest 25 "Zionist war criminals" for the assault on the strip.
