Palestine Struggle Will Continue

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad vowed Friday Iran would work until "all of Palestine is liberated" from the Israeli occupying regime's hands.
In a speech to mark world Quds Day, Ahmadinejad said Israel's continued existence is an "insult to human dignity''.
Ahmadinejad's remarks came as millions of Iranians held rallies across Iran to protest the Zionist regime's continued hold on Al-Quds.
The late founder of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini, declared the last Friday of Ramadan as "Quds Day" to call for the liberation of Al-Quds from the Israeli occupation.
The president said the occupation of Palestine is not limited to one land, adding, "the Zionist issue is now a global issue''.
"The Palestinian people are standing firm. The Iranian people and other peoples will not stop until all of Palestinian territory is liberated," Ahmadinejad said.
"They (world powers) should not think that the Iranian nation and other nations in the region will take their hands off the throat of the Zionists and their supporters."
The Iranian president once again said Palestinians should not pay any price because Europeans committed crimes against Jews in World War II.
He said they could give a part of their own land in Europe or Alaska so that the Jews can establish their country.
"I ask European governments supporting Zionists and the American people that will you allow occupation of part of your land under a pretext and then talk about a two-state solution?'' Ahmadinejad said after the rallies.
"Europeans can not tolerate the Zionists in their region and country, but they want to impose them on the people of the region... Give these vast lands of Canada and Alaska to them to create a country for themselves."
The president also repeated his questioning of the scale of the Holocaust.
"The Iranian nation hates killing and considers Hitler and the executioners of the World War II as black and dark figures," he said.
"But the Iranian nation has a question and as long as there is no clear and reasonable response to this question, it will remain."
The Zionist regime, however, is using the Holocaust as a pretext for "genocide" against Palestinians, the president said.
Ahmadinejad said a "free referendum'' is the solution to the Palestinian issue, saying Jews, Muslims and Christians as well as five million Palestinian refugees should take part in a vote to determine their own fate.
Ayatollah Mahould Hashemi Shahroudi, Iran's judiciary chief, said Friday's rallies were "a good start for the destruction of the Zionist regime''.
Parliamentary speaker Gholamali Haddad Adel said the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands is a "blatant oppression''.
He warned that the relationship between the Islamic world and the West won't improve as long as Palestinians are not allowed to determine their fate in a referendum.
Al-Quds is the third holiest city in Islam after the Saudi Arabian cities of Mecca and Medina. It is the city where Muslims believe Islam's Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) began his journey to heaven.
In the capital Tehran, hundreds of thousands of people poured into the streets as they chanted "Death to America'' and "Death to Israel.'' Some protesters also burned American and Israeli flags.
State television reported similar large rallies in all other provincial capitals and smaller towns across Iran.
