IRNA: "World has not witnessed crimes bigger than Zionists'"

Ynet has a breaking news item about this speech, but it is pretty typical hyperbolic Iranian denunciation of the usurper Zionist entity. A rotating cast of Iranian officials seem to make pronouncements such as this one almost daily. Ahmadinejad is, of course, a keen student of history:

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in the whole history nobody has witnessed crimes like the ones committed by the Zionist regime against the Palestinian.

Speaking in a ceremony dubbed as "Appreciating the servants of the martyrs", the president said, "The Zionist regime in the past 60 years has surrounded people in their houses and has killed kids and adults in the name of fight against terrorism."
All who want to impose themselves by force have reached to their end and human beings will not accept their logic, Ahmadinejad continued.

He concluded, "We must be patient and insist on our principles, so by God's help this puppet regime will collapse."

Meanwhile at IRIB we learn that "Students protest Zionists' crimes":

Hundreds of students members of the Basij Organization gathered at Palestine square, Tehran, on Monday to protest against the Zionist crimes in the Gaza Strip.

The students carried placards condemning the Zionist regime's brutality in the Gaza Strip and urged international bodies to prevent the Zionists from committing more crimes.

The protesters also carried pictures of savage killings of the Palestinian youth, children and women displaying violation of human rights.

They called for the world nations to force Zionists to stop massacre of the innocent children in the occupied lands.

By chanting slogans such as "Death to America" and "Death to Israel", the demonstrators voiced their anger over the Zionists' savage attacks on the occupied territories.

At the end of their gathering, the Basijis signed a scroll expressing disgust at genocide of the defenseless Palestinian people by the apartheid regime.

Classy. According to Wikipedia:

The Basij . . . is a volunteer based Iranian paramilitary force founded by order of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini on November 1979. It serves as an auxiliary force engaged in activities such as law enforcement, emergency management, and most controversially the suppression of dissident gatherings.
