Speaking at a government rally, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Israel was formed on the “false and mythical claim” of the mass killing of Jews in the Second World War and added that it was his people’s “moral duty” to stand up against it.
“If the Holocaust was a real event, why don’t they allow research on it to clear up facts?” he said, before going on to accuse world leaders of favouring Israel and disregarding allegations of human rights abuses against Palestinians.
“The UN and world powers issue anti-Iranian resolutions when a cat is run over by a truck on the streets here, but when it comes to Israel, they cover up crimes,” he said.
Britain was swift in condemning Mr Ahmadinejad’s remarks, calling them “abhorrent as well as ignorant”.
Foreign Secretary David Miliband said: “It is very important that the world community stands up against this tide of abuse. This outburst is not worthy of the leader of Iran.”
Mr Ahmadinejad repeated his predictions that Israel would soon cease to exist and urged people to stand up against the “Zionist regime as a national and moral duty”.
“This Israeli regime will not last long,” he told his audience. “Do not tie your fate to it. This regime has no future. Its life has come to an end. The Zionist regime is the symbol of lies and deception. Its existence amounts to eternal insecurity in the region.”
Mr Ahmadinejad pledged Iran’s full support for Palestinians during the rally attended by tens of thousands of Iranians to mark Quds Day. Quds is the Arab word for Jerusalem and the event is held to demonstrate support for Palestinians.
Other marches were held elsewhere in the Middle East, including the Syrian capital Damascus and the West Bank.
It is not the first time the Iranian president has caused anger with his views on the Nazi persecution that killed an estimated six million Jews.
In April, diplomats stormed out of a UN anti-racism conference after he branded Israel a “cruel and racist regime” on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day.
The president’s latest round of deliberately inflammatory remarks come ahead of his appearance at the UN General Assembly next week.
They also coincided with pro-reform demonstrations on the streets of the Iranian capital, Tehran, in a show of defiance against a ban on protests.
Marchers carrying pictures of Iran’s opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi poured on to the city’s streets, chanting: “Death to the dictator.” At least 10 protesters were seized by plain clothes security agents during the marches, witnesses said.
They were the first significant street protests since mid-July when scores of demonstrators were killed and hundreds injured in riots that followed the disputed presidential elections which were won by Mr Ahmadinejad.
Meanwhile new fears surfaced yesterday over Iran’s ability to make nuclear weapons. A leaked report, believed to have been drafted by senior officials at the International Atomic Energy Agency, shows that the UN’s nuclear monitoring authority believes Tehran is developing a missile system that can carry an atomic warhead.

Actually it was that publications enriching of common angst into the more useful fear.
A Jewish publication.
It may be but since they are Jewish Entertainers it's more likely to be Schlock Journalism.
Yellow Journalism was superceeded by Schlock as more and more Jewish immigrants wrested the whip hand from the British,who they perceive as a,'soft touch'.
Truth be told is that many British are soft in the head and that the Jews want to keep it that way.
Generations of British school children have been indoctrinated to accept Schlock as the ruling ideology of our time,leading this charge over the years has been the BBC who championed the cause as a Monopoly for many years and still continue to do so.
I'm guessing he wore no white hood.
