Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's president, has vowed that his state and others would continue resistance until "all of Palestine is liberated" from Israel.
The Iranian leader on Friday was making the speech to mark al-Quds (Jerusalem) Day, a day of protest against Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories.
Tens of thousands marched through the streets of Tehran in support of Palestinians, chanting "Death to Israel" for al-Quds Day, observed annually on the last Friday of Ramadan.
"The Palestinian people are standing firm. The Iranian people and other peoples will not stop until all of Palestinian territory is liberated," Ahmadinejad said in a speech broadcast on state radio to mark the day.
"They [world powers] should not think that the Iranian nation and other nations in the region will take off their hands off the throat of the Zionists and their supporters."
Controversy
Ahmadinejad provoked an international outcry shortly after his election in 2005 when he quoted Ayatollah Khomeini as saying the "regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time", widely mistranslated in the international media as "Israel must be wiped from the map".
In his speech at Tehran university on Friday, the president also repeated his controversial questioning of the Holocaust, and what it had to do with Palestinians.
"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 Iranian nation or you? Ahmmiiiiiii... ]
Ahmadinejad said "Zionists" should move to empty lands in Europe or North America and out of the Middle East entirely.
"Europeans cannot 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."

He added that "Iran is no longer willing to discuss its undeniable right to nuclear energy" - and he described the nuclear programme as a great victory for Iran.
At the same time, Iran is again accused of supplying weapons to the Talibans, this time it is roadside bombs.
US Army General Dan McNeill, the commander of Nato forces in Afghanistan, said that the discovery of more than 50 roadside bombs and timers in lorries crossing the border from Iran last month proves that Iran’s Quds Revolutionary Guards are actively supporting the Taliban.
The allegation will add to fears that the escalating war of words between Iran and the West could end in armed conflict between the two.
British special forces, believed to be from the Special Boat Service, played a prominent role in tracking and intercepting two lorries that crossed from Iran into Afghanistan’s Farah Province on Sept 5.
At the same time, Iran has signed a billion dollar gas deal with Syria.Regarding HR abuses, a woman, mother of three, is going to be stoned, accused of having sex with someone in a video. The man has get over it with 100 lashes. Kamangir is asking for help.
