President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here Thursday that there is no courageous man in the West to stand against Zionists and check crimes of “the occupiers.”

“How can you be a mediator while being on other side of the conflict and support Zionists? Why you do not prevent such savage people who lack any identity? Of course your media might be run by them or be indebted to them,” said President Ahmadinejad in an address to western politicians. Delivering a speech to Karun-4 Dam inundation ceremony, President Ahmadinejad further told western politicians, “If you are not able to oppose Zionists for their crimes and have kept mum, at least stop backing them.” Also referring to the West’s support for such terrorists as Abdulmalek Rigi, President Ahmadinejad said, “A criminal kills innocent people in the East and you show his video in your media, claiming that such a move was in support for democracy. How can you defend such crimes?” He then condemned Zionists’ recent aggression on al-Aqsa Mosque, saying, “The more you commit crimes in al-Aqsa Mosque, the closer you get to death. So, rectify your approach, otherwise you will on a divine tradition face the same destiny that criminals throughout history did.” Iranian nation is vigilant and awake with unprecedented solidarity, standing firm until conquering high peaks, he added./106
