Ahmadinejad: Iran has broken 'Holocaust idol'

Iran has "broken the idol" of the Holocaust, said Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in his speech on the 33rd anniversary of the Islamic revolution.

"The West and the colonialists have created an idol they call the Zionist regime. The spirit of this idol is the Holocaust (...) and the Iranian nation, with courage and foresight, has broken the idol, preparing the release of Western people, "said Ahmadinejad, who sparked international outcry by denying several times in the past, the genocide of Jews during World War II.
