| [Iran Press TV Latest] Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has praised Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for his anti-racism remarks at Durban II conference. The resistance movement said Wednesday that Ahmadinejad's 'brave and responsible' stance against Israel has offered hope to the oppressed who do not have the power to fight against Israel's tyranny. During a UN-backed anti-racism conference, dubbed Durban II, which opened in Geneva on Monday, President Ahmadinejad called Israel "the most cruel and repressive racist regime." President Ahmadinejad's speech attracted disruptions from protestors within the conference room, and several EU delegates walked out of the UN anti-racism summit at the first mention of Israel in support of Jewish entity. Ahmadinejad described the countries which boycotted or walked out of the conference as "arrogant and selfish." Hezbollah has also accused the West of having double standards with regards to racism and human rights and criticized their unconditional support for Israeli aggression against the people of Palestine. The popular resistance group, which defeated Israel during the 33-day war in 2006, called on the world to play an active role in fighting racism, aggression and crimes against humanity. |
