Iranian President speaks to thousands in Lebanese village


Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gave a speech to a crowd of thousands in the southern Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil on Thursday, telling his audience that "Lebanese resistance is more powerful than the swords of Zionists."

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu responded to Ahmadinejad's speech at Independence Hall in Tel Aviv on Thursday, and said: "We heard the blasphemous curses from the Lebanese border today. The best answer to these swears was given here 62 years ago: The state and all that was built and created since then."
