Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad found new rhetorical excesses today in excoriating Israel – calling its people "a bunch of bloodthirsty savages."

"They know no limitations or boundaries at all any more for killing people," he said, according to a report in Deutsche Presse-Agentur. "Are these people still human beings or just a bunch of bloodthirsty savages?"

His speech was delivered in Bojnourd, in northeastern Iran, carried live by the news network Khabar.


"They have made all notorious criminals in the world get a good reputation again," he added.

Ahmadinejad held both the U.S. and Britain responsible for the Israeli attacks in Lebanon.

"(Hezbollah leader Hassan) Nasrallah is acting on behalf of all free-minded world nations and he will in the near future gain final victory," Ahmadinejad said.

Ahmadinejad warned once again that if the United Nations Security Council did not stop the conflict, the people would take the initiative "like a wild ocean, and create a judgment day for all those involved."

The Iranian president last week predicted that "the final days of the Zionist regime have come," and accused Israel of killing innocent civilians after failing to defeat Hezbollah.

Previously Ahmadinejad threatened to "wipe Israel off the map." He has denied the Holocaust and suggested Israel be moved to Europe.
