Mahmoud Ahmadinejad lashed out at Israel, saying the story of the Holocaust underpinning its existence had been smashed.In a speech marking the anniversary of Irans 1979 revolution, Ahmadinejad said his nation will never yield to Western sanctions and threats of military action from Israel and the United States.A crowd of an estimated 60,000 people in Tehrans main Azadi (Freedom) Square cheered Ahmadinejads words despite the winter weather. Many held aloft placards declaring Death to America and Death to Israel.In pointed messages aimed at those two arch-foes, Iranian officials planted a full-scale model of a US spy drone captured in December at an entrance to the square, and hosted on the stage the Hamas prime minister of Gaza.Hamas will never recognise Israel, Gaza leader Ismail Haniya told the crowd just before Ahmadinejad spoke.--Agencies
