"The whole world knows that the Zionists are going to disappear," he said to thunderous applause before a frenzied crowd in Hezbollah's bastion of Bint Jbeil, some four kilometres (two miles) from the Israeli border. "The occupying Zionists today have no choice but to accept reality and go back to their countries of origin," he added. Scene: A frenzied crowd welcomes Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Israel's prime minister brushed off the hardliner's comments. "The best response to the hateful verbal aggression from across the border was given here 62 years ago," Benjamin Netanyahu said in Tel Aviv, referring to Israel's creation in 1948. In Bint Jbeil, thousands of men, women and children crammed into an outdoor stadium and onto rooftops waving Iranian, Lebanese and Hezbollah flags and cheering the hardliner whose two-day official visit has been denounced by the United States and Israel as a threat to regional stability. "Bint Jbeil is alive and well," Ahmadinejad told the crowd. "I salute you, people of the resistance. You are a solid mountain. We are proud of you and will remain forever by your side." Bint Jbeil was flattened during Israel's devastating summer 2006 war with the Shiite Hezbollah, considered a proxy of Iran. His visit to the south brought Ahmadinejad the closest he has ever been to Israel and was seen as a joint show of defiance with Hezbollah. Bint Jbeil resident Nabila, 36, said "Ahmadinejad is going to terrify the Israelis." "We hope to see (Hezbollah chief Hassan) Nasrallah with him here and to see them both one day on the other side of the border," she added, declining to give her last name. Ahmadinejad later went to Qana, which earned a grim place in history after being targeted by Israeli shelling that killed 105 civilians who had sought shelter at a UN base in 1996 during the Jewish state's "Grapes of Wrath" offensive on Lebanon. The village was again the site of tragedy when a shelter collapsed on dozens of people, including disabled children, during Israeli strikes at the height of the month-long 2006 war. Ahmadinejad laid a wreath at a memorial for victims of the 1996 strikes and also paid homage to the people of Qana. "Qana's martyrs are alive and its enemies are dead," he told the crowd. "You are victorious and your enemies have tasted defeat." Israeli officials have slammed Ahmadinejad's visit as a sign that Lebanon had "joined the axis of extremist states," while the United States called it a "provocation." Scene: Israelis see Ahmadinejad preach on their doorstep The visit has underscored Iran's reach in Lebanon through Hezbollah, the country's most powerful military and political force. But it has also drawn criticism from the pro-Western parliamentary majority, who see it as an attempt to turn Lebanon into "an Iranian base on the Mediterranean." The visit comes at a sensitive time, with Sunni Prime Minister Saad Hariri in a standoff with Hezbollah over a UN-backed probe into the assassination of his father, former premier Rafiq Hariri. The tribunal is rumoured to be set to indict Hezbollah members over the 2005 assassination, and tensions have grown steadily, raising fears of renewed sectarian violence and the collapse of the hard-won national unity government. Although Ahmadinejad has trod carefully since his arrival, he nonetheless rose to the defence of Hezbollah at a rally on Wednesday, saying the UN court was framing the Shiite party. Disdain for Hariri's camp among Hezbollah supporters was apparent during Ahmadinejad's visit, when every mention of Hariri's name was met with jeers. The Iranian leader also gave a speech on Thursday at the state-run Lebanese University, which awarded him an honorary doctorate in political science. He defended Iran's controversial nuclear programme and accused the West of seeking to curtail any progress in the Middle East. "We are seeking to spread science and they want us to keep us in the dark," he told students and staff. From south Lebanon, Ahmadinejad returned to the capital to bid farewell to President Michel Sleiman before his departure.
