JERUSALEM (AP):

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, in a thinly veiled reference to Iran, said yesterday that Israel would "not allow the world" to be indifferent to calls for the Jewish people's destruction.

Olmert spoke after the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution condemning the denial of the Holocaust. The resolution did not single out any country, but it clearly was directed at Iran, which provoked widespread anger last month by holding a conference casting doubt on the Nazi genocide of Jews.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has repeatedly called the Holocaust a "myth" and said Israel should be "wiped off the map."
