Diplomats have walked out of a speech by the Iranian president at a UN anti-racism conference after he described Israel as "totally racist".

France said it was a "hate speech" and the US called it "vile". Some countries boycotted the conference altogether.
The walkout by delegates from at least 30 countries happened within minutes of the speech starting on Monday.

The delegates planned to return later to participate in the rest of the conference.

One of the two protesters escorted out of the conference hall managed to throw an object at the Iranian president - as they yelled "racist, racist" as he stood at the podium.

Mr Ahmadinejad, the only major leader to attend the conference, said Jewish migrants from Europe and the United States had been sent to the Middle East after World War II "in order to establish a racist government in the occupied Palestine".

He continued, through an interpreter: "And in fact, in compensation for the dire consequences of racism in Europe, they helped bring to power the most cruel and repressive racist regime in Palestine."

French Ambassador Jean-Baptiste Mattei said: "As soon as he started to address the question of the Jewish people and Israel, we had no reason to stay in the room," the Associated Press news agency reported.
The walkout is a public relations disaster for the United Nations, which had hoped the conference would be a shining example of what the UN is supposed to do best - uniting to combat injustice in the world, says the BBC's Imogen Foulkes in Geneva.

Sorry sir, I'm neither American nor Arab but I know the truth when I hear it, and that's truth this guy is spilling- It is because the truth hurts that those hundreds of men with man-feelings (Israel's and America's bitches) are walking out. He stroke their little egos, now they gonna go out in the hallway and cry and console each other. I've seen it before, fucking faggots!

[papersplease]

@simpleJb As an immigrant to Britain, surely it is you who should tolerate their culture rather than impose your morals on the country who has welcomed you.

I notice that Yahoo & News has stopped comments on this article. When I checked the comments were overwhelmingly pro Ahmadinejad or at least what he had said. I guess the truth hurts.

0:06sec...that guy in the circus wig got it right!....U.N is nothing more then a circus, a kangaroo room, filled with idiots!...and we the PEOPLE actually allow these morons to govern US(People)?? I smell GLOBAL REVOLUTION!...four corners of the GLOBE!

@simpleJb the provocative clothing comes from women and men being given the freedom to do as they wish. In Iran, the women would be beaten to within an inch of their lives if they were to dress like that. I prefer Britain thanks. Yeah i think our intelligence is running out, mainly because you cant fucking spell intelligence

@Leila96088 Well I am American and regardless of who he killed or raped it doesn't take away from the fact that what he is saying is pretty much 100% accurate.

Israel is the most racist country in the world, and the UN help put those people there. Watch Louis Theroux episode on ultra Zionists, it will show you what the Israelite mentality is all about.

So how about you do everyone a favor and SHUT THE F%$@ up with your pro-Zionist propaganda.

[from212]

That was scary to see all those people walk out just because he mentioned Israel. Seeing that has convinced me there is something really wrong with our govt. I dont want to believe in conspiracy theories but seeing shit like this makes it real hard not to.
