Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, has launched a stinging attack at the United Nations on the US and other major powers as militarist, imperialist and unfit to dominate global governance.
Ahmadinejad’s verbal assault on the west and Israel promoted walkouts by diplomatic delegations. US diplomats were the first to leave, when Ahmadinejad referred to the “mysterious September 11 incident” as a pretext to attack Afghanistan and Iraq.
Later, he criticised the US for killing Osama bin Laden and burying his body at sea, saying the al-Qaida leader should have been brought to trial.
Other delegations, including those from the UK and France, walked out later when the Iranian leader said that if European countries were still paying a “fine or ransom to the Zionists” because of the Holocaust, they should also pay reparations for slavery.

Let’s not get carried away about the Holocaust. It happened. But over 60,000,000 people were killed in WWII. Not only Jews. There was a lot of ethnic cleansing, just like there is now.
Ahmadinejad is a man filled with contempt and hatred for just about everyone. He is a terrorist at heart. His denial of the Holocaust shows he refuses to accept the truth concerning history. Walking out on this bum was to respectful, they should have taken off their shoes and hurled them at his islamic sorry ass head!
Lol, hang on hang on. This guy ALSO mentioned that he doesn’t believe the Holocaust happened. That would prompt me to leave.

Seems like he hit every nail on the head.
They just don’t like to hear it.
This is what teenagers do when their mommies scold them for doing something they know they shouldn’t.
Yes, the elite hate to hear the truths. To them its like holy water to a witch: toxic.
Ahmadinejad has more integrity(and balls) than O-bunghole ever thought about having.
Sounds just like a bunch of child-like PUSSIES to get up and walk out. How gay.
