Walkout at Iran leader's speech
BBC
20-Apr-2009 (68 comments)

Diplomats have walked out of a speech by the Iranian president at a UN anti-racism conference after he described Israel as a "racist government". Two protesters, wearing coloured wigs, disrupted the beginning of the speech by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - followed by the Western walkout. Others enthusiastically clapped as Mr Ahmadinejad continued his address. France said it was a "hate speech". A number of other Western countries have boycotted the conference altogether.

"a number of the delegations that remained behind applauded

Ahmadinejad's speech."

Yes there are people who disagree with the Zionist slaughter of Palestinians regardless of what the old Western colonial powers dicatates. The ones who exterminated the Jews. As for US politicians, well our politicians are in the back pocket of Zionists and there's no surprise in that.

What did Ahmadinejad say:

"Following World War II they resorted to military aggressions to make an entire nation homeless under the pretext of Jewish suffering,"  "And they sent migrants from Europe, the United States and mother parts of the world in order to establish a totally racist government in the occupied Palestine," he said

He is totally right on this. You don't have to be pro IRI or pro Ahmadinejad to agree with the above conclusions.

Because no one in his  right mind think this pathetic clown makes any sense, whom is worthy of comments.

The objective and agenda of this conference was to find constructive ways to prompt understanding between various religious and national groups. Not tirade and garbage anti-semitic views, which this idiots was doing.

Even the Palestinians (PLO) themselves know that, he is playing their cause for his own end - not necessarily for their's, and distancing themselves from this stupid man.

Please tell me, out of curiosity, which part of his speech you don't agree with?
I want to know if your dislike to the stupid government of Iran is based on human rights, or political ideology. Just tell me which part of his speech made you disagree with him?

If the Iranian regime is anti Semite, what is the Israeli regime?
Just want to know how you would categorize this.
Lastly-answer to this scenario without bias:

If I take your home, and you are absolutely powerless to take it back or powerless to complain to anyone, as there are no ears; at the same time I go ahead and make a beautiful home in where you used to live. Does that make me civil because I made a bigger home in where you used to live? Is it right that I forced you out?
Does it give you any peace of mind knowing that the world is ignoring you. Should you forget about it? Should you accept to live in a concentration camp for the generations to come?
You lived there, it wasn't empty. Now where do you live? Do you think it's totally OK and you should accept the fact that you are a refugee and lower being because you are an "Irish" woman? Just think that such scenario had happened to you. That clears your mind in judgment.

Back to the real issue:

In what part of the Israeli-Palestinian issue, from the Israeli side, do you see justice?
Why do you think that Palestinians should not fight back, with whatever they got?
Do you agree with the Israeli expansions, as President Obama has objected harshly to? Why are they expanding? Where are the people coming from? What's the future like for the Palestinians?
Have you seen the film (on youtube) of an Israeli Jew who the government puts an act and "takes" his home (supposedly), how he kicks himself in the head and promises to "fight" back?
Would that be OK if Jews fight back, to take their "home"? Would it be OK if Palestinians fight back to take their home?
Are the Palestinians forgetting who they are, where they lived and what's happening to them because they are sub human and have less feelings than a normal human?
How many Jews have been killed by Hamas, and how many Palestinians have been killed by the Israelis?
Is Hamas the only party on either side to kill civilians?
Would you, as a Palestinians woman (or Irish, or just human), want to live in state of prison monitored by one of the harshest military and jailing (including torture) systems in the world?

I am only asking. It's just a humane factor, and I like to know where you stand as I see how you defend that state. See, These are the issues that bothers me and I don't understand those who are not bothered by it.
If you take a trip to Iran, it's far far less problematic than the Palestinians. So I wonder, why support the Iranian woman (which its great, although not as much needed) and not the Palestinian women (which is very much needed)
So is it humanistic to hate the Iranian regime and love the Israeli, or just pure good old politics?
I am just curios how your mind and those who passionately support the state of Israel work. I just want to know. Again, this is for Anonymous fish only to answer.

Thank you for taking the time and enlightening me.

Was he not telling the truth?

by farokh2000 on

I don't know Ahmadinejad and I am not a supporter of the criminal Mullah's regime. I wish they could all be Dog meat one day.

But the fact remains and this man did not lie in that session, did he?

Just look at the history of Israel, how they came about and what they have done so far. Have they contributed a dime to Peace and Humanity?. I am talking about the Government of Israel, not the Jewish people in general.

The Western Countries that put this Government there cannot tolerate the truth, of course.

Every country has racists. In the U.S., try Southern States.

NO ONE who has read or heard what Mr. Ahmadi-nejad said is making comments. What a bunch of idiots.

This akhamg-e'-nejad is a joke. He is disgrace to the Iranian people. How the hell Iran still allow this clown get out of his cage, one never knows.

How the hell would any respectable society allow an idiots like this to represent them on world stage. This guy belongs in zoo, not UN.

I'd do the same if...

by Ostaad on

someone, in this case someone that I abhor, pointed out my past crimes of genocide and racism which resulted in dumping a gang of Zionist racists, extremists, terrorists and land grabbers on a bunch of hapless Palestinians! That was exactly Ahmadinejad's message, and the perpetrators did not want to hear it. The West cann't stand the fact that they, they alone, OWN the Holocaust, and they throw a tizzy everytime someone tells them that.

BTW, those who walked out were not the Zionists, they were the ones that sent them to Palestine to cleans their own societies.
