Delegations from the United States and several European nations walked out of the U.N. General Assembly Thursday during Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's speech, in which he repeatedly condemned the United States and said some countries use the Holocaust as an "excuse to pay ransom... to Zionists."
Delegates from France, Germany, and the United Kingdom were among those who walked out. Delegations from Canada and Israel were not present from the beginning.
Here is the video:
The CNN article notes:
On the eve of the address, the Iranian president declared his country to be "a new model for life to the world."
Who knew dictators had such a sense of humor?
