Well done to the protesters and to those who did walk out while Mahmoud was spouting his Anti-Semitic bile. What does that say about those that stayed? We want names.

(We would have preferred those walking out to have snubbed the event altogether, however).

This from Hillel Neuer at UN Watch:

As Iranian President Ahmadinejad approached the podium to address the Durban Review Conference, representatives of the European Union admirably left the chamber in protest.

As he began to talk, a man in a clown wig ran through the hall, calling out the Iranian President as a racist. Ahmadinejad asked the guests to “forgive these ignorant people.”

Ahmadinejad delivers usual nutjob Holocaust denial

... gets what he deserves.

As expected, Ahmadinejad focused his attacks on the West and Israel. After decrying the trans-Atlantic slave trade, he went on to condemn the “cruel and racist regime in Palestine,” complaining that the Security Council has enabled the survival of this “regime” over the last sixty years. “The word Zionism personifies racism,” he said. “Efforts must be made to silence the will of Zionists and their supporters.”

He suggested that racism is the root cause of the U.S. invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan and support of the “usurper Zionist regime.”

Ahmadinejad then decried market economies, which he claimed denies opportunities for other economies in the world. He encouraged reform of the world financial institutions and the Security Council.

The following speech by the Norwegian Foreign Minister vigorously challenged Ahmadinejad, calling him “the odd man out to hijack the conference.”

“We will not surrender the floor of the United Nations to extremism,” he said.

Referring to the draft Durban II text, the minister stated, “Freedom of expression, yes, but our document is also clear on incitement of hatred and this is what I heard in the President’s speech-incitement to hatred.”

While saying Norway could accept the text as is, he criticized it for inadequately addressing the Holocaust, and said that the conference alone will not solve the problem of racism.
