Iran has been well known for it's dislike of Israel for the past 70 years now...So, it is not a shocker, when given the opportunity to open the floor to a speaker, like Iranian President Mahmoud Ahamdinejad, that he would state his displeasure for Israel if given the spotlight...
At a U.N. event in Geneva, Switzerland...on the eve of Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day....Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused the West of using the Holocaust as a "pretext" for aggression against Palestinians... prompting 40 European diplomats to walk out...
The dozens of diplomats that walked out on Iran's president's speech, walked out because of his accusation that Israel of having a "racist government."
Ahmadinejad delivered his speech stating, "The United States and Europe had helped establish Israel after World War II at the expense of Palestinians."
Which overall is true, to a point...
After WWII Europe, U.S. & the U.N. did assist Israel into country hood after the British Mandate expire in 1948...which paved way for Palestine to lose land for the creation of Israel...to this day
there is still bad blood between the Arab world vs. Israel...
However, Ahmadinejad comments were uncalled for and are justified to debate...His comments on the eve of Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day, might have set back Iran to ever receive a spotlight to speak in front of the U.N. for a long time....
Overall, Ahmandinejad is up for re-election in Iran this year....In the state Iran is in, with a stale economy and with an increase in unemployment...There is speculation Ahmaninejad could not be re-elected...
Please tell me her name isnt debbie....
