At the United Nations conference on racism in Geneva today, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gave a half-hour-plus speech ascribing all problems relating to racism in the modern world to Israel and the Jewish State. Perhaps organizers should have made it clear that a racism conference is intended to be against racism.
Ahmadinejad said the United States and Europe set up the state of Israel as a deliberate anti-Palestinian campaign following World War II, proving that those who do not learn from history are destined to make up their own fake version of it.
Ahmadinejad also said that Zionists controlling the U.S. instigated the war in Iraq in 2003. Racism aside, though, he may have thought that line was doing former President Bush a solid.
About 40 delegates walked out on Ahmadinejad’s speech. It takes a lot to get British and Norwegian diplomats to walk out on a head of state, but no one was surprised to see the French turn their backs and run.
Protesters, expecting such rhetoric, wore rainbow wigs and clown costumes, and tossed red, foam noses towards Ahmadinejad as he spoke. Critics feel that, if anything, this took away from the already circus-like atmosphere of the event.
Ahmadinejad’s exact wordings were monitored carefully by legal experts, noting that the phrase, “Jews start all the wars in the world,” is trademarked and may not be used without Mel Gibson’s permission.
