Walkout at UN racist summit over Ahmadinejad's anti-Israel comments

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was the first speaker at the UN Racism Conference in Geneva on Monday. Most of the diplomats from the Western world left before he even finished speaking because he again accused Israel as being evil. He said Israel is the most racist country on Earth.

Some 40 UN diplomats from countries like the United Kingdom, Germany and France left during the hateful speech.

The United States, Canada, Italy and Israel are among the countries that boycotted the event.
