Iran attack on Israel prompts UN walkout
Iranian President Mahmoud Amadinejad continues his verbal assault on Israel, this time from the floor of a UN conference on racism:
British delegates joined a dramatic diplomatic walkout today when President Ahmadinejad of Iran told a major UN conference against racism that the state of Israel had been founded “on the pretext of Jewish suffering” during the Second World War.
Around 20 delegates, including envoys from the UK, France, and Finland stood up and left the room at what was considered an anti-Semitic remark by the Iranian leader, who has repeatedly called for Israel to be wiped off the map.
Nine Western countries including Israel and the United States had already decided to boycott the conference entirely because its draft declaration endorsed the conclusions of an anti-racism conference in South Africa eight years ago in which Islamic nations pushed through a text equating Zionism with racism.
Amadinejad has vowed many times to obliterate Israel, and is currently working on a nuclear program to make it happen. Soon Iran will join forces with many of its Arab neighbors to March with Russia (Psalm 83:4-5; Ezekiel 38:15) against Israel (Ezekiel 38-39, Daniel 9:26)
