Ahmandinejad talks to UN General Assembly. At least 50% of delegates walked out on his talk, including the United States. Walkout proves Israel's success
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman [said] the walkout by Western delegates, showed that Israel's diplomatic efforts were working. "Most countries of the free world got up and left, and that proves that our determination pays off," he told Army Radio.
In his speech, Iran's president assailed Israel for what he said was a "barbaric" attack on the Gaza Strip last winter, and claimed that the "brutalities in Gaza have not all been published."
In an apparent anti-Semitic reference, Ahmadinejad complained that a "small minority" controls politics, economics and culture across much of the world.
Western delegates, including those of Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, France, the UK, Italy and Germany left the chamber when Ahmadinejad accused Israel of committing a genocide in Gaza.
Representatives of the US, Israel and Canada were already outside the hall, having boycotted the speech in protest of Ahmadinejad's persistent denial of the Holocaust.
