Iran´s criticism of Israel prompts UN walkout

[Al Arabiya Latest] Europeans walked out on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speech to a United Nations racism summit Monday when he accused Israel of being the "most cruel and racist regime."

The conference had already been badly undermined when the U.S. and at lest seven other Western nations decided to boycott the conference over concerns that it would be used as a platform for attacks against Israel.

The boycott left Ahmadinejad as the only head of state in attendance, and his speech produced the kind of language that many Western countries and Israel had feared.

Ahmadinejad, who has in the past cast doubt on the Nazi Holocaust, accused Israel of occupying Palestinian territories "on the pretext of Jewish suffering."

He was quoted on Sunday by Iran's state broadcaster as saying "the Zionist ideology and regime are the flag bearers of racism."
