U.S. Delegation Stays Put for Ahmadinejad Speech at U.N.

The U.S. delegation at the United Nations remained seated for a speech delivered by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at a UN session today, according to Fox News, during which the Iranian President, defended holocaust denial by criticizing those who “infringe upon other’s freedom and allow sacrilege to people’s beliefs and sanctities, while they criticize posing questions or investigating into historical issues,” according to Breitbart.

Israel’s envoy Ron Prosor led his country’s representatives out of the session in protest, telling reporters “There is no justice and no judge,” according to the Jerusalem Post. “The leader of an outlaw country that is a serial violator of the fundamental principles of the rule of law has no place in this hall” he said. “It is a shame and disgrace to give someone like him the opportunity to speak on such an important topic.”

The tyrant also hinted to his views on the legitimacy of Israel’s unconfirmed nuclear arsenal, saying, ”Some members of the Security Council with veto rights have chosen silence with regard to the nuclear warheads of a fake regime, while at the same time [impeding]…the scientific progress of other nations.”

In the past, the U.S. delegation has walked out in protest of Ahmadinejad’s speeches when they were given before the General Assembly. Notably last year, when the anti-Semite presented conspiracy theories pertaining to the September 11th 2001 World Trade Center terror attacks on the United States.

A video of the incident can be viewed below.

  • Is it that the Obama administration never read this paper by Matthias Kuntzel or they really do not care less? Which is it?

    Matthias Küntzel – Antisemitism, Messianism and the Cult of Sacrifice:The Iranian Holy War

  • Of course. Obama needs to collect his bullet points for his handouts to MSNBC expressing his policy towards Israel.

  • Things are bad. The Republicans have no chance to take the White House because of Ryan’s economic policies that frighten the elderly. His Austrian economics was formulated when Austria was embracing fascism to avoid annexation by Germany. They wanted to be like Italy and Spain. Obama might destroy the world. This is not WWII. Israel is not going see millions killed and its land contaminated without bringing down the Western World with it. Oil will be $50 a gallon if Israel attacks the Iranian oil fields and Iran attacks the Saudi oil fields. The radiation levels will be too high to exploit any that are left. We are headed for a post-apocalyptic era.

  • Better Obama with his “love” for Israel…
    Ahmadinejad provokes the world with his denial of the Shoa and his will to wipe Israel from the map of the region. He knows perfectly well what happened in WW2.He is having fun with his provocations and their reactions.
    But, if IDF attacks Iran becaause of his threats he WILL destroy a big part of Israel. He does not need an atomic bomb. He have enough ammunitions. IDF is a Defense Force and not an Attack Force

    This is just a repeat of the scenario prior to the Shoah. Anti-Semitism and utter lies about Jews have become what the Germans would call “salonfaehig” (“socially acceptable” – literally something that can be said in a salon). Not only that, but the silence was also that of resignation to the fact that the like of Ahmahdinejad already control the US. With all the terrorist camps in the USA and no move being made to do something about them, but just pressure on Israel to acquiesce or blunt refusal to recognize it, we have all the “signs” necessary to understand unequivically that the USA is in the hands of terrorists who would not even think of showing decency. It is not we who are to be pitied as much as the blind as bats US citizens, particularly Jewish ones who are now confronted with a regime that in case of terror against Jewish Americans or others who might protest, will sit there silent and acquiescent as the butchers try to do their job. May HASHEM forbid, and may HASHEM thwart their plans, put an end to their dirty game in such a way, that they will be wiped out entirely. To be pitied are also those Muslims who are not terrorists, but decent human beings and who will likewise suffer greatly, even if they do nothing. May HASHEM help them also and help us to help them.
    Those who sat silently there and did nothing are the children of those who either refused or did nothing as the St. Louis looked futiley for a portfor its precious passengers fleeing Hitler, yemach shemo.
    May HASHEM have mercy on all decent human beings.

  • SHAME ON OBAMA AND HIS PEOPLE, HE IS A BIG DISAPOINMENT TO ALL OF US, MANY MUSLIM PEOPLE, AS HE DOES NOT HAVE HIS OUN MIND, HE IS AFRAID OF LOOSING HIS JOB, HE IS NOT HONEST EVEN TO HIMSELF, KEEP SEETED AT THE IRANI GANGSTER´S “SPEACH” IS FOR THE USA TO BE ASHEMD FOREVER.
    OBAMA,REALY A PITY.

  • Ed Koch Reverses Position, Slams Obama’s “Weakness” on Muslims
Former NYC Mayor, Democrat Ed Koch, on Rosh Hashannah: “No one understands what ‘we have Israel’s back’ means”. At Park East Synagogue’s Rosh Hashannah High Holiday service, September 17, 2012, Former Mayor Ed Koch during his annual “sermon” from the pulpit, in front of over a thousand worshippers, said “I’m distressed.” “President Obama is refusing to publicly make clear to Iran that ‘If you get the bomb, we will take you out.’” Mayor Koch previously had publicly boasted of his close ties to President Obama. Mayor Koch also said “Nobody understands what ‘We have your back’” means. We shouldn’t have Israel’s ‘back’ we should have Israel’s ‘front’.

    Famed jurist, author Professor Alan Dershowitz, states: “Obama needs to look straight into the television camera and say to the leaders of Iran, ‘We will never allow you to develop a nuclear weapon”
    Professor Alan Dershowitz says U.S. President Barack Obama must tell the U.S.” we will not allow it to obtain nuclear weapons.”

     Former IDF Chief Halutz Is Hawkish on Iran..What is Halutz saying?
    On negotiations: “negotiations have failed”;  on diplomacy: “enough Viennese coffee without results”; on sanctions: without the participation of China, Russia and India – all of which have been given exemptions by the US government – the sanctions will take too long to work; and on the issue of “red lines,” the problem isn’t that they are too bellicose, it is that they give the enemy an advantage you don’t want it to have. HALUTZ SAYS THAT ISRAEL MAY HAVE TO “GO IT ALONE.”

      With all due respect Col. Howard and also to Alan Dershowitz, Alan Dershowitz is naive. He does not realize who Obama is and, more importantly, who controls him. More and more the truth is becoming obvious to even the most naive, for it was cached and coated for quite a while, but now the moment has arrived, when the whole US government is revealing who calls the shots – folks like Ahmadinejad. The whole big melting pot that is/was the USA has been gradually warmed up, and the frogs are either cooked or too weak to jump out. Only HASHEM HIMSELF can help. Halutz is half right, but refrained from stating that only HASHEM can really help.

    • Israel must not attack Iran if it wants to survive. Iran is not attacking Israel but provoking so it will have the right to react. Iran has everything needed to destroy entirely or a big part of israel. But they will not attack first they are waiting to be attacked by provoking.
      I hope and pray every day that Israel wont be fulish…

      • Swiss chocolate

        And Hitler was also provoking, right? Before the Shoa the Europeans and Americans also wanted to believe that Hitler was only these range man with the mustache”…

  • Fredric M. London

    When sympathy comes from the top, you risk you job by walking out.

  • Will the MSM even notice? The world wonders?

  • By not walking out of the UN..
    and not visiting Israel in four years …and not having time to meet with the Israeli PM..
    .but having time to meet with the former big time drug dealer jay z…
    and profusely apologizing to the Muslim world for America ‘s First Amendment instead of saying WE HAVE A FIRST AMENDMENT AND IF YOU DON ‘T LIKE IT THEN **** YOU…

    well you get the picture…
    sad Usn ‘g it…

  • What are the names of the American poltroons, the gutless cowards and sympathizers who stayed put, and what excuse did they proffer?

    • Awesome. Now Israhell is alone with it’s warmongering and threats.

      • Tony you are a real sicko

      • Israel had no significant US support until the 1970s. Between the 1970s and today there has been no major war between Israel and the Arab sh!tholes. If US removes its support for Israel, it will embolden the raghead assassins and they will try their luck again.

        Obama is at worst naive, at best complicit.

      • Israhell?obviously you have not been to Syria lately or any other Arab country. You choose to lambast the only democracy
        in the region and the only one which has a robust free press,independent judiciary,human rights for women,gays and minorities and freedom of religion.
        The only country that is a true ally of the US and whose citizens genuinely like and associate with the American people.
        Just as well that your hateful opinions are in the minority where it counts.

    Jonathan Ames, ‘Herring Wonder’ and HBO Series Creator, Does Israel

    Writer Jonathan Ames, creator of the HBO television series “Bored to Death,” is known for his fearless and exhibitionistic persona. One can find YouTube videos of him eating herring and boxing at the same time, having knives thrown at him by a person called “Throwdini,” and ranting drunkenly at an awards ceremony. And when it comes to writing, Ames’s essays tend to cover racy topics. Given these exploits, it’s a bit surprising to learn that Ames’s recent trip to Israel [...]

    At first you may be skeptical of Isaiah Richardson Jr. He doesn’t look like somebody who would be playing Hava Nagila for passengers waiting for their train in the subway. Firstly, he seems too young,  and secondly, he’s a black kid from the Bronx, dressed sharply, derby hat and all. But when upon meeting Isaiah, the 32-year-old ticked off “Hevenu Shalom Aleichem,” “Bashana Haba’ah,” and “Zum Gali Gali” as some of his favorite songs to play passing crowds, I knew [...]
