Beautiful Moment: Delegates Jeer and Walk Out As Iranian President Spews Hate

Some people are always hollering that nothing has changed since 1942 and that "the whole world" is anti-Semitic.

This clip shows the truth. Ahmadinejad takes to the podium at the Geneva conference on racism and as soon as he starts attacking Israel and the Jews, half the place walks out. (And neither the Americans nor the Israelis were even there).

Would that have happened in 1942? Or even 1972?

I doubt it. But it happened today.

I wish this type of reaction was inflicted on every racist demagogue in the world. But this is nice in and of itself. Sweet, like the Spanish indictments against the Feith/Addington/Yoo cabal.

It just puts the lie to all the fear-mongers who devote themselves to scaring money out of Jews by telling us that anti-semitism is on a rampage, that Europe is a hotbed of Jew-hatred, and that criticism of Israel policies is just a cover for anti-Semitism.

Well, this video shows the truth. The world has changed. I only wish Palestinians, Darfurians, Tibetans, Burmese and other peoples who experience hatred and abuse would get to experience such sympathy and solidarity in the face of pure hate.

But this is wonderful all the same. On Holocaust Remembrance Day 2009, we saw demonstrated in Geneva that the Holocaust is really over. At least, the one directed against Jews.

Bravo.

As for Ahmadinejad, I'll bet this is the most popular youtube in Iran (topping even Susan Boyle). What joy it must be for Iranians to see the Iranian boob ridiculed like this. Ridicule is a marvelous weapon.
