"Protestors stormed the stage when Ahmadinejad began speaking and several Western delegates walked out of the room after the Iranian president said Israel was created on the "pretext of Jewish suffering" from World War II.
Among the diplomats seen leaving the room were envoys from Britain, France and Canada, who had all previosuly threatened to stand up and leave if the Iranian president made anti-Semitic statements, the Times of London reported."
