The Jerusalem Post has reported that diplomats from The United States, Britian, France and other countries walked out on a closed door United Nations Security Council meeting late Wednesday after Libya's Ambassador, Ibrahim Dabbashi--the only Arab country representative-- made remarks comparing the current situation of Palestinians in Gaza to what Jews suffered in Nazi concentration camps during World War II .
After the long winded speech that ended in the comparison, diplomats said French Ambassador Jean-Maurice Ripert, US deputy ambassador Alejandro Wolff, Britain's deputy ambassador Karen Pierce, Belgian Ambassador Johan Verbeke and Costa Rica's deputy ambassador immediately walked out of the council's consultation room.
South Africa's UN Ambassador Dumisani Kumalo, the current council president, then ended the meeting but would not publicly confirm the walkout. He simply stated that "ambassadors always walk in and out."

I support the actions of our delegates. Furthermore, the comments by Ambassador Dumisani Kumalo are another sign of the Anti-Western attitude dominating the UN. If I had the power, I would expel the United Nations from US soil and pull all funding from this extremely corrupt organization.
