Delegates from several European states attending the U.N. conference on racism walked out on Ahmadinejad's speech that criticized the formation of a "racist government" in the Middle East, in a clear reference to Israel.

 "They sent migrants from Europe, the United States ... in order to establish a racist government in the occupied Palestine," AFP quoted him as saying. The speech drew applause from some remaining conference delegates. 

The United States and its major allies are boycotting the meeting in Geneva over concerns that it would be used as a platform for criticism of Israel.
