Dozens of delegates at the United Nations walked out of the hall when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began his speech to the General Assembly meeting of world leaders on Thursday (September 24).

Describing them as "moral cowards," he asked for anybody else who felt that way to leave before he began to talk.
