People who read the room to cater to an audience are never worth listening to, it is a waste of time. But in a corporate talk that is understandable as I think Google didn't have solving the middle eastern conflict on its agenda. I still think your reaction to his opinion or view is a bit childish. But as I said, understandable in a corporate environment. The mistake was to give this opinion in an "official" position. You should also refrain from stating your reaction in such a context.
