“Here we are now in the United Nations, an organisation created as a response to the atrocities of the Second World War and we have to protest against anti-Semitic speech.”
– Elie Wiesel, after someone in Ahmadinejad’s entourage shouted “Zionazi” at him, at the Durban II conference. As Allahpundit writes, “Don’t try parsing the logic: Why Iranians would consider ‘Nazi’ an epithet, especially given Dinner Jacket’s revisionism on genocide, isn’t clear.”
What is clear now, Roger L. Simon adds, is that “the Durban Review Conference is not an anti-racism conference; it’s a pro-racism conference, sponsored by the UN.”
